Syncing Instances with P2P on GM8/8.1

Posted by AouabAdYT
Hi,

I've heard a lot of people having issues with instances syncing , in this non-sense tutorial , im going to show you how to sync instances only ONE TIME using p2p messages.
Works only in gm8/8.1.

This method is long and no sense so if instance syncing works on your game stop reading.

First you should define a script :
//instance_sync(object,x,y,code)

i = instance_create(argument1,argument2,argument0)
i.code = argument3
with(i) {execute_string(code)}
i.owner = gms_self_playerid()
//where p2p_inst is a macro/constant

gms_p2p_send(p2p_inst,gms_p2p_all_in_session,argument0,argument1,argument2,argument3)


This script creates the instance for the client with the variables defined in argument3 wich is the code executed , and then sends the p2p message to all players in session.

We need to receive the message:

We need to receive the message:
//In the p2p receiving script
case p2p_inst:
if argument1 != gms_self_playerid()
{
var _x,_y,obj,code;
_x = ds_list_find_value(argument2,1)
_y = ds_list_find_value(argument2,2)
obj = ds_list_find_value(argument2,0)
code = ds_list_find_value(argument2,3)
i = instance_create(obj,_x,_y)
i.code = code
with (i) { execute_string(code)}
i.owner = 
}


That's it . Now to sync your instance , do :
//Syncing objBullet 
c = " speed = 13; direction = " + string(objPlayer.dir);
instance_sync(objBullet,objPlayer.x,objPlayer.y,c)
