No the objplayer is not being created after that point no matter what I do. I'd call that an error!

Try to use debug mode and check to see if the player is actually not there the portals don't just move you to another room
but also changes your x and y position

What is MSG_DESTROY? A variable? Function?

It is a constant

why dont you just fix the whole engine so no one will me confused?

Not understanding and being broken are two different things creating online games is not an easy task for a beginner

Please look at Sabraiths tutorial for further online explanation

No it's definatley not being created because the shops use objPlayer.x and a error message came up saying unknown variable x. Any ideas on what I should do?

Ok well I've created my game again at haven't tried to add another room but when I do I'll tell you what happens. But I'm wondering if you know how I could make a costume kind of system where you change your players costume and everyone in the same room can see your new costume. I know you will have to send a message from the client to the server and another message from the server to the clients. But I'm pretty stuck after that! So could you tell me or give me your engine with this implemented. Please.

Thanks,
Fireball16

I'm sorry mate but this is an engine for advanced users who understand how client and server systems work and before I can help, you need to help yourself to some more knowledge in the online field. If you understood just the basics of how online works you could easily add a "costume system" to your game.

I wasn't trying to be mean about it, I was actually tagging this topic for later but had nothing to say at that particular moment. Keep up the good work

[Fireball16]

Just wondering but could you make a money or costume system tutorial?

Great engine! I implemented some parts from this into my MMO. I like the way you handle'd the player id's in a ds_map instead of an array, makes things a lot easier
I posted here to ask you if it was ok if I used the same design for the chatbox (like the buttons on the side.) Here's what it looks like so far:



And for those asking for help on costumes/equipment just PM me
Although reading a tutorial by someone much more advanced would be a lot better than asking me.

If you use this engine you don't need to give any credits

[Brother156]

I'm guessing that's a yes

[Fireball16]

Just thought I'd say it thanks brother156 for you costume example using this engine you have helped to shift a problem I've spent 1-2 mounths trying to do. So well... Thanks.

[Tazzcz]

Thanks, very good engine ...
My game be they have almost finished just because of this engine.
It has a few bugs such as poorly done gravity (not important).

But it's a good engine.
