ok so im working on a online game and it has a moving boat
iv try ed many codes many different ways to make the player stand and walk around the boat
but the others online are not properly synced

ok so i need a code that will make the player see the other player also walking on the boat

Information about object: Player

Sprite: spr_stand
Solid: false
Visible: true
Depth: 2
Persistent: false
Parent: <no parent>
Mask: spr_mask

Information about object: Dummy

Sprite: spr_stand
Solid: false
Visible: true
Depth: -2
Persistent: false
Parent: <no parent>
Mask: spr_mask

ps i hope this is the right section
becouse it sounds like i need advanced online gml

Maybe something you could try is to have a variable or something that keeps track if you are on the boat or not that is synched with the server. When you are on the boat, it could send a position relative to the boat instead of the normal x and y values you would be sending. When the client receives a position update from a player that is also on the boat, all you would have to do is draw the player relative to the boat on your screen. I hope this is making sense!

Hm you need a server and with each key press it needs to send a packet to the server, which, then sends back the all the other clients. In short alot of code for very little
