Question
Context: The game is a multiplayer tactics game with turn queue similar to FF7. 4 characters per player, 2 players.
Each character has 3 multiplayer synchronized stats using Godot’s MultiplayerSynchronizer node:
- Readiness (R) - how far a character is from taking a turn
- Speed (S) - the rate at which Readiness fills up
- Time (T) - multiplier required to achieve a turn
At the start of each turn, I have each character compute and update its own T, assuming that it’ll be synced between the 2 players automatically. Then, off of that I sort the characters and get the one with smallest T value to say the next turn belongs to it.
My issue is that sometimes, one of the clients does the sorting of characters according to T value even BEFORE the T values have been fully updated and synced across all the characters between the 2 players; which in turn leads to de-sync between the 2 players.
I’m looking for suggestions around this topic, been stuck for 3 days trying different solutions out to no avail. Thank you so much in advance!
