Question

Followed this tutorial exaclty : https://youtu.be/YnfsyZJRsL8

Any idea why this happens ? I’m new to networking in general :

Please share your code, as preformatted text between the 3 backticks ``` so that it’s formatted properly.

I don’t know what’s up with that tutorial. I made it in 2D and I think I had the same issue, and I couldn’t move any of the players. I haven’t touched networking ever since.

Are you 1000% sure you didn’t just accidentally write the position instead of the ID or something?

Here my code :

# Network Manager. Global script is actually called Sandbox.gd

extends Node3D
var peer: ENetMultiplayerPeer


func server():
	peer = ENetMultiplayerPeer.new()
	peer.create_server(42069)
	multiplayer.multiplayer_peer = peer

func client():
	peer = ENetMultiplayerPeer.new()
	peer.create_client("localhost", 42069)
	multiplayer.multiplayer_peer = peer
	


# Multiplayer Spawner 
extends MultiplayerSpawner

@export var multiplayer_player: PackedScene



func _ready() -> void:
	multiplayer.peer_connected.connect(spawn_player)
	

func spawn_player(id: int) -> void :
	if !multiplayer.is_server() : return
	
	var player: Node = multiplayer_player.instantiate()
	player.name = str(id)
	
	get_node(spawn_path).call_deferred("add_child", player)


# Player script 
extends CharacterBody3D

@export var move_speed = 12


func _enter_tree() -> void:
	set_multiplayer_authority(name.to_int())
	

func _physics_process(_delta: float) -> void:
	if !is_multiplayer_authority(): return
	var direction = Input.get_vector("ui_left", "ui_right", "ui_up", "ui_down")
	direction *= move_speed
	velocity.x = direction.x
	velocity.z = direction.y
	move_and_slide()


# Menu

extends Control


func _on_host_pressed() -> void:
	hide()
	Sandbox.server()


func _on_join_pressed() -> void:
	hide()
	Sandbox.client()

Here is the tree setup :

Nice ghosting

Problem came from collision handling. Disabling character collision shape upon entering tree, waiting a bit, and re-enabling it solves the spawning issue. Wonder is this is a bug and I’d love to know if anyone encountered this

Im too, and can you show how you do this?
