Question

Hi! I am learning high level multiplayer in Godot. Managed to set up basics, joined with two instance from game and synched movement.

However I am stuck at figuring out how to set up reference for multiplayer purposes.
Issue is, only last joined player can control in game menu / choose items from menu / instantiated them in game, despite tree being instantiated within player node.

My player tree setup:

in PlayweHUD control node I have exported var for all child elements like buttons which control what item can be picked and spawned
the only var that is not set from editor level is player_node which is set in ready funcion after authotity is checked:

I tried with enter_tree but I have the same result

So what happens
I host a game on first instance of game, all menus are accesible and work fine on host.
then I join on second instance and all menus are accesible and work fine only on second instance. on host I cannot interact with them.

I checked in remote and authority is matched with peed_id of both host and new peer.

How this should be set up?

thank!

So Idk if this is the solution of what your looking for, but I did something like this:

func _enter_tree() → void:
if is_multiplayer_authority():
var ui_scene = preload(“res://scenes/player_ui.tscn”)
var ui_instance = ui_scene.instantiate()
add_child(ui_instance)
ui_instance.set_multiplayer_authority(get_multiplayer_authority())

Basically spawned a player ui instance/scene locally for each player when the spawn into the world. No idea if this is even a fix but its working for me!
