Hi @quantum,

Can you share your exact code that replicates the shooting behavior to the connected players?

raycast.js

var Shoot = pc.createScript('shoot');

Shoot.attributes.add('maxAmmo', {type : 'number', default : 30});
Shoot.attributes.add('range', {type : 'number', default : 30});
Shoot.attributes.add('text', {type : 'entity'});
Shoot.attributes.add('text2', {type : 'entity'});
Shoot.attributes.add('particleSys', {type : 'entity'});
Shoot.attributes.add('debugColor1', {type : 'rgba'});
Shoot.attributes.add('gunPoint', {type : 'entity'});
Shoot.attributes.add('hitImpulse', {type : 'number', default : 10});
Shoot.attributes.add('damage', {type : 'number', default : 10});
Shoot.attributes.add('camera', {type : 'entity'});
Shoot.attributes.add('enemy', {type : 'entity'});




// initialize code called once per entity
Shoot.prototype.initialize = function() {
    this.currentAmmo = 0;
    this.currentAmmo = this.maxAmmo;
    this.canShoot = true;
    this.damage = 10;
};

// update code called every frame
Shoot.prototype.update = function(dt) {
    var from = this.gunPoint.getPosition();
    var to = this.camera.camera.screenToWorld(screen.width / 2 , screen.height / 2 - 37, this.range);
    var result = this.app.systems.rigidbody.raycastFirst(from, to);    
    
    
    if(this.currentAmmo === 0)
    {
        this.canShoot = false;
    }
    else
    {
        this.canShoot = true;
    }
    
    
    if(this.app.mouse.wasPressed(pc.MOUSEBUTTON_LEFT) && this.canShoot === true)
    {
        if(result)
        {
            result.entity.collision.entity.rigidbody.applyImpulse(this.camera.forward.scale(this.hitImpulse), result.normal);
            this.currentAmmo -= 1;
            
        }else
        {
            return;
        }
        
        if (result && result.entity.name === "RemotePlayer" && "LocalPlayer") {
            result.entity.script.health2.takeDamage(10);
        }
        this.particleSys.particlesystem.play();
        this.particleSys.particlesystem.reset();
        
    }
        if(this.app.mouse.wasPressed(pc.MOUSEBUTTON_LEFT) && this.entity.enabled === "Sword")
    {
        if(result)
        {
            result.entity.collision.entity.rigidbody.applyImpulse(this.camera.forward.scale(this.hitImpulse), result.normal);           
            
        }else
        {
            return;
        }
        
        if (result && result.entity.name === "RemotePlayer") {
            result.entity.script.health2.takeDamage(5);
        }
        
    }


    
    
    if(this.app.keyboard.wasPressed(pc.KEY_R))
    {
        
        this.currentAmmo = this.currentAmmo + (this.maxAmmo - this.currentAmmo);
        
         
    }
    
    this.text.element.text = this.currentAmmo;
    this.text2.element.text = '/ ' + this.maxAmmo;
    
};

That handles shooting locally only.

You will have to network this to your connected players.

um ok… i am new to this so how would i do that?

6

You said you are already having multiplayer working in your game, only shooting is not working I gather?

How are you doing multiplayer now?

socket.io
on glitch

Start by studying this tutorial on how to network your game:

no i already have the exact smae script from this tutorial in my game i just need to know how to make the shooting work

Sorry I can’t help you on that.

In your place I would study how that scripts works and replicates movement to other clients, and I will do the same for shooting.
