[SOLVED] Multiplayer not working properly

Help & Support
1

I was making a first-person game and since I am new I searched for the multiplayer tutorial
and used this one: Real Time Multiplayer | Learn PlayCanvas
The thing is, after i completed all the necessary steps, it showed me this message in the launch tab

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading ‘root’)

TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading ‘root’)

Hi @totallynotapigeon and welcome!

I guess line 9 and 10 of the script with the error, should be placed inside the initialize function of the script.

Thanks a lot! Do you mean like this?

this.socket.emit (‘initialize’);

this.player = this.app.root.findByName (‘Player’);

this.other = this.app.root.findByName (‘Other’);

var socket = this.socket;

That doesnt work.

No, it looks like you are missing some parts right now.

In the example project the initialize function is from line 8 till line 34 of the network script.

I copied everything correctly though, should i restart?

Sorry, what do you mean? If you copied everything correctly it should work now.

If I compare your script with the example script I see a lot of differences?

The code worked after i fixed line 9 and 10. I just forgot to hit save. Im just a bit too used to autosaving… Thanks for the help!
