  • Creating multiplayer with nodejs websockets

I am trying to make a 3d online multiplayer game. I am sending the player positions in a dictionary. How can I render the players with the proper name and position?

#For example I have a sample json
{"player1": {"x": 0.003, "y": 1.002, "z": 3.002}, "player2": {"x": 0.043, "y": 1.402, "z": 3.702}}
#I want to create players with the name on top

I have a KinematicBody Node with the name player. Please tell me how to render the players in proper positions.

    You'd have to parse the JSON first. https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/classes/class_json.html Then you can use get_node to get the player and and the function set to set the variables.

    get_node("player1").translation.set("x") = 0.003

    How to create the player1 node? That's what I am struggling on.

    So you need to load the scene first. Then call instance() and add_child().

    onready var player = preload("res://player.tscn")

func _ready():
   var player1 = player.instance()
   add_node(player1)

    Irjk915 that's probably was very laggy stuff, right?
    have you found any ways of how to fix that node js ping?
