RealTimeMP v0.6

RealTimeMP v0.6.0
🐛 Fixes

Fixed self-kill bug: reconnecting players could instantly kick themselves when firing, caused by OtherPlayer spawning at (0,0) before receiving a real position.
Cleared stale bullets/RPCs/custom events on disconnect or kick so they no longer get processed after reconnecting.
Kick player now ignores empty or already-disconnected player IDs.

✨ New

Is a valid bullet hit (owner check) — condition to prevent bullets from hitting their own shooter or a disconnected player.
Object player ID and Pick object by player ID — helper expression/condition for working with player-owned objects.
Optional bulletObject parameter on Spawn synced bullet / On bullet spawned by another player to auto-tag bullets with their owner's player ID.

⚠️ Notes
Fully backward compatible. To enable self-hit protection, pass your bullet object into the new bulletObject parameter and add the new Is a valid bullet hit condition next to your collision check.

RealTimeMP v0.4

🆕 RealTimeMP v0.4 — 3D Support Update

🧊 Z-Axis support

Players can now sync their Z position in 3D space.
SendPlayerState accepts a new Z parameter, and the new PlayerZ() expression lets you read any player's Z position.

Use 0 for 2D games — fully backward compatible.

---

🎬 3D animation sync

SyncPlayerFull now supports syncing animations on 3D objects:

• Sends both animation index (animIdx) and 3D animation name (anim3d)
• Safe function checks prevent crashes on 3D objects
• Animation is applied immediately on player spawn

---

🧍 Smarter player spawning

When a new player joins, their Z position and animation state are applied instantly on spawn instead of waiting for the next frame.

---

⚠️ Upgrade notes

• SendPlayerState has a new Z parameter — add 0 if you're on a 2D game
• Everything else is plug-and-play with your existing setup

RealTimeMP v0.3

🎮 RealTimeMP v0.3

What's New

✨ New Features

• In-game Chat UI — A new Show Chat UI action that opens a fully built-in chat overlay inside your game. Players can send and receive messages in real time while inside a room. Call the action again to toggle/close the panel. No setup required.

• Set Player Name — A new Set Player Name action lets you change the player's display name at any time during the game, even after connecting. The new name is instantly synced with the server and all other players in the room.

🔧 Improvements

• Lobby UI overhaul — The Show Lobby UI panel has been significantly redesigned with a cleaner layout and two tabs:

  • Join — Browse available rooms and join with one click
  • ➕ Create Room — Players can now create a room directly from the lobby UI without any extra events. Fill in the name, max players, password, and privacy setting, then hit 🚀 Create Room — you automatically become the host.

  Previously the lobby only showed a message "Ask someone to create one!" with no creation option at all.

• General stability fixes — Various internal improvements to connection handling and state management across scenes.

📦 How to Update

1. Remove the old RealTimeMP extension from your project
2. Import the new RealTimeMP0_3.json file
