Simple WebSocket Multiplayer for Godot

README Godot Version README License

A simple addon for Godot 4.x that provides a solid foundation for WebSocket-based multiplayer games, including a functional lobby, room system, and player synchronization. Mobile compatible.

  • Synchronized match start.
  • Automatic spawning and management of player nodes.
  • Includes a ready-to-use Node.js server example.

How to Start (Quick Guide)

1. Install the Addon

  1. Copy the SimpleMultiplayer folder into your project's addons/ directory.
  2. Go to Project -> Project Settings... -> Plugins and enable the "Simple WebSocket Multiplayer" plugin.

2. Set Up & Run the Server

The addon requires a Node.js server to run. The example server is in a separate repository.

➡️ Find the Server Repository Here

To run it locally, open the server's folder in a terminal and run npm install, then node server.js. For online play, a full tutorial on deploying to Render.com will be available in the video guide.

3. Configure the URL in Godot

  2. Set the Server Url property:
    • Local: ws://127.0.0.1:9090
    • Online: wss://your-server.onrender.com

How It Works

The addon provides two global Singletons:

  • WebSocketClient: Manages the connection and communication with the server. It emits signals for key events like connection_succeeded, room_created, room_joined, and start_game. Connect to these signals in your lobby script to manage the UI flow.
  • MultiplayerManager: Automatically listens for server commands to spawn, remove, and update player positions. It requires a node named PlayerContainer in your game scene to function.

Example Project

For a complete and functional example, explore the /demo folder in the addon's main repository. It contains all the necessary scenes and scripts to see the addon in action.

Versão em Português

Um addon simples para Godot 4.x que fornece uma base sólida para jogos multiplayer via WebSockets, incluindo lobby, sistema de salas e sincronização de jogadores. Compatível com mobile.

Funcionalidades

  • Conexão automática com o servidor.
  • Sistema de lobby simples (criar/entrar em salas por código).
  • Início de partida sincronizado.
  • Gerenciamento e spawn automático de jogadores.
  • Inclui um servidor de exemplo em Node.js.

Como Começar (Guia Rápido)

1. Instale o Addon

  1. Copie a pasta SimpleMultiplayer para a pasta addons/ do seu projeto.
  2. Vá em Projeto -> Configurações do Projeto... -> Plugins e ative "Simple WebSocket Multiplayer".

2. Configure e Rode o Servidor

O addon precisa de um servidor Node.js. O servidor de exemplo está em um repositório separado.

➡️ Encontre o Repositório do Servidor Aqui

Para rodar localmente, abra a pasta do servidor no terminal e rode npm install, e depois node server.js. Para jogar online, o tutorial em vídeo ensinará como hospedar no Render.com.

3. Configure a URL no Godot

  1. No editor, vá em Projeto -> Configurações do Projeto... -> Simple Multiplayer.
  2. Defina a Server Url:
    • Local: ws://127.0.0.1:9090
    • Online: wss://seu-servidor.onrender.com

Como Funciona

O addon disponibiliza dois Singletons globais:

  • WebSocketClient: Gerencia a comunicação e emite sinais para eventos como connection_succeeded, room_created, room_joined e start_game. Conecte-se a esses sinais no seu lobby.
  • MultiplayerManager: Escuta os comandos do servidor para criar, remover e atualizar os jogadores. Ele precisa de um nó chamado PlayerContainer na sua cena de jogo para funcionar.

Projeto de Exemplo

Para um exemplo completo e funcional, explore a pasta /demo no repositório principal do addon.
