How do I make an array track all multiplayer peer names?

Hi!

I was trying to make a mass multiplayer game, a game with no limits on player count.

There is no object sync, it just sends a X and Y message to all players and then they spawn an object at that position. I have done this in a two player game before, and I

was very succsesful. I used the tween behavior to make the motion appear smooth. But in

that game, if you got a message, the only other player it could be from is the one you

were in a room with becuase it was capped at 2 players. I figured in my new game, I can just have a object named OtherPlayer with a instance variable tracking who was in

control of it. But I need it to constantly create and destroy these players when they

leave and join. I thought, I will just have a array track the current players, and then

I could use that. So I used the eye sore of a condition:

Array.IndexOf(Multiplayer.PeerAliasAt(loopindex("PeerCheck"))) = -1

Than

Push Multiplayer.PeerAliasAt(loopindex("PeerCheck")) on the X axis

But the Array.IndexOf() function differentiates between each peer that uses it.

Please help!

Sorry about the enter key syntax. I did not know it would wrap like that

I might be wrong, because my experience with online mechanics is limited, but I believe unless you send a main list of players from the host to the peers, as the "source" of the info, you won't be able to achieve this, unless you use a server, which becomes the host, so... in other words, treat the host as the server.

What event does this? I see events for "Request Room List" and "Request Game Instance List" but nothing of the sort "Request Peer List"

Personally I'd make a list myself, as an array, or preferably as a Json (personal taste), and then send it back and forth when something relevant triggers it to be resent to every peer.

I have solved it by myself. What I found comfortable was to simply test if the person the message was coming from was already mapped out, and if so than tweened them correctly, but if not than created a player at that position. If you did not get a message matching a character for ~5 seconds, than they were removed.
