Multiplayer call function locally

[tiny heath]

On my player script I have onDeath local function, and I have the peerId of the killer. How can I call the local function onKill on the killer?

[granite hearth]

onKill.rpc_id(killer_peer_id)

but you should make onKill an rpc method with the call_local property. Check this page : https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/tutorials/networking/high_level_multiplayer.html

that isn't working, it says its not the authority, and isn't called on the player (resulting errors from my code):

@rpc("call_local")
func onKill():
    print(is_multiplayer_authority()) # false

[granite hearth]

are all the players clients ? Or is one of them the server ?

[tiny heath]

The server is also a player

wait, I'm an idiot, you don't need the "call_local" if it's always called from an other player

just make it a basic rpc function

technically, nothing requires the onKill method to be local so if it's a basic rpc method that you call from the killed player, everything should work fine

FYI, depending on the competitiveness of what you are building and client-side authority, it'll be important to still validate the interactions to reduce the chance of cheating.

so can you recap, how should the function look and called?

I want to do local stuff on the player like animationss etc

For example, I want to call am animation on kill and it's locally.
