Okay, my game Halo Chronicals is being updated. My only issue is that it has an online mode. How do I make it so that I can get other people showing on your screen? (Yes, it's a center screen platformer. Need example? Mario.) PLEASE HELP!

It's extremely hard. Only the absolute best can even attempt it.
And it's going to be laggy. Very laggy.

First of all, THAT WAS FAST! And it is really crucial to the game, so I should find a way to simplify it… Welp, TIME TO GET TO WORK!

yayyayyay

It's not really that hard, but it's a fair amount of work, and it is very laggy. It wouldn't work very well for a platformer. I could still show you the scripts, though, if you want.

Use cloud variables

For player one they would be player1x and player1y
For player two they would be player2x and player 2y

Yes, that's what you would do, but, as said before, it would be VERY laggy. It can take up to a few seconds for cloud data to update, which is not good for an online game, especially a platformer.

Sure. Probably going to make a different project.

The idea isn't that difficult but the implementation, as has been suggested, is unlikely to work very well. Essentially each player has ‘real world’ x and y coordinates which tell you where they appear in ‘real world’ terms. Your local values of scrollX and scrollY have to be applied to those ‘real world’ coordinates to decide where/whether they appear in your screen coordinates.

That would work, but my only problem is the lag. How can I fix that?
