Fixing the timer and end game

The last thing we need to adjust for multiplayer is the timer that times our run and the end of the game, stopping the entity spawners and showing the game-over menu. So, let’s get started on this last effort.

Synchronizing the timer

To synchronize the score timer, we simply have to do the following three things:

1. Add MultiplayerSynchronizer to the main.tscn scene.

Figure 11.26 – The Main scene tree after adding MultiplayerSynchronizer

2. Synchronize the _time property of the Main node.

Figure 11.27 – The Replication panel tracking the _time property of the Main node

3. Now, disable the _process() function from within _ready() if we are not running on the server:

   func _ready():
      # Other code
      if not multiplayer.is_server():
         set_process(false)

That is all we need to do synchronize...
