### Complex Multiplayer Dynamics Player actions can affect:


👤 The player only
👥 The player's team
👥 👥 👥 All players

### Victory & Defeat Now teams or individual players may trigger a victory or defeat. All players can also win together. New camera animations can be used to make the end game sequence look more polished. {% endtab %} {% tab title="Creators" %} ### New [Team Variable](https://docs.sandbox.game/en/creator/docs/game-rules#how-variables-are-applied)


Design complex multiplayer mechanics with a combination of global, team, and player variables.	GM 0.11 Rules System variable types.png
Display variables on the HUD to help players cooperate, compete, and reach individual goals.	GM 0.11 Team Variable HUD examples.webp

{% hint style="info" %} The **local variable (L)** has been renamed to the **player variable (P)**. {% endhint %} {% hint style="success" %} #### Use Cases :new:[#multiplayer-use-cases-for-variables](https://docs.sandbox.game/en/creator/creative-guides/game-rules-guide#multiplayer-use-cases-for-variables "mention") - Team variables are a game changer. See this resource about using different variable types in multiplayer Experiences. {% endhint %} *** ### [#send-message](https://docs.sandbox.game/en/creator/docs/game-rules/events#send-message "mention") Rule: New Broadcast Types Send a message to a specified target from Rules using the **Send Message** rule. In addition to sending to **All**, **Rules**, **Specific Tags**, and **Objectives**:


Triggering Actors affects individual players.	GM 0.11 Send Message broadcast type test.webp
Team can affect a triggering team or specified team.	GM 0.11 team variables scores.png

{% hint style="info" %} The **Send Message** rule is now in the **Events** category with added broadcast types. {% endhint %} {% hint style="success" %} #### Use Cases Broadcast a message to a precise target from Rules for new creative possibilities. :up: Level up players or teams based on their actions (e.g., keypress, points, etc.) :scales: Balance difficulty based on player performance :star2: Reward MVPs with VFX, PowerUps, etc :exclamation: Direct messages to quests based on ruleset criteria (variable values, key inputs, timers, etc) for different variable types (see [Quests](#quests) below for use cases) {% endhint %} ### [Send Message to \[SP\] Actors](https://docs.sandbox.game/en/creator/docs/game-rules/events#send-message-to-sp-actors)



A unique new rule allows you to optimize Experiences by sending data from Rules to [SP] actors, or objects.

### Team Victory & Defeat #### [Victory](https://docs.sandbox.game/en/creator/game-maker/docs/components/gameplay/victory) Component New Victory Types allow you to trigger a victory for all players, teams, or individual players. You can also toggle on or off a new camera animation to play when triggered. #### [Defeat](https://docs.sandbox.game/en/creator/game-maker/docs/components/gameplay/defeat) Component A new Team Defeat toggle allows you to differentiate between player or team defeat. You can also toggle on or off a new camera animation to play when triggered. {% endtab %} {% endtabs %} ### Ranking / Leaderboards {% tabs %} {% tab title="Players" %} ### Reach for the Top Compete with your friends and compare your results against the :trophy: **Top 100 global players**.

Experience Page (Top 100) - Viewed at Sandbox.game

{% endtab %} {% tab title="Creators" %} ### [Ranking](https://docs.sandbox.game/en/creator/docs/game-rules#multiplayer-ranking)


🔢 Results Screen (Game Client)	Display player results of up to three time, number, or decimal variables when victory or defeat is triggered.
🌐 Global Ranking (Website)	Display a ranking of the top 100 players globally on your experience-page.

{% hint style="warning" %} **NO DATE FILTER FOR GLOBAL RANKINGS... YET!**\ Take a snapshot of global rankings at the end of your events for accurate data. {% endhint %} {% hint style="success" %} #### Use Cases * **Local ranking** is a great way to add polish and provide rewarding closure for multiplayer game sessions. Try it with races, resource management, survival, and more! * **Global ranking** is an excellent tool to boost ***replay value*** on Experiences and build your player community through competition and contests. {% endhint %} {% endtab %} {% endtabs %} ### Quests {% tabs %} {% tab title="Players" %} ### Quests in Multiplayer Games Behind the scenes, a lot more is possible for creators to build more interesting quests you'll enjoy. For now, the UI looks and feels the same for the player and the creator, but your actions could trigger quests differently depending on the gameplay design. These are only a few options now that Objectives are easier to integrate with other logic, like game mechanics: * All players need to collect a certain amount of resources together * Your team must divide and conquer to gather information to solve a puzzle * You're choosing your own adventure in an open multiplayer world

{% endtab %} {% tab title="Creators" %} ### Multiplayer Compatible [Objectives](https://docs.sandbox.game/en/creator/game-maker/docs/objectives) The **Objectives** system has been recoded for multiplayer compatibility. A few parameters changed to avoid conflicts and streamline the system. Quest types and UI are nearly identical. {% hint style="info" %} You may continue using the legacy **Objectives** system until it is deprecated. {% endhint %} There are many new creative possibilities to complete quests on your own, with a team, or with all other players in an Experience. More **Objectives** system updates are in development to make these gameplays even easier to build in the future. {% hint style="warning" %} **PLAYER SOURCE REQUIRED** In multiplayer Experiences, a message sent to **Objectives** must include a [**player source**](https://docs.sandbox.game/en/creator/docs/game-rules#player-and-team-variable-data) to trigger quest changes for each correct player. Player, team, and global variable data can lead to quest changes as long as *each relevant player's actions* trigger any messages sent to Objectives (e.g., interact, detect, etc). {% endhint %} {% hint style="danger" %} **\[SP]** behaviours and components will not trigger quests correctly in multiplayer. {% endhint %} {% hint style="success" %} #### Use Cases * Multiplayer Social Hub - Quest available for one player * Multiplayer Cooperative - Quest available for all players * Multiplayer Competitive (Teams) - Quest available for all teammates See [#multiplayer-compatible-quests-0.11](https://docs.sandbox.game/en/creator/creative-guides/logic-guide/text-quests-and-icons#multiplayer-compatible-quests-0.11 "mention") for potential logic per use case. See [#multiplayer-use-cases-for-variables](https://docs.sandbox.game/en/creator/creative-guides/game-rules-guide#multiplayer-use-cases-for-variables "mention") for data that could be used to trigger quests with additional logic. {% endhint %} {% endtab %} {% tab title="Upgrade Guide" %} {% hint style="danger" %} Visit the [0.11-upgrade-guide](https://docs.sandbox.game/en/creator/game-maker/version-notes-and-changelogs/game-maker-0.11/0.11-upgrade-guide "mention") for guided steps to update existing quests. {% endhint %} When you open Objectives in an Experience built before Game Maker 0.11, you will be prompted to migrate your Objectives to the new system. Migration is optional. A side panel will offer guidance for what needs modification in your existing quests' setup to make them compatible with the new system. {% hint style="info" %} If you accidentally migrate Objectives, you can exit the Experience before saving. {% endhint %}

{% endtab %} {% endtabs %} ## :bust\_in\_silhouette: SINGLEPLAYER & :busts\_in\_silhouette: MULTIPLAYER GAMEPLAY ### Rotation & Codes {% tabs %} {% tab title="Players" %} ### **Leap into Action** Enjoy varied platformer challenges and more interactive decorations with a new rotate movement.


Objects may spin or rotate in any direction.	GM 0.11 Rotate beh.png
This feature improves collisions for more immersive, varied gameplay.	gm 0.11 rotate beh opt.webp

3-6 numbers or letters could be the key to opening a door, starting a new quest, or making a way for your escape!	GM 0.11 Combination Code beh.png
Type or use 🔼 or 🔽 to set a slot's number or letter to enter a code. It's up to the creator how many tries you may get!	GM 0.11 combination code beh opt.webp

{% endtab %} {% tab title="Creators" %} ### :new: [**Combination Code**](https://docs.sandbox.game/en/creator/game-maker/docs/behaviours/basic-logic/combination-code) **Behaviour** Players enter a code, which can trigger a success or fail message.


	GM Combination Code beh screen.png
Set up alphanumeric codes (3-6 characters) for players to enter for puzzles, quizzes, etc. Add 70-80 characters of display text for hints or instructions

{% hint style="success" %} #### Use Cases * Make codes discoverable in game or share them with your player community to unlock gameplay secrets, perks, and more. * Build a fail-safe into your game using Rules so players can't access full game features if they guess codes too many times. {% endhint %} ### :new: [**Rotate**](https://docs.sandbox.game/en/creator/game-maker/docs/behaviours/movement/rotate) **Behaviour** Choose between two rotation types to apply to objects.


	GM Rotate beh rotation type sm.gif
Rotate ↪️ or ↩️ on the X, Y, or Z axis Rotate Around Moves the asset around an offset point Rotate Actor Rotates the asset about its pivot point

{% hint style="success" %} #### Use Cases * Design a better ramp of difficulty in platformers with new movement logic * For better collisions, use rotate logic on static assets instead of making animated assets * Emphasise collectables, PowerUps, or art with actor rotation {% endhint %} {% endtab %} {% endtabs %} ### Spawning {% tabs %} {% tab title="Players" %} ### Spawn into New Roles Enter **singleplayer** and **multiplayer** games with ***multiple custom avatars*** provided by creators. Spawn points include even more logic and settings to customise the player experience, with smart ways to detect and trigger gameplay interactions.

Spawn Point behaviour can now assign a custom avatar to players who spawn into them when they join an instance.

Custom Input Configurations may also be adjusted in the Avatar's Feature.

{% hint style="warning" %} **CUSTOM AVATARS & MOVEMENT PALETTES** Older assets may not include **Edge Recovery** animations when using the new 0.11 default [**Movement Palette**](#movement-palettes). Always playtest custom avatars carefully for every animation needed. {% endhint %} {% hint style="info" %} Custom avatar and inputs were global settings applied in the **Player** menu (deprecated). {% endhint %} {% hint style="success" %} ### Use Cases * Singleplayer or Cooperative RPGs with "soft" character classes (e.g., mage, warrior, etc.) * Singleplayer role-dependent branching narratives (player tags trigger unique logic) * Team-based avatars and [**concept-first**](https://docs.sandbox.game/en/creator/creative-guides/experience-design-techniques/narrative-design/worldbuilding#concept-first-worldbuilding) games (e.g., players as racecars, spaceships, etc.) {% endhint %} ### Spawn Point: [Avatar's Feature](https://docs.sandbox.game/en/creator/docs/behaviours/basic-logic/spawn-point-and-avatars-feature#avatars-feature-components) (Components) Add and customise [trigger-volume](https://docs.sandbox.game/en/creator/game-maker/docs/components/triggers/trigger-volume "mention") and [raycast](https://docs.sandbox.game/en/creator/game-maker/docs/components/gameplay/raycast "mention") components by spawn point.


	GM 0.11 avatars running with gizmos.png
Now the power of precise detection and response with targeted messaging can be applied to the player's avatar. Note: See updates to raycast component parameters.

**Technical Notes** Raycast detects in a straight line. Trigger Volume detects within a 3D space.


Hit/Detect Nearby:	Teammates or opponents Specific objects Players and/or objects (via tags)	Spawn Point GM 0.11 Avatars Feature raycast trigger volume.png
Respond (send a targeted message):	Teammates or opponents Specific objects Any player or object hit/detected All objects, systems, and players Rules or Objectives systems The player (with the feature applied)

{% hint style="success" %} ### Use Cases **Design "Soft" Character Classes**\ Players may take on a role via Spawn Point settings and other logic where **PowerUps** can be triggered based on their proximity to a target. * **Soothing Healer -** Detect teammates, add to their **Health** * **Intimidating Mage -** Detect enemies mid range, reduce their **Damage Resistance** * **Mad Berserker -** Detect enemies up close, boost your **Attack Power** *** **Rules Integration**\ Design rulesets to modify variable values based on player proximity to other players or objects, tracking data such as time. * **Capture the Flag**\ Calculate time near a "flag" to award an achievement, display as a progress bar in the HUD, final result in Ranking (use Trigger Volume messages to control a timer variable) * **Treasure Hunt/Spot the Difference**\ Count tagged items spotted (using Raycast) {% endhint %} {% endtab %} {% endtabs %} ### Player HUD Style & Colors {% tabs %} {% tab title="Player" %} ### Take Cues From a More Dynamic HUD Enjoy new HUD formats and get useful cues to solve problems, manage resources, and more.

{% endtab %} {% tab title="Creator" %} ### New [#hud](https://docs.sandbox.game/en/creator/docs/game-rules/game-screen#hud "mention") Customisations HUD rule updates include slot shape and color settings. Use other rules to trigger HUD slots to change dynamically as players need hints or warnings related to variable values. Two HUD **Slot Styles**: Diamond or Square

Four Value States to choose from:

Normal (blue)
Positive (green)
Warning (yellow)
Critical (red) - can be animated to pulse

{% hint style="success" %} ### Use Cases * Customise HUD slot colours for different game appearances and improved visibility on different sky/terrain backgrounds. * Dynamically update slot colours with criteria set by other rules to alert players when to take action (e.g., check if number in range). Animate Critical to pulse red. {% endhint %} {% endtab %} {% endtabs %} ### 3Cs: Camera, Controls & Character {% tabs %} {% tab title="Player" %} ### Experience a Better Look & Feel Many built-in improvements make gameplay more immersive. #### Custom Game Feel Creators can optimize game types with new Movement Palettes. The default palette includes:


Edge Recovery	Reach a bit higher and breathe a sigh of relief when your avatar makes long jumps	GM 0.11 Edge recovery default movement palette.webp

{% endtab %} {% tab title="Creator" %} ### [Movement Palettes](https://docs.sandbox.game/en/creator/docs/build-menus/top-bar/gameplay#movement-palette) Foundational improvements have been made to control the way avatars move and can be controlled. {% hint style="danger" %} See the [0.11-upgrade-guide](https://docs.sandbox.game/en/creator/game-maker/version-notes-and-changelogs/game-maker-0.11/0.11-upgrade-guide "mention") for key updates to adapt to, including new default jump height and distances. {% endhint %}


	GM 0.11 3Cs movement palettes.png
Choose a movement palette in the Gameplay menu so animations, camera, and controls look and feel their best for the game type you're creating. This release improves competitive platforming with a new Default palette.

{% hint style="info" %} **RETROCOMPATIBILITY** The **Legacy** palette is automatically applied to preserve physics in older Experiences. {% endhint %} {% hint style="warning" %} **MIGRATION** To enable **Coyote Time** and **Edge Recovery** in an older Experience, select the [**Default**](https://docs.sandbox.game/en/creator/docs/build-menus/top-bar/gameplay#default) palette and adapt your Experience as needed to suit the changes in controls and camera responsiveness. {% endhint %} {% hint style="warning" %} **CUSTOM AVATARS & MOVEMENT PALETTES** Older assets may not include **Edge Recovery** animations when using the new 0.11 default [**Movement Palette**](#movement-palettes). Always playtest custom avatars carefully for every animation needed. {% endhint %} ### [#key-input](https://docs.sandbox.game/en/creator/docs/game-rules/triggers#key-input "mention") & [#mouse-input](https://docs.sandbox.game/en/creator/docs/game-rules/triggers#mouse-input "mention") Rules: Bind/Unbind, Description Bind and unbind key and mouse inputs to vary control use throughout an Experience.

{% hint style="success" %} #### Use Cases * Enhance mazes and puzzles by taking advantage of camera occlusion * Expertly time dramatic moments by spacing platforms carefully to trigger edge recovery * Design competitive vertical free fall challenges to gain points, PowerUps, and more * Design dynamic control activation/deactivation to suit gameplay needs {% endhint %} {% endtab %} {% endtabs %} ### Multiplayer NPCs {% tabs %} {% tab title="Players" %} ### Interact with Friendly Characters that Walk & Flee New Friendly NPCs may walk and flee from certain objects or players in multiplayer Experiences.

{% endtab %} {% tab title="Creators" %} ### [friendly-npc](https://docs.sandbox.game/en/creator/game-maker/docs/behaviours/npc-ai-pawns/friendly-npc "mention") Behaviour & Modules Build multiplayer Experiences with responsive **Friendly NPCs** with **walk** and **flee** modules.

{% hint style="info" %} More Friendly NPC modules are in development, as is an Enemy NPC and its modules. {% endhint %} {% hint style="info" %} In singleplayer Experiences, legacy NPCs and new NPC behaviors may be used. Legacy NPCs: Citizen, Farmer, Healer, Melee Enemy, Predator, Prey, and Soldier. {% endhint %} {% endtab %} {% endtabs %} ### Raycast, Tags, Light, NFT Sensor {% tabs %} {% tab title="Player" %} ### Enjoy More Precise, Dynamic Gameplay A few small updates can go a long way for gameplay that is more polished and reactive: * An object's purpose or status may change one moment and trigger different interactions * Detection logic may be more sophisticated * You may need to equip an avatar or equipment NFT to unlock gameplay, not just own it * Light may be used differently, especially around players

{% endtab %} {% tab title="Creator" %} ### [**Actor Property Switcher**](https://docs.sandbox.game/en/creator/game-maker/docs/behaviours/modifiers/actor-property-switcher) **Behaviour** Add or remove tags from target objects during gameplay. ### [**Raycast**](https://docs.sandbox.game/en/creator/game-maker/docs/components/gameplay/raycast) **Component** More parameters for precision raycasting. * Activation on start * Ray should stop on any target * Disable on target hit: delay between broadcasts to start over in case of disable off * Attachable to the player * Multiple targets ### [**NFT Sensor**](https://docs.sandbox.game/en/creator/game-maker/docs/components/nft/nft-sensor) **Component** A new "Is Equipped" toggle can check if a required NFT is equipped to trigger the success message. ### [**Light**](https://docs.sandbox.game/en/creator/game-maker/docs/components/display/light) **Component** New Offset parameter reduces need for additional logic actors and increases use cases in Spawn Point behaviour as an Avatar’s Feature. {% endtab %} {% endtabs %} ### **Security, Performance & Polish** Netcode, memory, CPU, and graphics optimisation for reduced network issues, better performance, and faster loading times for all experiences. :rocket: More than 15% CPU and network performance improvement in multiplayer Experiences.
