In Server/Client connections the assigned authority ID given with the "multiplayer.connected" signal is not synced between both parties.

Using Godot 4.3 Stable

With the "multiplayer.connected" signal, the id given is not synced when using Matcha.

ENet example for control, how it should work:

func join():
	var enet = ENetMultiplayerPeer.new()
	enet.create_client("lobalhost",135)
	multiplayer_multiplayer_peer = enet
	
	print(multiplayer.get_unique_id())		 # Hypothetically prints 80498123

func host():
	var enet = ENetMultiplayerPeer.new()
	enet.create_server(135)
	multiplayer_multiplayer_peer = enet

	multiplayer.peer_connected.connect(func(id):
		print(id)		 # Would print 80498123, synced with the client
	)

How it is currently behaving:

func join():
	var room = MatchaRoom.create_client_room( [HOST ID HERE] )
	multiplayer_multiplayer_peer = room
	
	print(multiplayer.get_unique_id())		 # Hypothetically prints 58129612

func host():
	var room = MatchaRoom.create_server_room()
	multiplayer_multiplayer_peer = room

	multiplayer.peer_connected.connect(func(id):
		print(id)		 # Hypothetically prints 91286332, NOT synced with client.
	)

I have replicated this issue and it is present in an example project.

Did not mean to close this, it is still an issue. I checked and it occurs in 4.2 as well, not just 4.3

I solved this on one of my projects, but it was using an old version of matcha(I don't remember which commit). It was also spamming errors, I don't remember if I fixed that.

I created a branch and copied changes from my project, feel free to have a look: https://github.com/masterthdev/godot-matcha/tree/sync-peer-ids

Im currently at vacation. I take a look when im back. Sorry.

Late reply, but this works without a hitch on 4.3 stable, thanks

This fix can also work for mesh rooms with some tweaking. I don't know a lot about networking so there might be a cleaner solution, but I changed _on_got_offer() to create a new offer_peer if the offer_id doesn't match the answerer's rpc_id. Then the other peer creates the answer peer since the offer id matches. I also had to change Utils.gen_id() to take in an optional rpc_id, which it would use instead of the peer_id masterthdev added.

edit: still have an issue where it sometimes doesn't seem to answer offers correctly
