Unity putting game online

Microsoft's OneDrive or Dropbox should work, as should Google Drive you didn't say if it doesn't work for you. I looked up those options, and the only thing is that Google Drive doesn't support that anymore and I've been told it can't be done with OneDrive. If you know how, can you post a walkthrough for me? I couldn't find one for uploading to OneDrive.

However, to avoid any huge difference between what is displayed by the client to the player and what is happening in the server's simulation, the client and the server "synchronize" at regular interval. For example, if you decide to move left, the client knows your move speed so it can display the movement without relying on the server. When the synchronization occurs, the server send to the client critical information and the client change any currently displayed informations with what the server send.

Whith the left movement example, if your movement speed is different on the server and on the client, when the client receives a synchronisation order, you'll notice that your player will be "teleported" from the displayed position to another. This can also occurs if some packet are lost or because of high latency. Handling lantency is a huge challenge when creating an online game both on server and client side and it's not the topic of this question.

When a user connect to you server, you can launch the game. Because your user can move, it means that there's a 2D map, that your user have a size and an initial position and a speed. So your server should start a new "GameParty" and initialize the above data.

For the example, let's assume the following defaults value are set. When a client wants to MOVE, he send a packet to the server saying he wants to move. With this, your server will know that the user wants to move to the left. If this position are on the edge of the map, you have two choice, making the user appear on the other edge of the map of forbid the action. There is an asset on the asset store called Photon that is an authoritative server. It is free too for non mobile devices.

Asked 6 years, 7 months ago. Active 4 years, 3 months ago. Viewed 32k times. I had followed one of their tutorials before. Again… plz help!! Yeah, I have the same problem, sadly. If you do find a solution, please share. I got it working. What you need to do is disable your camera and everything else. Do this in the Update and Start functions. Now that you have it so that it checks if the camera is theirs and you also have it so that all components are disabled, do the following: Enable Character Controller, your MouseLook with networkView.

Network Instantiate should be on your prefab and the main camera attacked. The if statements can be used to differentiate between the two because your main camera will not have a character controller but it will have a camera component.

Now that its enabled as soon as the prefab is instantiated, it belongs to whoever enabled it. Xirre, Sorry. I figured it out. Looked up the proper usage of GetComponent in the docs and applied it to all the disabled components in the camera.

Thanks again. I would like some help with this as well. How can I maintain camera and movement control when someone joins my game? After a few hours of hacking at it, I was able to connect to my […]. A quick notice from my side: Sorry for not replying to the questions lately, we are very busy at the moment and unable to help. I hope to have time as soon as possible to answer any remaining questions.

Thanks for the compliments and support so far! Hi can you put in that the build instance of the game must have run in background checked, so both can connect to each other.

Error if I try to download the example from your Dropbox. Can you please fix that? I just want to try your example to get an short overview over the network capabilities of Unity3D. Is there a way to stop it from doing that? Is it actually creating two servers? Could it be a server left in memory from my last multiplayer test? I had the same problem. Just change the typeName variable to something unique. Thanks for the info. That is a little scary.

I ran some code that just looked for available servers and six other servers showed up in addition to mine. I have since changed my code so it only looks for my unique server name. I believe the way RPC is done in this example doesnt carry over well to implementing something similar very well….

No one can join my game — they see its name when servers get refreshed, but when u click on it nothing happens, we tried original game — same thing. What may be the problem? Also how to change spawning player location? I tried putting transform. Nice tutorial.

I was wondering about one thing though. When I have connected more than 3 or 4 players, the cube flies off the screen for some reason. Have you tested using 4 players? I think my problem is related. So at 0 second, any other players joining to the server, will have all the other boxes along with his own at the origin in this case, at 0, 5, 0. Spawning at the origin is not the problem, I think.

The problem is, sync-ing other cubes always starts from the origin, instead of immediately taking their real current position. Whatever I change it to changing to transform. When a load another scene my player dont spawn. I used DontDestroyOnLoad but dont works. How to fix this mans? This tutorial uses the Master Server run by Unity which … maybe up … or maybe not. But you can download and run your own Master Server locally. Then in NetworkManager. This hung me up the first time I tried to run this, otherwise great tutorial!

This is a great tutorial! I have one question though, for some reason when I try the movement interpolation, you cannot see the other players moving. The other play will then remain to not move until you look away and look back again somewhat like slender.

I do not have any sort of script that is checking whether the player is looking at another player or not, so that cannot be the problem.

Hi there, nice tutorial. Can someone help me? Please help. If you did add this, could you explain your problem with more detail? Does a player only move the other character or both of them? I was able to get the players connected and spawning, and could see them both moving, until I got to the State Synchronization section. Run in background is on. The Player Prefab-script component is set in Observed. Only trying with 2 players. Tried running 1 client in the unity editor, also tried both clients as stand-alone builds.

This is all before the Interpolation section. As soon as I implement the State Synchronization section changes with rigidbody2D, the players stop updating. Because it sounds that is where it went wrong. Hi Steven, I had the same problem.

Change rigidbody. It works. Does anyone know how to implement this in 2D? Does anyone know what i can change in this line to make it work in 2D? Thank you so much! Excellent tutorial, I was looking for how to do Interpolation, and this worked perfectly. Can anyone help me? I can join my own server from the build and Unity editor, but when i send it to a friend, they see the server but cant join it. Yea I would appreciate any help in regards to other people joining this server from non-LAN environment.

When I put the player control script component in the observed slot I no longer get the updated position of the p. Do you know how can i workaround this? If you cant drag and drop the player script to the network view component you can set it in the player script.

When the players cube goes off the edge, after falling passed in Y I would like to destroy the player the spawn again. I added the folowing in the if test to the Update method in the NetworkManager:. I plan to make a rock-paper-scissor game. What I want to know is how can I get the other layer input key so I can determine who the winner is? Anyway, great tutorial. This is amazing!

Thank you! Whenever player 2 joins player 1 and player 2 swap controls. I am controlling my friends character on his screen and he has control of my screen. Has anyone ran into this?? Hi, I have followed your tutorial but what I am finding is when I connect a 3rd instance, it can only see the server player gameobject and not player 2 gameobject?
