Thank you so much for these tutorials! Networking tutorials are rare but so important.

Loving these tutorials, you make it seem so simple even we can do some networking now. Would love to see how to instantiate and destroying objects.

Love this series already. I can’t for a video showing how to use it with Steam.

This is very cool, because after getting the principle of Client/Server Side data sync, the sky is the limit, always incredibly didactic, thanks for the video. My next request would be syncing data in projectiles, (assuming there will be a lot of players and projectiles are costly in terms of size of data to send back and forward).

Thanks! It doesn't seem that hard and actually looks like it's enjoyable to work with.

Great video as always! I'm having some trouble connecting to a friend that is on a different network. A tutorial on this would be awesome! Keep up the good work.

Hi, amazing Vid, keep up the great work! And would you suggest to use NetworkVariables for shooting or what should been used for that? Would love to see a Tutorial about it

I absolutely love your videos, very informative, and there is a lot of content. I’m new to C# and unity and networking as a whole. I’m trying to make a simple 2 player online game. Any recommendations on which series to watch? Your mlapi or mirror ones?

Hi Dapper, I love your tutorials regarding multiplayer. Can you try for voice sync and lobby with MLAPI?

Great work! I Really love your tutorials. Besides explaining very clearly, I love how expressive the names for your variables are. There is nearly no need for commenting the code! Can you maybe do a tutorial on how to measure and debug the traffic that goes across the network? Currently I am facing an issue, where I spawn two players in the scene and share their transforms with a NetworkTransform. On the Host it is working all fine, but on the Client I am experiencing a very high lag. Both instances run on the same computer. Surely I have some very inefficient code, but I have not idea on how to find out, where all the communication happens that leads to the lag. Alternatively, i would love to see how you have done your character controller for your WizardsInTraining game. Especially the synching of the rotation of the players, since this might change and needs to be updated every frame.

This definitely takes some getting used to, but it's a lot less boilerplate than having to do all of it yourself every single time.

Definitely gotta do a tutorial on their NetworkList

Awesome tutorials! Just what i was looking for. I'm having trouble figuring out how to have a Spawner that spawns enemies which can then be killed by the players, and all of this replicated properly on all clients. Any tips or tutorials you could offer or something you might cover in the future? Thanks!

Oh. A new tutorial. Finally some good f'in code

finally someone using bytes in network methods xD

Can you please create a video about foot placement using Animation Rigging

Thanks for the tutorial? Could you do a video on a Tickbased (and/or turnbased) asynchronous game? Where each tick is like 1-3 seconds and the server broadcasts the game state every tick for the clients to simulate (movement, actions, etc.)?

I’m trying to show a list of joined players. In the lobby but strugling a bit. I’m also curious in switching scènes and assigning player prefabs.

Please make a tutorial of Unity MLAPI with Photon realtime transport and hosting it.

First of all, thanks for your tutorials, you are amazing. I have a question. I am making an android game but to create a server build I have to switch to pc, which messes up all my project. I tried to follow your playfab & mirror tutorial but I faced this problem. Is there a way to solve it? Can I make a server build with a separate project that has nothing to do with my game?

Can you write a motion controller actor with a prediction? Or maybe there is a standard built-in engine?

Can you make a unity tutorial on volumetric raymarching?

will you be making a udemy tutorial series on MLAPI?

liked it first, than watched it

Will this work to transfer realtime player positions? I mean while they are moving you send the position like that and others recive it to see where is the player moving

Hi, thanks for the video. Old Unity user here, didn't the MLAPI die? Do they update it and is it usable for a real project, without needing Photon etc.?

This is local network or sever based network which everyone can join?

This all works nice and well, but this project is using a local server (only accesed by your own device) Any help on how to switch it to multiple devices and stuff?

Hey Dapper any chance of a basic tutorial on networking basic terrain that is generated at runtime? I think it would require an array of terrain heights combined with a client side painter that paints based on Mesh angles and height. BTW thanks for the videos.

Hello Dino, really nice tutorials! :) I was wondering if you could help me real quick, I'm getting the "ConnectedClients should only be accessed on server" error when changing color on my charater as the client. However, the particle scripts works on both server and client. Let me know if you have any ideas! cheers

How would I go about making a variable that only the host can change? I tried using the IsHost boolean in the TeamPlayer script but it only then it only updates the variable for the host instead of only letting the host update the variable. I originally tried on my TeamPicker script but it won't allow me to have MLAPI.Connections and MLAPI.Messaging on the same script. Any work arounds?

Will this work on android devices too can i connect two android devices using hotspot will it be synced in android too?

Is this still relevant with NetCode? I can see that NetworkVariable is in a different namespace.

Hey man, can you answer something for me please? I'm trying to play an fps game that's already finished by me with my family. Now I only have two pcs, so I want to find a way to have two players on each pc. Is this possible?

I'm a very early beginner with multiplayer so sorry if my question is stupid, how do you use rigidbody in multiplayer ? How to sync the movement of 2 objects falling and colliding ?

Mirror or MLAPI ?

Any idea where the "NetworkVariableSettings" went in 1.0.0?

Next mirror video when?

an AI responds to how it thinks your code works: The TeamPlayer class derives from the NetworkBehaviour class, which is provided by Unity Netcode and allows this component to interact with the network. It has a serialized field teamColourRenderer that references a renderer component attached to the same game object, and an array of colors called teamColours. It also has a NetworkVariable called teamIndex of type byte, which is used to store the team index of the game object over the network. The TeamPlayer class has a method called SetTeamServerRpc, which is marked with the [ServerRpc] attribute. This indicates that it is a remote procedure call (RPC) that can be invoked by clients, but will only be executed on the server. The RPC sets the value of the teamIndex NetworkVariable to the value of the newTeamIndex parameter, but only if the value is less than or equal to 3. The TeamPlayer class also has an OnEnable and OnDisable method, which are Unity messages that are called when the component is enabled or disabled. In these methods, the OnTeamChanged method is registered or unregistered as a delegate for the OnValueChanged event of the teamIndex NetworkVariable. Finally, the OnTeamChanged method is called when the value of the teamIndex NetworkVariable changes. It updates the color of the teamColourRenderer based on the new team index. However, this is only done on the client, as indicated by the check for IsClient. tell me what you think

Shooting mechanism?

Having an issue with updating sprite renderer for 2D game, code is virtually the same besides targeting sprite renderer instead of Renderer but I'm getting an error saying the function should only be called by the server, not connected clients, any thoughts? Thanks... works fine for host but clients aren't updating/getting an error, also doesn't sync on re-entering game

hi , i searched a lot to find out what this "-= " does in your scripts,i know what it does with ints and floats but you used that between voids, i'll be thanks full if u help me with this :)

when i join from 3 build and I leave the host then the third players panel didnt updates

Hey Dapper Dino

How about saving data on the server?

Can i also change player's movement and it will sync with everyone else?

can i create a multiplayer 2D game just like a 3D game? With the new unity multiplayer

what means subscribing and unsubscribing beacause i dont get this part

whats with the other patrons, no thanks?

I know it's not important here but wouldn't it work if the team colours were a ScriptableObject instance? So, no need to copy the list of colours and make sure they are identical and also no need to hardcode the maximum index.

why do you do your if statements backwards? you always return after them, why not just plop the logic inside the ifs?

Didn't work. If I change the variable, then a client connects, the client doesn't see the new variable. Anyone else have this problem? Edit: I got it, by subscribing to the event in Start() and not unsubuscribing. I look forward to seeing what future hidden errors I have caused myself by doing this
