Hey ! Thank you for making all these tutorials for us! it's helping quite a lot. I was wondering if you can make a video about Client Side prediction and Client Reconciliation?

@DapperDinoCodingTutorials Жыл бұрын

It will be covered in varying degrees of complexity throughout the tutorials. Technically here we predict when selecting a character as we update the UI locally before sending the RPC to the server to change character as to not feel the latency. If you're referring specifically to movement prediction then it gets a lot more complex and I still need to learn more on that before I'm comfortable teaching it. (I think Unity's roadmap suggests that they are working on making it easier to implement prediction and lag compensation at some point in the future)

Hey there, this is a nice video so far. I do have a couple of small questions before I continue on with the video. How is this character select screen going to connect to the main menu? How can you take off the main menu screen to create your character select screen without deleting the main menu screen?

Hey i've completed the entire series and added additional things such as creating public or private lobbies and specifying the amount of player per lobby, however one thing i'm slaving my head over is trying to add inputted player names from the MainMenu and have them show in the lobby, if anyone knows anything on how to do this it would be much appreciated.

what is the difference between Mirror and NGO for you and why are you not doing Mirror now, but doing NGO

@DapperDinoCodingTutorials Жыл бұрын

There are 2 main reasons for me, 1. I prefer official solutions usually over 3rd party 2. It means that when I want to use UGS for matchmaking, server hosting, etc... It's all designed to work with Unity (mainly) which makes it easier to integrate and easier to get help if needed as it's their own solution and services. Hope this helps you understand why I made this choice. These are my main reasons though I'm sure I could think of more with more time :D

nvm I got it: for any one else. After I instantiated the prefab, I was calling .SetCharacter() on the prefab its self, not the instance. thats why.

Since we're working with an integer which is a value type not a reference type, we can't use null. The standard way of having an invalid id is to default it to -1

@ewaldschulte6529 11 ай бұрын

Don't getg me wrong, I am thankful for your tutorials asnd your work, but the trouble setting up the project to start with (I'm not talking about the multiplayer template you mentioned - I created that, but that's just half of the story, since you completely chasnged the gameplay scene and just rushed through it in a few secs) is a really unnecessary downer :( I understand that you don't want to waste time with it - me neither, since that's not wshere the focus is here - but why not sharing the project at the beginning of this tutorial and one in its final state? So that we can simply start off together? It could be so easy....

@ewaldschulte6529 11 ай бұрын

The Gameplay scene on GitHub looks totally different than what you are showing at the beginning so it's kind of useless for the start. It's a shame when such high quality content is "shadowed" by annoying drawbacks like this :(

@alkaline3mc 7 ай бұрын

It really doesn't help that you setup all your UI stuff off camera. Because when you get to the end and need to be associating all those scripts with all those components there isn't a clear link that has been established regarding what subcomponents of what prefabs consist of.
