How do I make a network?
I know this question sounds rreeallyyy stupid but I don't think the unity documentation has enough info on this subject. I have been working forever and I cannot get a network to work for the life of me. I have managed a connection, but I dont get how to create objects across the network and have different players moving around. Any help?
The first thing to remember is that, for any object to be synchronised over the network it needs to have a NetworkView attached to it. Once you have that, there are a few ways to go about object synchronisation, from the most straightforward (using the NetworkView to observe an object's transform) to more complicated solutions, such as writing a script which sends target positions in Network.OnSerializeNetworkView, and then using (networkView.isMine) to check whether the current user is authoritative or not, and interpolating towards the target positions. This solution creates a small amount of latency between the authoritative player and everyone else, but has a very smooth result.
To start with, use Network.Instantiate to instantiate a prefab (just make sure it only happens on one computer!) and see how far you get.
