DOWNLOAD

Info:
What you'll learn
Create multiplayer games and connect Unity created applications over a network.
Understand the different roles played by servers and clients in a network.
Be able to use remote procedure calls to synchronise player-character states in a networked game.

In this course, Penny will take you from the very basics of creating a simple client/server game environment using Unity's UNET system right through to creating and managing a lobby system. The topics covered are the ones that most frequently appear on the forums and that many people struggle in understanding. The course is practical with many step-by-step exercises. Students of this course will learn about the UNET Network Manager and how to use message sending to synchronise rigid body movement and animation of player characters. Overriding the Network Manager will also be covered to allow developers to create customised network functionality such as changing player characters while playing, shooting projectiles and managing player characteristics such as health.

Topics covered include:

network configurations

IP addresses

hosting

remote procedure calls

syncing rigidbody movement

syncing animation states

playing with different player-characters

changing player-characters while connected

setting up the Unity Lobby asset

syncing variable values across scenes

setting up Unity Match Making services

Developed in Unity 5, this course remains relevant for versions 2017 and up to 2018.2 with Unity's Networking API. Note that although the API is now discontinued in Unity 2020, Penny has provided you with project starter files that allow you to work with the HLAPI in 2020.
