Dude it's actually unbelievable how much content and variety you can put out on your channel. It's all very high quality too. I hope you can also get some rest so to not suffer burnout ❤
Thanks for the super thanks! heh don't worry, I do work a bit too much but not enough to burnout, I definitely plan to keep doing this for a very very long time!
I remember learning to create multiplayer in school few years ago. It was quite difficult. Really glad to see that its this easy now! I will be adding multiplayer to my own game too, when it is closer to being done.
That's just impressive, gamedev tools really have evolved a lot throughout the years, now haven't they? Sometimes I feel a bit guilty for skipping so many complex problems that took many years and teams to be solved, but at the same time, we *must* use these if they are available, as it saves literally years of development time lol
Yeah why not. If they help me make games and in the future create a game dev company or atleast a big name for myself, why wouldn’t I use these? Games like super Mario galaxy would never be created in the 1940s because they didn’t have enough tools. But we do, so why not use them to create even better games? We make childhoods and, at the same time, we make money. Win win
truly impressive what netcode for gameobjects is able to do, but just as impressive is the depth of knowledge you have behind it to be able to implement multiplayer in just 1 day. Great videos keep it up!
Wow so awesome! As always, great video! If possible, make more videos on this topic! I would watch everything!! :) I thought multiplayer was basically impossible for an indie dev like me!
This is a good summary for a basic multiplayer foundation. I would not call this multiplayer until you can connect to friends via steam or googlePlay and play a multiplayer game. Still great content, thank you!
Sure I could work on it for 30 minutes more and implement the Lobby and Relay that I've used previously, just with that it would be fully online unitycodemonkey.com/video.php?v=-KDlEBfCBiU unitycodemonkey.com/video.php?v=msPNJ2cxWfw If you want dedicated servers look into Game Server Hosting unitycodemonkey.com/video.php?v=IvCVFywNXMc
Question about safety: with the owner authoritative mode (ClientNetworkTransform) I would be able to modify the assembly of the build and send the character to any position I want, that's right? In this case, what could we do? Would Steam, for example, assure the checksum of the files in a safe way? Should we put some code to check player positions, or change to server authoritative mode and control it there? It would be interesting to see which common problems multiplayer games face, but I don't thing it's an easy thing to do.
Yes this has no cheat protection at all, the client can indeed be modified so that a player could move 10x faster. Using client auth is great for co-op games where you don't care about cheating. If cheating is a concern then the general rule is you should never trust the client
Dinky Guardian has a bug,when you build something your player inside that object. You have to fix this you know who could be make house by sitting on Bricks.
Anyone have any opinions on Network for game objects vs Fishnet vs Mirror? Seeing what you did here makes me want to lean towards network for game objects, assuming Unity isn't going to drop this later... I'm a bit hesitant on diving into one of these networking tools and later realizing I "picked the wrong one".
Please tell that how can we make a functional search bar on which if we search then it will show the list of online multiplayers And if we click on any player it will show option "add friend" if we click on add friend it will be added to our friends list
Will you make a video on syncing projectiles? Looking at the Galaxy Kittens example, you can see that projectiles do not have perfectly synced positions and they don’t hit enemies at the same time and it all looks off. Is that the case with these projectiles or are they actually “perfectly” in sync? This along with client-side prediction is the main blocker for my multiplayer project
Yes exactly that's client side prediction, without it the projectiles will look out of sync since the client will always have some delay That is indeed a topic I'd like to research, basically you need to create a separate dummy visual on the player and spawn it right away then keep track of the state on the server and interpolate the dummy visual
Sup Code im copy pasting this comment from other video(asking for ideas). Me and some friends are working on a game that character is related to fire control. One question how would u tackle a grappling hook that looks like a Fire Hand going to the desired position and grabs the area to get hooked. At first i thought i can animate an arm with a morpher that stretches with a fire shader on the mesh but i realize this way the distance of the hook would always be fixed to the morpher/deformation distance. Another option is using LineRenderer with some kind of woodoo with a renderTrail but the thing is how i can get the initial position of the line renderer to add the hand(mesh) doing the animation. And another is using path creator that trace from point A to B a particle but im not sure whats the correct approach. Any idea?
Yeah it sounds like the LineRenderer is the best approach, move the fire hand to the target position and use the LineRenderer to visually connect it to the shoulder You can access the LineRenderer through code to set the points, I did that in the minimap path video unitycodemonkey.com/video.php?v=Foztn0kDM7I
It can work with either, in this case for this simple demo I just made it local but I could have added Relay to make it online unitycodemonkey.com/video.php?v=msPNJ2cxWfw Or Game Server Hosting for dedicated servers unitycodemonkey.com/video.php?v=IvCVFywNXMc The NGO logic is all the same
Hey, I have a weird want.... My want is that can I take this Idea & build upon it?? I will add more features of course (not as fast as you though XD) I really want to build upon this game with my team members.... And release it! I totally understand if you don't agree, You spend time on this game! Anyways, Love from India ❤❤
Nice video! Got a question, what is your microphone? I do devlogs with an English IA voice, thinking about start doing it with my real voice, but in spanish because I'm spanish 😅
Ive been using Pun for my multiplayer setup and when i get the time i need to delve into unitys multiplayer system. It took me a while but i figured out how to do an RPG game with multiple scenes in multiplayer so player 1 leaves the village scene and goes to the forest scene leaving player 2 in the village. Then player 2 can join him. Usually in multiplayer it is 1 big map and all the players are on it. I had to fudge it to get it to work but does unity have a solution to this?
Hey, great content as always! I'm currently working on a simple MMORPG, I haven't done anything about multiplayer and am considering using Fishnet. What would you suggest I do? And is joining players openly in the same server the same as just partying them up and having them join the game? Can every registered player join the game with the same setup? Thanks for your time in advance, Have a great day!
I've only ever used Netcode for Game Objects so no idea how it compares with Fishnet although from what I heard it is indeed good. In NGO yes you can join in the beginning or in the middle of a game.
an intersting question in my mind is for a server what specfic needed? I tried make my first multiplayer game with your tutorial about netcode. I had delay for client in my friend`s pc while we were concted with lan. the game was very simple 2 capsul moving around and shoot each other but for client, position of host was different ( about 2 point difference) .why could have delay with netcode while we were lan? ( client transform network used)
The NetworkTransform component has interpolation by default, so even on 0 ping it will look like it has a delay If you do a RPC or sync a NetworkVariable you will notice how the delay matches the ping perfectly. You can either use a dedicated server or something like Relay unitycodemonkey.com/video.php?v=msPNJ2cxWfw unitycodemonkey.com/video.php?v=IvCVFywNXMc
You can't remove delay, it takes time for the bytes to physically go from your PC to the other player's What you can do is implement Client side prediction to make the lag as invisible as possible
I am currently working on an asset to put on the Unity Store. The thing is I would like it to work with multiplayer and without multiplayer. I made it works perfectly with multiplayer (Thanks to you haha). But now it doesn't work without the integration of Unity Netcode and if someone wants to create a solo game, it absolutly require him to "host" a server even tho nobody can join. How would you do it ? I am lost. I was thinking of creating a new namespace for multiplayer function and call them only if the gameObject has a component of Network Transform, but i'm not really sure how I could pull it off. Should I simply manage it as a second asset, or you think it would be possible to achieve what I want to achieve ?
Hmm for the users it might be better to make it as two separate assets, or include two separate packages, just like many assets include packages for URP and HDRP Or leave it like that and just tell the user to StartHost(); it does not require a multiplayer connection to work, the game that I'm working on shares the same code in SP and MP, it just doesn't open any public ports
Yes but that can all work locally, it does not require an internet connection, you can watch my multiplayer course on the Lecture 24 Singleplayer to see how I implemented it unitycodemonkey.com/kitchenchaosmultiplayercourse.php
Can you make a tutorial on making a multiplayer turn based game? I can only find good ones for realtime games like this and don't know where to start. 😅
Hi I've got a question. Is it possible to instantiate an object on the client and then spawn that object on the server that way there is no delay for the client when shooting a projectile?
Yup that's exactly what you'd do to make it lag free, that's called Client Side Prediction, you spawn a local dummy object instantly so it's visible but you still trust the server to tell you if it hit something
I do actually have one more question though. Do you know if it's possible to have a network transform that can be affected by multiple clients at the same time because currently I only have a server network transform and an owner network transform and they can only be affected by the server/owner even with colliders and rigidbodies.
Do you mean like a Ball in a Football game? Yes the host will own the ball and clients need to tell the host to move the ball, you cannot have everyone have ownership over the ball with a NetworkTransform But you could make a NetworkVariable that anyone can write to and use that
For multiplayer games im now mostly interested in how to sync to different servers i.e. chat servers account servers game servers etc. Do you have anything on this topic?
Hmm that's a tricky topic, I guess the best way is to use some cloud solution like Azure unitycodemonkey.com/video.php?v=qdE01Xg3y2A unitycodemonkey.com/video.php?v=EEQfSmK1nXA That way you can store the persistent data for the entire world and not just per server
Usually you don't allow players to get too far away from the host. If you want to enable that, then you need some complex logic where you basically have two worlds in one scene that are split apart
@@CodeMonkeyUnity the host handles all players and they can be on completely different parts of the map. It might work for p2p but no serious shooter uses that because of cheating reasons
Hi, I am doing a mini version of Hearthstone as a university project, and I need to build the backend for the multiplayer with .Net Core, do you have any course on how to make a multiplayer with .Net Core? or any suggestions for good tutorials for that?
Hmm I experimented with some C# backend when I researched Azure, but didn't go too deep unitycodemonkey.com/video.php?v=qdE01Xg3y2A unitycodemonkey.com/video.php?v=bVqSLLvao78
It is slightly unfair to say you have actually added multiplayer to your game without going into detail about hosting solutions and multiplayer game architecture (peer-to-peer vs dedicated server, etc.) I agree that NGO is a great tool but to truly make and release a multiplayer game it’s not as easy as it seems in this video. Did you decide on a hosting solution for this game? If so, which one? Great video either way but I thought those points were worthy of clarification.
Sure I could work on it for 30 minutes more and implement the Lobby and Relay that I've used previously, just with that it would be fully online unitycodemonkey.com/video.php?v=-KDlEBfCBiU unitycodemonkey.com/video.php?v=msPNJ2cxWfw If you want dedicated servers look into Game Server Hosting unitycodemonkey.com/video.php?v=IvCVFywNXMc
Yeah, this simple implementation is client authoritative. Works great for co-op games, but if you're making a competitive game you should never trust the client
I don't believe NavMesh supports creating multiple NavMeshes, so with that one I'd need one huge NavMesh for the entire world, whereas with A* I can make a map for the area around each castle
In multiplayer games you want only one source of truth, so you only want the EnemyAI to run on the server which then is replicated on the clients. If the clients are also running the AI then you will get out of sync quickly because the AI on the server will be doing different things than the AI on client1 and client2, etc
@@CodeMonkeyUnityBut if for example, the host leave the game and the game continues, then there is nobody left to run everything has a host. Is there something I am missing there ?
@@cottxw yeah but what about the items making the inventory is a thing creating the thing an id for every item it’s not gonna take him just an hour I’m pretty sure
I've actually been meaning to remake my old Inventory tutorial in a better way, but yup it can definitely be done unitycodemonkey.com/video.php?v=2WnAOV7nHW0 NGO automatically handles creating unique id's for any object
There's no hard limit, depends on how much data you're synchronizing. If you have a 100 network objects you can support fewer players than if you have just 10 network objects
@@CodeMonkeyUnity understood. Thanks for the reply. I appreciate it's tricky with all the possible variables to give a definitive answer. In the past with old netcode, I wouldn't even consider it for anything more than prototyping. Now it's clear the new netcode can be used for a publishable game. I'm just trying to get an idea of it's threshold. I'm wanting to attempt a FPS of the order of 12 v 12 with x6 locational hits on the avatars, but minimal other netobjects. And while I'm here ... just want to say Thankyou for this excellent channel. Top job sir!
@@NickPBond I've not used netcode myself, and I've used UNET in industry for controlled environments (not internet game). But it sucks anyway. Netcode, in other hand, seems much more reliable. Considering old games, I would not say 12v12 is too much if implemented properly, but it depends on the server as well, and there are other things like, if it's internet there are ping, services, plans, etc..
I wanted to learn Multiplayer Just when Unity Deprecated it. So I been holding off waiting for Unity to release the "new" Mulltiplayer module. In the mean time, I learned so many things about: Game Development, Math, Bussines and Managment. Its unreal how much a person can change and grow in 6 years. Off topick I realised I watched soo many of your videos ower the last 6 years that I picked up your accent a little... Really apreciate all your videos and hard effort. Thanks a lot! Good luck with your new release! @@CodeMonkeyUnity
Well this is fine as long as the game is intended to be played in a private lobbie because in a public lobbies you would instantly have people cheating since the player movement is not server authoritative.
... its easy to fool the masses. Did anyone else notice that when they cast a spell, the other hand did as well? It sounds easy and flashy, but little things like this, make it more difficult.
Depends on what server solution you use. You can host your own server, or connect the players directly, or use Relay which has a generous free tier unitycodemonkey.com/video.php?v=msPNJ2cxWfw
@@CodeMonkeyUnity I heard a game monthly API consumption is around three million API calls for 1000 daily active users, but UGS free tier only allows one million API calls per month. Maybe a game developer that has used UGS, EOS and PlayFab can clarify this
Not sure what you mean, neither of those tools is paid on API call usage, they're based on Bandwidth and CCU unity.com/solutions/gaming-services/pricing
@@CodeMonkeyUnity Unity mention about API call limits on that pricing page. Cloud Save has monthly 1,000,000 writes and reads limit, Economy has monthly 100,000 writes and 1,000,000 reads limit, Cloud Code has monthly 1,000,000 invocations limit
Yeah Indeed it work but you're not using à client-server architecture so cheating is rly easy, i don't know if it's à good lesson to teach "Yeah you can make multi easy" when it can be in the wrong way (if your game is competitive, with a ladder and rank system) but for proto can be usefull

Do you mean like a Ball in a Football game? Yes the host will own the ball and clients need to tell the host to move the ball, you cannot have everyone have ownership over the ball with a NetworkTransform
But you could make a NetworkVariable that anyone can write to and use that
Ok, thanks for the help!
Can u make a 3d(maybe not open world) game with only free assets
For multiplayer games im now mostly interested in how to sync to different servers i.e. chat servers account servers game servers etc. Do you have anything on this topic?
Hmm that's a tricky topic, I guess the best way is to use some cloud solution like Azure

That way you can store the persistent data for the entire world and not just per server
So, how about single precision floats? If you take the players out a way from origin. How do you solve that?
Gaia has a component to solve exactly that, it teleports objects
@@CodeMonkeyUnity only on the clients
@@CodeMonkeyUnity For single player games Yes. But it doesnt work for multiplayer on the server
Usually you don't allow players to get too far away from the host.
If you want to enable that, then you need some complex logic where you basically have two worlds in one scene that are split apart
@@CodeMonkeyUnity the host handles all players and they can be on completely different parts of the map. It might work for p2p but no serious shooter uses that because of cheating reasons
I want to add multiplayer to Universal truck simulation can you help me out on that
Hi, I am doing a mini version of Hearthstone as a university project, and I need to build the backend for the multiplayer with .Net Core, do you have any course on how to make a multiplayer with .Net Core? or any suggestions for good tutorials for that?
Hmm I experimented with some C# backend when I researched Azure, but didn't go too deep

@@CodeMonkeyUnity Thank you for the links, but unfortunately it not helping :(
Actual question: If projectiles are spawned only on the server, does every client have input lag from firing to actually seeing the projectiles?
Smoke and mirrors. You spawn dummies on the clients.
Yup correct just like this there is indeed input lag, that's where client side prediction comes in
@@CodeMonkeyUnity Did I hear: "Multiplayer Smoke and Mirrors - Tutorial"?
It is slightly unfair to say you have actually added multiplayer to your game without going into detail about hosting solutions and multiplayer game architecture (peer-to-peer vs dedicated server, etc.) I agree that NGO is a great tool but to truly make and release a multiplayer game it’s not as easy as it seems in this video.
Did you decide on a hosting solution for this game? If so, which one?
Great video either way but I thought those points were worthy of clarification.
Sure I could work on it for 30 minutes more and implement the Lobby and Relay that I've used previously, just with that it would be fully online
unitycodemonkey.com/video.php?v=-KDlEBfCBiU
unitycodemonkey.com/video.php?v=msPNJ2cxWfw
If you want dedicated servers look into Game Server Hosting unitycodemonkey.com/video.php?v=IvCVFywNXMc
Oh wow! With these tools, do you have to worry about hackers/cheaters?
Yeah, this simple implementation is client authoritative. Works great for co-op games, but if you're making a competitive game you should never trust the client
Why do you use A*, not built-in NavMesh in your project?
I don't believe NavMesh supports creating multiple NavMeshes, so with that one I'd need one huge NavMesh for the entire world, whereas with A* I can make a map for the area around each castle
@@CodeMonkeyUnity thank you for the answer!
Can someone explain me why in the NPC script the part where if its not host then return has been added ?
In multiplayer games you want only one source of truth, so you only want the EnemyAI to run on the server which then is replicated on the clients. If the clients are also running the AI then you will get out of sync quickly because the AI on the server will be doing different things than the AI on client1 and client2, etc
@@CodeMonkeyUnityBut if for example, the host leave the game and the game continues, then there is nobody left to run everything has a host. Is there something I am missing there ?
If the Host quits the server quits, there needs to always be a Host or Server connected
@@CodeMonkeyUnity Thx for your answers, really usefull, keep doing what you are doing, you're the Best !
Can we create game on one of the clients? Without a dedicated server?
Yes, you can make one player be the Host and the others Clients
@@CodeMonkeyUnity That's really cool 👍 I'll try it asap 🥳
Can you add an inventory in a week?
he can do that in less than a day
@@cottxw yeah but what about the items making the inventory is a thing creating the thing an id for every item it’s not gonna take him just an hour I’m pretty sure
I've actually been meaning to remake my old Inventory tutorial in a better way, but yup it can definitely be done unitycodemonkey.com/video.php?v=2WnAOV7nHW0
NGO automatically handles creating unique id's for any object
@@CodeMonkeyUnity omg I should’ve expected that a tool could make the trick
so is this unity's solution vs mirror?
Yes NGO is a networking toolset just like Mirror, Fishnet, Photon, etc
But does it play well at 100+ ms ping?
Just like this, no, this is the basics, on top of this you would add client side prediction to make it feel lag free
How many players would you use Netcode for? Will it cope with 4v4, 8v8, 12v12 ?
Depends on what kind of game too...
There's no hard limit, depends on how much data you're synchronizing. If you have a 100 network objects you can support fewer players than if you have just 10 network objects
@@CodeMonkeyUnity understood. Thanks for the reply.
I appreciate it's tricky with all the possible variables to give a definitive answer. In the past with old netcode, I wouldn't even consider it for anything more than prototyping. Now it's clear the new netcode can be used for a publishable game. I'm just trying to get an idea of it's threshold.
I'm wanting to attempt a FPS of the order of 12 v 12 with x6 locational hits on the avatars, but minimal other netobjects.
And while I'm here ... just want to say Thankyou for this excellent channel. Top job sir!
@@NickPBond I've not used netcode myself, and I've used UNET in industry for controlled environments (not internet game). But it sucks anyway. Netcode, in other hand, seems much more reliable. Considering old games, I would not say 12v12 is too much if implemented properly, but it depends on the server as well, and there are other things like, if it's internet there are ping, services, plans, etc..
@@ekzac Thanks, that's useful. :D
Hurray for lazzines! It seems pushing other things instead of mulltiplayer paying off ? Amazzing
Uh? Pushing other things?
I wanted to learn Multiplayer Just when Unity Deprecated it. So I been holding off waiting for Unity to release the "new" Mulltiplayer module.
In the mean time, I learned so many things about: Game Development, Math, Bussines and Managment. Its unreal how much a person can change and grow in 6 years.
Off topick I realised I watched soo many of your videos ower the last 6 years that I picked up your accent a little...
Really apreciate all your videos and hard effort. Thanks a lot!
Good luck with your new release!
@@CodeMonkeyUnity
Well this is fine as long as the game is intended to be played in a private lobbie because in a public lobbies you would instantly have people cheating since the player movement is not server authoritative.
Which is perfectly fine in co-op games, just not in competitive games
... its easy to fool the masses.
Did anyone else notice that when they cast a spell, the other hand did as well?
It sounds easy and flashy, but little things like this, make it more difficult.
Looks like it was fixed, I would guess it was when he added the network animation component.
You mean before I implemented the shoot particles? Yes before that I hadn't added the IsOwner check so the input was running on every player
Do you need to pay monthly for a server?
Depends on what server solution you use. You can host your own server, or connect the players directly, or use Relay which has a generous free tier unitycodemonkey.com/video.php?v=msPNJ2cxWfw
u can !
I think Unity Relay/ Lobby is expensive compared to Epic Online Services and PlayFab
Is it? The free tiers are extremely generous, unless your game is a mega hit you don't have to pay one cent
@@CodeMonkeyUnity I heard a game monthly API consumption is around three million API calls for 1000 daily active users, but UGS free tier only allows one million API calls per month. Maybe a game developer that has used UGS, EOS and PlayFab can clarify this
Not sure what you mean, neither of those tools is paid on API call usage, they're based on Bandwidth and CCU unity.com/solutions/gaming-services/pricing
@@CodeMonkeyUnity Unity mention about API call limits on that pricing page. Cloud Save has monthly 1,000,000 writes and reads limit, Economy has monthly 100,000 writes and 1,000,000 reads limit, Cloud Code has monthly 1,000,000 invocations limit

heh I'd love to try that! It's a fun genre, I hope someday I can explore it!
@@CodeMonkeyUnity Same :P I think this project could even be a good starting point although I'm not sure how it looks like under the hood

He can
DAMN you're handsome
I really love productivity but the "in 4 hours" like unnecessary pressurized things not my way. Sorry bro ♥️
It was not a time limit, I tried doing it and that's how long it took
@@CodeMonkeyUnity Congrats 🤘
Yeah Indeed it work but you're not using à client-server architecture so cheating is rly easy, i don't know if it's à good lesson to teach "Yeah you can make multi easy" when it can be in the wrong way (if your game is competitive, with a ladder and rank system) but for proto can be usefull
NGO is primarily meant for co-op games where cheating is not a factor. If you're concerned about that then yes never trust the client
Nah, he can do it within 7 minutes
MAKE THIS A FULL GAME ( or you cant?)
heh if I wasn't already busy working on my Steam game maybe I would!
@@CodeMonkeyUnity i really wanted to fly that airplane✈️✈️:( but ill be looking forward to your steam game too! ill wishlist it rn! love your videos thank you!
will it take 4 hours? lol
