We don't deserve you. I want to start working on my multiplayer idea for years now. Never went through with it, despite multiple attempts. This new course gives me new motivation and inspiration. Thanks for all your work, I will go with the premium version 🎉
Bro I was already not done with your last 10 hour course on a single player game called Kitchen Chaos and here you are with another course on Multiplayer basics, I hope I can complete it as soon as possible so that I can learn from this one. You are literally someone who can sell these things for thousands of dollars but chose to set them for free which is equally amazing as these long videos.
Thank you very much for this tutorial. For the last two years I've been circling around Unity multiplayer didn't know where to start. And now it's time to put what I've learned here into practice on my project.
I really appreciate this tutorial. It’s come just in time too. I’m planning to rebuild a prototype I made years ago from scratch, and add multiplayer to it. Now I just have to get in the habit of working in Unity regularly again. Keep up the amazing work!
I was just thinking about trying to make some simple multiplayer game, like tic-tac-toe, to get a better understanding. This is very timely, thank you so much!
I just did it all. At first, I didn't have any knowledge about the server, I didn't have any knowledge about the rpc, but after four days of repetition, I understand better than I did at the beginning!! So much thank you for this tutorial, it helped me a lot!!
I’m now a fairly experienced developer, halfway through watching the video on 2x speed, and I just want to say thanks for always explaining things properly and clearly, with good coding principles. I’ve learned sooo much from you over the years!
This is much easier than using Mirror. This new way of declaring an Rpc function is awesome. Thank you so much for this tutorial. You just saved my game. I was kind of lost and sad trying to use Mirror and not progressing.
Finally got to this. This was fantastic! Well done! I would love to see some stuff specific to real time games like Rollback code and some prediction logic. A simple 2d fighting game could be a good showcase. I think distributed authority would also be a great next series to make
Very useful, I'll use this information in a future game, thank you very much for what you are doing, people like you make the industry great. I couldn't imagine how easy is to make games before you started showing up in my feed.
I haven’t been watching your videos, but I’ve been waiting to actually start programming to learn a lot of game design from you! Your doing gods work for us. Keep it up!
You really are amazing. Only the demo tells me this tutorial will be amazing. After the tutorial on netcode, this is the direct tutorial to watch before moving to kitchen chaos 🙏🏿. By the way, this video helps me understand simply and clearly the difference between using netcode for game objects and netcode for entities. Thanks 👍🏾

Nice simple way to learn multiplayer games. I think is awesome you are helping people learn netcode. I use fusion and made a course on a marvel snap type game. But the more courses out there, the better.
Hey CodeMonkey, thank you for this amazing full course video on Netcode for Gameobjects! I've been really motivated to learn multiplayer lately so this came out at such a perfect time! When can we expect a Netcode for Entities full tutorial series? My goal is to make a compettive FPS game and I love your teaching style. Any planned dates? Much Love
Thanks so much man you make this course, i wasn't sure should i learn NGO or not and finally i can decide, btw i really appreciate it if you make a tutorial for github in unity, it's really useful
New year gift from You? Waiting for you free courses is more exciting and full of curiosity than GTA6 and Squid game season 2 (At least for me) , Huge thanking you for free course that help a lot
I'm about to watch this one to get some further insight as to how to translate it as my main experience in online multiplayer comes from Roblox. (Keep in mind that they made it so in Unity 6 that client replication doesn't require build and you can actually test virtual clients inside the Editor :D - That was a long awaited feature to get me back - It was exactly the same in Roblox for some time already) Also I would love if you could showcase tutorial about UGS and other interesting goodies that Unity 6 multiplayer allows. I know that we will have to dig ourselves most of it, but it always helps to take your perspective into account when attempting to learn new stuff. Thank you for you contribution. :)
@@CodeMonkeyUnity Huh, out of all the possible reasons why you're using light mode, I didn't expect this one. Perhaps you're just not used to it, because there's no way a darker theme burns eyes more than the brightest theme. But again, I'm also using dark mode for everything so I'm deeply used to it and am biased towards that as well. Though technically dark mode does reduce blue light and gotta be better for our eyes, that's why I ultimately chose dark mode on everything.
Everyone's eyes are different, my eyes struggle like crazy to focus on tiny white letters on a dark background. It's not a question of brightness but focus. Imagine you're curling a 20kg dumbell with your biceps and just constantly holding it at 90 degrees, that's what it feels like for me to look at dark mode with my eyes. Whereas in light mode my eyes stay relaxed, no issues focusing on dark letters on white background.
Code monkey im 100% going through this course soon. But if i were you i would change the thunbnail, i dont feel like it shows how amazing this video is and i wouldnt expect it to be a free course i had to look for the video it to find it
Thanks for this! I wanted a multiplayer game tutorial for Unity 6! You're the best! Oh, and if you don't mind, can you answer this quick question? Will this tutorial work for 3D games too?
you da MVP Code Monkey ! Awesome work ! If you have time and/or want to, it'd be neat to do a tutorial on how to properly handle multiplayer to scale at low cost. If you were to scale a game like this one you'd be forced to add a lot of servers to handle a low number of players whereas if you abstract away more from NGO you'd be able to handle thousand of players on the same server (because you wouldn't need to spawn a unity server for each game). I believe it'd be a really neat video/tutorial for advanced programmers (it might not be what you want to do, if so sorry about that !)
This is using Player hosted servers, so the only cost is with using Relay which is extremely cheap and has a very generous free tier. I used it in my game Dinky Guardians and I think I only paid a few cents. Unless your game is a massive hit you don't have to pay anything for any of these multiplayer services. You only need dedicated servers if you need super fast paced games like a competitive shooter, but most games can work perfectly fine with player hosts.
@@CodeMonkeyUnity yeah that's what I do in most of my games ! The downside is that you are really dependent on the player hosting, if he disconnects for whatever reason everyone is disconnected (unless you manage that somehow, which I totally didn't do yet 😂). If I rework my multiplayer games that'll be to do what I say above, having a dedicated server running thousand of instances because adding more servers using unity multiplay would cost a ton of money for a really low number of players. Thanks again for sharing such awesome tutorials
For that yup you can implement Host migration. Netcode for Game Objects doesn't have it by default but you can implement it yourself. As the host disconnects, one other player becomes the host and the other players join the new host which then loads the last game state.
@@CodeMonkeyUnity I think you should have included this in the paid version, if that's reasonable. For a small competitive game, it is important that the host server is running.
Which should I take: this or the other Beginners' Course + the Multiplayer add-on? I have programing experience. I am guessing that one is more in-depth, but there are so many courses it is hard to tell where to start and what overlap there is. Also, where does the C# course fit in? It would be awesome if there was a list of topics side-by-side similar to a product comparison somewhere. In any case, thank you so much for all the value you provide to the community. Cheers!
This course is amazing! And I really appreciate that you make free versions, I really want to buy the premium version to help but I live in Egypt and I can just not afford it at all. I have a question though, if i make this project on 2 computers and run them and make a lobby in one of them, will I be able to enter the lobby from the other computer? Again, thank you very much and I hope you continue making these brilliant courses.
Please create a video on how to make playable/ interactive ads and publish them on unity cloud or if there is any refence video or paid course please let me know
This is exactly what I was looking for - as we are now moving towards Multi territory! My friends and I have something to play now during lunch breaks :D. I do have a question on the Multiplayer topic. Considering Fallout 76, with the Worlds aspect and server setup. How do they achieve this with Multiplayer? And the Open World aspect while generating random spawns, loots and assign X amount of players to the map on a World Instance. I never quite understood the concept - though I do imagine that the World Instances are separate servers with certain checks that are performed to see if there is space. Would one use DOTS?
hmm I've never played Fallout 76 so not sure on exactly what you're referring to. It sounds like it just has the dedicated server running logic that determines where to spawn players, so when the player connects, the server decides where they will spawn. Same thing for open world events, all that logic would run on the server, the clients would just see the end result. I think Fallout 76 has worlds with something like 100 players right? For that scale yup you would want DOTS. NGO is more meant for smaller scale co-op games up to about 8 players.
@CodeMonkeyUnity thank you very much for the response. What you describe makes sense. And yeah the worlds are limited to about 100 players. Thank you for all your input in the community!
Ty for the tutorial ❤, Made it to 2:46:31 following along but i didnt find the files to intégrate the tutorial lobby package , so I tried to get them from the finished project, (copied the lobby tutorial folder and added the relay and lobby packages) , but I still don't know how You fused that scene with the Game itself :( .
There's a download button under that lecture's header on the course page unitycodemonkey.com/tictactoefreecourse.php The only "fusing" required is just automatically starting the NetworkManager when 2 clients join the lobby and loading the GameScene when 2 players Other than that the Lobby is completely separated
The main thing is really just using the Steam Transport, everything else is exactly the same github.com/Unity-Technologies/multiplayer-community-contributions?path=/Transports/com.community.netcode.transport.facepunch Then it depends on what Steam features you want to implement I definitely would like to do a standalone tutorial on that if I can find the time
Lectures are all valuable, but so fast paced and not in depth. Always directing to the in depth tutorials that you've made but those are also fast paced and hard to understand. It feels like you only show instead of making us understand i really have to dig into to understand the logic behind it. For example this video called simple multiplayer but if one doesn't know what a rpc is as a concept will have hard time to understand how it works. Instead of full projects i would prefer to see practices of each concept, understand it and then use it in real time scenarios. But still is a gold mine. Also instead of quiz you could let us to write some code on our own to figure it out how it really works, i feel like not your style tho. Cheers
Can you point to a specific example that you didn't think was in-depth enough? I did explain RPCs in detail, what part couldn't you understand? They send a message to run a function on the target device, there's not much else to explain so not sure what more detail you were looking for.
Would the lobby connections and networked game sessions work for users on different machines in different locations (different IPs?) as developed in the video? Are extra steps required to distribute this game to my friends and play together remotely?
Lobby works by default with anything, it will not be blocked by any firewalls, Lobby is really just the same as accessing a website, it's just a normal HTTP request. For the Netcode connection, you either need to set up port forwarding and disable firewalls, or use Relay. If you're using Relay then there's nothing else you need to do, anyone will be able to host and connect to another game. So you just make the executable, send it to a friend, they join your Lobby and join your game through Relay.
You mean with like an ELO score or something? The official tool for that kind of thing would be Matchmaker unitycodemonkey.com/video.php?v=90Iw1aNbSYE But that one works with Game Server Hosting which is paid. Maybe you can build your own backend server infrastructure in the cloud to store just that data, so you still use Player Hosted servers, just have cloud for the ELO rankings, I think that would be either free or extremely cheap th-cam.com/video/bVqSLLvao78/w-d-xo.html
This is coming as I'm working on my first multiplayer game. I noticed you used events here. Do you know if Unity Events fired from the player prefab have the ability to display to each UI uniquely. I assume they do, but I've failed to get it working yet.
hmm not sure what you mean by that, events are just events, they're not inherently related to multiplayer in any way. If you just fire a normal event it will only run on the local object, it won't automatically synchronize across the network, if you want that you need an RPC to send a message for all clients to invoke some event
@@CodeMonkeyUnity Interesting. I'm wondering if I'm running into some Unity 6 Multiplayer Play mode shenanigans. My Unity Events to update UI are firing on all clients when 1 triggers the event.
Hello my m8!, have you sent idea now to limit the colours on the screen to 32, in creating an Amiga style game and the snugs used only 32 colours on the screen at a time. Hope it would be compatible with beautify 2 as well but not essential
hello i enjoyed the video and it was clear and very helpful but i wanted to ask something i tried spawning ui using the spawn method you showed here and it does spawn but it does not show the image both on the server and the client and i was wondering if UI which are prefabs do not act the same way or like is there something i do not know
To make it work on the web you just need to tick the WebSockets toggle in the UnityTransport component. I made a web version of this game and everything works unitycodemonkey.com/game.php?g=tictactoe
Neat video. 1 thing that still bugs me. Why not have the scripts pre made, and just attach the network scripts to each object? I know they can simplify this tremendously.
What do you mean? What scripts? The NetworkTransform and NetworkAnimator do work exactly like that, you just attach them and that's it They can't really make more specific plug-and-play scripts since they don't know what game you want to make.
Hi Code Monkey! Could you please explain to me how I can create a GameManager that persists between scenes? It doesn't seem you can use DoNotDestroyOnLoad on Network Objects, but the Game Manager will hold information that is important for the whole game. I'm not sure what to do. Thank you for any help you can give me here and all of your help throughout the years!
One easy way is to just put all data that you want to persist on static fields, that way it won't be destroyed between scenes. Although does it really not work with DontDestroyOnLoad? When you spawned it did you do Spawn(false); ? That way it shouldn't be automatically destroyed on scene load. I'm glad my videos have helped you! Thanks!
The way me, and my team handle this is by using an additive scene that will act as a persistent. This persistent scene won't be destroyed when you change between scene as we load our scene using LoadSceneMode.Aditive. So you can store your data by creating empty game object and attach every manager scripts on it. Well, in my case it's a single player game, so I'm not really sure if it works on multiplayer game as well. But I definitely think it's worth a shot.
Isn't relay and lobby depraceted? Do we still have to use them? in your project you have these packages installed and the game does not work without them. Ugs game should include them in some way. What's the solution for this problem in order to have everything that works with unity game services(UGS)?
Yes the packages are now deprecated in favor of the Multiplayer Services package, but all the code is the same, you just swap out the individual packages for that single one.
@@CodeMonkeyUnityThat's what happens to me if I download multiplayer services and remove relay + lobby Assets\LobbyTutorial\Scripts\StartGameManager.cs(41,51): error CS1729: 'RelayServerData' does not contain a constructor that takes 2 arguments Assets\LobbyTutorial\Scripts\StartGameManager.cs(57,51): error CS1729: 'RelayServerData' does not contain a constructor that takes 2 arguments Assets\LobbyTutorial\Scripts\LobbyManager.cs(246,58): error CS0234: The type or namespace name 'Instance' does not exist in the namespace 'Lobbies' (are you missing an assembly reference?)

@@CodeMonkeyUnity I tried to swap (removed relay and lobby, and added multiplayer services) and I receive many errors about lobby and relay! Try to believe. Could you help me to fix these differences or understand what happens?
Great video. Although, I've gotten stuck with the relay / lobby stuff. I authenticate with player 1 and player 2 (giving both different names). Then I create a lobby on player 1, player 2 connects. The game scene loads on player 1, but it doesn't load for player 2. Also, although it loads for player 1, I can't actually play the game.
Does player 2 join the lobby? Does player 2 get the message to start the game? Does player 2 get the Relay join code? Add various Debug.Log to see what the code is doing and where it's stopping
Hi CM, Can you PLLEEEAASSSEEE make a server auth tutorial. These are all great but it's such a difficult topic that I feel a lot of people could benefit from. There are no good tutorials out there. I'm piecing my game together slowly from scrap material. Thanks
@@CodeMonkeyUnity I guess I am referring to Client Side Prediction specifically (Which is more specific to FPS's). Might be too niche as I know you prefer to cover broader topics.
If I go to your website to download the free courses, it tells me I have to login first but I don’t have an account and there is no sign up button or page anywhere 😅 am I just blind? lol
There's a Sign Up button on the top right corner, to the right of "CONTACT", "ABOUT", "BEST 2024" buttons, maybe your browser is super zoomed in? Strange
Don't get me wrong, but this one looks more complicated than DOTS 😅, I used netcode previously but that not looked this complicated or maybe I have not used complicated part
heh really? Interesting, what part do you find complicated? For me after making multiplayer games 10 years ago when it was a nightmare I do find these tools infinitely easier heh Just create a NetworkManager and click a button and you have a connection, just add an attribute and you have an RPC, just define a NetworkVariable and some data is synched, it really is infinitely easier nowadays.
@@CodeMonkeyUnity yes I understand these tools are making it easier as compared to previous, I was talking about understanding the tutorial 😅, I easily understand your kitchen chaos multiplayer tutorial and also implemented it, Maybe I was not in good state of mind during listening to this tutorial, I will rewatch again next Weekend ♥️.
Hello Code Monkey, I hope you're doing well. Hey, I wanted to ask you something. Like you, I also want to create my own courses and lessons on game development. But since I'm inexperienced for now, I'm trying to imitate expert teachers like you a little bit. What I mean is, can I create my own lessons in Turkish by somewhat imitating what you explain in this video? Of course, it won't be an exact copy. I'll do my best to make it different, and the resulting game will be similar but different. However, I'm a bit afraid of getting into legal trouble. What do you think? Can I borrow some inspiration from you? You won't sue me, right? :)
Sure! That's how a lot of people learn, first you learn yourself and then you try to teach. One excellent bonus of that is by doing that process you learn a lot yourself. There are no legal issues unless you just copy-paste reupload the exact same video. If you watch to learn, then make your own video in your own words then it's your own course. Best of luck!
Thanks so much man you make this course, i wasn't sure should i learn NGO or not and finally i can decide, btw i really appreciate it if you make a tutorial for github in unity, it's really useful

I hope you learn a lot! Thanks!
you are awesome !!!! keep it up
Hey CodeMonkey, thank you for this amazing full course video on Netcode for Gameobjects! I've been really motivated to learn multiplayer lately so this came out at such a perfect time!
When can we expect a Netcode for Entities full tutorial series? My goal is to make a compettive FPS game and I love your teaching style. Any planned dates?
Much Love
Great job! Very high-quality content!
your videos deserve millions of views❤
Thanks!
Thanks so much man you make this course, i wasn't sure should i learn NGO or not and finally i can decide, btw i really appreciate it if you make a tutorial for github in unity, it's really useful
New year gift from You? Waiting for you free courses is more exciting and full of curiosity than GTA6 and Squid game season 2 (At least for me) , Huge thanking you for free course that help a lot
Awesome!
just commenting for the algorithm... I really hope that this video gets hundreds of millions of views in the long term
Thanks!
thanks
Here from Unity's post on Bluesky!
Oh I just saw the post! Awesome! I hope you learn a lot!
I'm gonna buy it at some point in the future
I hope you learn a lot!
I'm about to watch this one to get some further insight as to how to translate it as my main experience in online multiplayer comes from Roblox. (Keep in mind that they made it so in Unity 6 that client replication doesn't require build and you can actually test virtual clients inside the Editor :D - That was a long awaited feature to get me back - It was exactly the same in Roblox for some time already)
Also I would love if you could showcase tutorial about UGS and other interesting goodies that Unity 6 multiplayer allows.
I know that we will have to dig ourselves most of it, but it always helps to take your perspective into account when attempting to learn new stuff.
Thank you for you contribution. :)
Noo, lightmode, my weakness, my eyes! Jokes aside, amazing tutorial, love it
heh sorry but dark mode burns my eyes, I can't look at it for more than 10 seconds without getting massive headaches.
@@CodeMonkeyUnity Huh, out of all the possible reasons why you're using light mode, I didn't expect this one. Perhaps you're just not used to it, because there's no way a darker theme burns eyes more than the brightest theme. But again, I'm also using dark mode for everything so I'm deeply used to it and am biased towards that as well. Though technically dark mode does reduce blue light and gotta be better for our eyes, that's why I ultimately chose dark mode on everything.
Everyone's eyes are different, my eyes struggle like crazy to focus on tiny white letters on a dark background. It's not a question of brightness but focus.
Imagine you're curling a 20kg dumbell with your biceps and just constantly holding it at 90 degrees, that's what it feels like for me to look at dark mode with my eyes. Whereas in light mode my eyes stay relaxed, no issues focusing on dark letters on white background.
i like it !
Code monkey im 100% going through this course soon. But if i were you i would change the thunbnail, i dont feel like it shows how amazing this video is and i wouldnt expect it to be a free course i had to look for the video it to find it
COOL!
Thanks for this! I wanted a multiplayer game tutorial for Unity 6! You're the best! Oh, and if you don't mind, can you answer this quick question? Will this tutorial work for 3D games too?
you da MVP Code Monkey ! Awesome work ! If you have time and/or want to, it'd be neat to do a tutorial on how to properly handle multiplayer to scale at low cost.
If you were to scale a game like this one you'd be forced to add a lot of servers to handle a low number of players whereas if you abstract away more from NGO you'd be able to handle thousand of players on the same server (because you wouldn't need to spawn a unity server for each game). I believe it'd be a really neat video/tutorial for advanced programmers (it might not be what you want to do, if so sorry about that !)
This is using Player hosted servers, so the only cost is with using Relay which is extremely cheap and has a very generous free tier. I used it in my game Dinky Guardians and I think I only paid a few cents.
Unless your game is a massive hit you don't have to pay anything for any of these multiplayer services. You only need dedicated servers if you need super fast paced games like a competitive shooter, but most games can work perfectly fine with player hosts.
@@CodeMonkeyUnity yeah that's what I do in most of my games ! The downside is that you are really dependent on the player hosting, if he disconnects for whatever reason everyone is disconnected (unless you manage that somehow, which I totally didn't do yet 😂). If I rework my multiplayer games that'll be to do what I say above, having a dedicated server running thousand of instances because adding more servers using unity multiplay would cost a ton of money for a really low number of players. Thanks again for sharing such awesome tutorials
For that yup you can implement Host migration. Netcode for Game Objects doesn't have it by default but you can implement it yourself.
As the host disconnects, one other player becomes the host and the other players join the new host which then loads the last game state.
@@CodeMonkeyUnity yeah that's what I'd do before scaling with dedicated servers !
Could be an interesting programming task too !
@@CodeMonkeyUnity I think you should have included this in the paid version, if that's reasonable. For a small competitive game, it is important that the host server is running.
thank you
thanks for another amazing course mr monkey, still waiting for the phasmophobia course :D
19:54, hierarchy, inspector and scene are grayout out for me. Anyone knows how to enable them?
Seems you can change it in play mode only but it will save.
Yeah that layout button is a bit odd, sometimes it only works when playing, and sometimes only when not playing
@@CodeMonkeyUnity 👍
Which should I take: this or the other Beginners' Course + the Multiplayer add-on? I have programing experience. I am guessing that one is more in-depth, but there are so many courses it is hard to tell where to start and what overlap there is. Also, where does the C# course fit in? It would be awesome if there was a list of topics side-by-side similar to a product comparison somewhere. In any case, thank you so much for all the value you provide to the community. Cheers!
please also upload how to make tycoon or simulator type games video . very needed
This course is amazing! And I really appreciate that you make free versions, I really want to buy the premium version to help but I live in Egypt and I can just not afford it at all. I have a question though, if i make this project on 2 computers and run them and make a lobby in one of them, will I be able to enter the lobby from the other computer? Again, thank you very much and I hope you continue making these brilliant courses.
Please create a video on how to make playable/ interactive ads and publish them on unity cloud
or if there is any refence video or paid course please let me know
This is exactly what I was looking for - as we are now moving towards Multi territory! My friends and I have something to play now during lunch breaks :D.
I do have a question on the Multiplayer topic. Considering Fallout 76, with the Worlds aspect and server setup. How do they achieve this with Multiplayer? And the Open World aspect while generating random spawns, loots and assign X amount of players to the map on a World Instance. I never quite understood the concept - though I do imagine that the World Instances are separate servers with certain checks that are performed to see if there is space. Would one use DOTS?
hmm I've never played Fallout 76 so not sure on exactly what you're referring to. It sounds like it just has the dedicated server running logic that determines where to spawn players, so when the player connects, the server decides where they will spawn.
Same thing for open world events, all that logic would run on the server, the clients would just see the end result.
I think Fallout 76 has worlds with something like 100 players right? For that scale yup you would want DOTS. NGO is more meant for smaller scale co-op games up to about 8 players.
@CodeMonkeyUnity thank you very much for the response. What you describe makes sense. And yeah the worlds are limited to about 100 players.
Thank you for all your input in the community!
Ty for the tutorial ❤, Made it to 2:46:31 following along but i didnt find the files to intégrate the tutorial lobby package , so I tried to get them from the finished project, (copied the lobby tutorial folder and added the relay and lobby packages) , but I still don't know how You fused that scene with the Game itself :( .
There's a download button under that lecture's header on the course page unitycodemonkey.com/tictactoefreecourse.php
The only "fusing" required is just automatically starting the NetworkManager when 2 clients join the lobby and loading the GameScene when 2 players
Other than that the Lobby is completely separated
@CodeMonkeyUnity Ty ❤️
How can we integrate this with Steam? It would be great if you could make a video on this topic as well! ❤
The main thing is really just using the Steam Transport, everything else is exactly the same github.com/Unity-Technologies/multiplayer-community-contributions?path=/Transports/com.community.netcode.transport.facepunch
Then it depends on what Steam features you want to implement
I definitely would like to do a standalone tutorial on that if I can find the time
Lectures are all valuable, but so fast paced and not in depth. Always directing to the in depth tutorials that you've made but those are also fast paced and hard to understand. It feels like you only show instead of making us understand i really have to dig into to understand the logic behind it. For example this video called simple multiplayer but if one doesn't know what a rpc is as a concept will have hard time to understand how it works. Instead of full projects i would prefer to see practices of each concept, understand it and then use it in real time scenarios. But still is a gold mine. Also instead of quiz you could let us to write some code on our own to figure it out how it really works, i feel like not your style tho. Cheers
Can you point to a specific example that you didn't think was in-depth enough? I did explain RPCs in detail, what part couldn't you understand? They send a message to run a function on the target device, there's not much else to explain so not sure what more detail you were looking for.
Code Monkey is Emotion 🎉
Would the lobby connections and networked game sessions work for users on different machines in different locations (different IPs?) as developed in the video? Are extra steps required to distribute this game to my friends and play together remotely?
Lobby works by default with anything, it will not be blocked by any firewalls, Lobby is really just the same as accessing a website, it's just a normal HTTP request.
For the Netcode connection, you either need to set up port forwarding and disable firewalls, or use Relay.
If you're using Relay then there's nothing else you need to do, anyone will be able to host and connect to another game. So you just make the executable, send it to a friend, they join your Lobby and join your game through Relay.
@@CodeMonkeyUnity awesome. Thank you for the detailed response!
Quick question, is there a way to create a "ranked mode" with free unity stuff?
You mean with like an ELO score or something? The official tool for that kind of thing would be Matchmaker unitycodemonkey.com/video.php?v=90Iw1aNbSYE
But that one works with Game Server Hosting which is paid.
Maybe you can build your own backend server infrastructure in the cloud to store just that data, so you still use Player Hosted servers, just have cloud for the ELO rankings, I think that would be either free or extremely cheap th-cam.com/video/bVqSLLvao78/w-d-xo.html
I am going to make a top-down game but where should I get the assets? It is going to be a pixelated game
This is coming as I'm working on my first multiplayer game. I noticed you used events here. Do you know if Unity Events fired from the player prefab have the ability to display to each UI uniquely. I assume they do, but I've failed to get it working yet.
hmm not sure what you mean by that, events are just events, they're not inherently related to multiplayer in any way. If you just fire a normal event it will only run on the local object, it won't automatically synchronize across the network, if you want that you need an RPC to send a message for all clients to invoke some event
@@CodeMonkeyUnity Interesting. I'm wondering if I'm running into some Unity 6 Multiplayer Play mode shenanigans. My Unity Events to update UI are firing on all clients when 1 triggers the event.
Hello my m8!, have you sent idea now to limit the colours on the screen to 32, in creating an Amiga style game and the snugs used only 32 colours on the screen at a time. Hope it would be compatible with beautify 2 as well but not essential
hello i enjoyed the video and it was clear and very helpful but i wanted to ask something i tried spawning ui using the spawn method you showed here and it does spawn but it does not show the image both on the server and the client and i was wondering if UI which are prefabs do not act the same way or like is there something i do not know
lobby and relay are deprecated. where do you talk about it? what are the solutions? is everything now inside ugs?
The solution is just remove those packages and install Multiplayer Services package instead. All the code is the same, just swap the packages.
❤❤❤❤, even paid courses don't teach this stuff
While downloading assets for game I found some issue, so I downloaded entre project file and extracted required sound and texture file from that ..
Hi, How to integrate webrtc with netcode for gameobjects ? Or do we need to implement it on our own ?
To make it work on the web you just need to tick the WebSockets toggle in the UnityTransport component. I made a web version of this game and everything works unitycodemonkey.com/game.php?g=tictactoe
Neat video.
1 thing that still bugs me. Why not have the scripts pre made, and just attach the network scripts to each object?
I know they can simplify this tremendously.
What do you mean? What scripts? The NetworkTransform and NetworkAnimator do work exactly like that, you just attach them and that's it
They can't really make more specific plug-and-play scripts since they don't know what game you want to make.
Hi Code Monkey! Could you please explain to me how I can create a GameManager that persists between scenes? It doesn't seem you can use DoNotDestroyOnLoad on Network Objects, but the Game Manager will hold information that is important for the whole game. I'm not sure what to do. Thank you for any help you can give me here and all of your help throughout the years!
One easy way is to just put all data that you want to persist on static fields, that way it won't be destroyed between scenes.
Although does it really not work with DontDestroyOnLoad? When you spawned it did you do Spawn(false); ? That way it shouldn't be automatically destroyed on scene load.
I'm glad my videos have helped you! Thanks!
The way me, and my team handle this is by using an additive scene that will act as a persistent. This persistent scene won't be destroyed when you change between scene as we load our scene using LoadSceneMode.Aditive. So you can store your data by creating empty game object and attach every manager scripts on it.
Well, in my case it's a single player game, so I'm not really sure if it works on multiplayer game as well.
But I definitely think it's worth a shot.
Isn't relay and lobby depraceted? Do we still have to use them? in your project you have these packages installed and the game does not work without them.
Ugs game should include them in some way. What's the solution for this problem in order to have everything that works with unity game services(UGS)?
Yes the packages are now deprecated in favor of the Multiplayer Services package, but all the code is the same, you just swap out the individual packages for that single one.
@@CodeMonkeyUnityThat's what happens to me if I download multiplayer services and remove relay + lobby

@@CodeMonkeyUnity I tried to swap (removed relay and lobby, and added multiplayer services) and I receive many errors about lobby and relay! Try to believe.
Could you help me to fix these differences or understand what happens?
Great video. Although, I've gotten stuck with the relay / lobby stuff. I authenticate with player 1 and player 2 (giving both different names). Then I create a lobby on player 1, player 2 connects. The game scene loads on player 1, but it doesn't load for player 2. Also, although it loads for player 1, I can't actually play the game.
Does player 2 join the lobby? Does player 2 get the message to start the game? Does player 2 get the Relay join code?
Add various Debug.Log to see what the code is doing and where it's stopping
@@CodeMonkeyUnity Solved it. For some reason, there was no Start Game Manager in the Lobby scene
relay and lobby packages are deprecated
im not using unity 6 but using unity 2022, As multiplayer play mode is specially for unity 6 what are the other alternatives which i can use?
You can use ParrelSync which is what people used before github.com/VeriorPies/ParrelSync
Hi CM, Can you PLLEEEAASSSEEE make a server auth tutorial. These are all great but it's such a difficult topic that I feel a lot of people could benefit from. There are no good tutorials out there. I'm piecing my game together slowly from scrap material. Thanks
What do you mean by that? This game is server auth, the server is the ultimate source of truth and the client uses RPCs to talk to the server
@@CodeMonkeyUnity I guess I am referring to Client Side Prediction specifically (Which is more specific to FPS's). Might be too niche as I know you prefer to cover broader topics.
If I go to your website to download the free courses, it tells me I have to login first but I don’t have an account and there is no sign up button or page anywhere 😅 am I just blind? lol
There's a Sign Up button on the top right corner, to the right of "CONTACT", "ABOUT", "BEST 2024" buttons, maybe your browser is super zoomed in? Strange
Whoah, you are way way way better looking than I imagined.
You look like a gigachad. You should go on camera more often.
Don't get me wrong, but this one looks more complicated than DOTS 😅,
I used netcode previously but that not looked this complicated or maybe I have not used complicated part
heh really? Interesting, what part do you find complicated?
For me after making multiplayer games 10 years ago when it was a nightmare I do find these tools infinitely easier heh
Just create a NetworkManager and click a button and you have a connection, just add an attribute and you have an RPC, just define a NetworkVariable and some data is synched, it really is infinitely easier nowadays.
@@CodeMonkeyUnity yes I understand these tools are making it easier as compared to previous,
I was talking about understanding the tutorial 😅, I easily understand your kitchen chaos multiplayer tutorial and also implemented it,
Maybe I was not in good state of mind during listening to this tutorial, I will rewatch again next Weekend ♥️.
nice try but i already committed to spending 20 hours following your other tutorials to make a multiplayer game 😭
Hello Code Monkey,
I hope you're doing well. Hey, I wanted to ask you something. Like you, I also want to create my own courses and lessons on game development. But since I'm inexperienced for now, I'm trying to imitate expert teachers like you a little bit. What I mean is, can I create my own lessons in Turkish by somewhat imitating what you explain in this video? Of course, it won't be an exact copy. I'll do my best to make it different, and the resulting game will be similar but different. However, I'm a bit afraid of getting into legal trouble. What do you think? Can I borrow some inspiration from you? You won't sue me, right? :)
Sure! That's how a lot of people learn, first you learn yourself and then you try to teach. One excellent bonus of that is by doing that process you learn a lot yourself.
There are no legal issues unless you just copy-paste reupload the exact same video. If you watch to learn, then make your own video in your own words then it's your own course.
Best of luck!
@@CodeMonkeyUnity Man, you are amazing. You've made my day. Believe me, I will do my best to avoid imitation.
What's with the no-ads stuff ? TH-cam doesn't have ads.
Laughs in TH-cam Premium.
heh yeah I'm a big fan of TH-cam premium. One Premium viewer pays a lot more than dozens of ads so thanks!
I thought netcode is some other game engine lol
Hugo you're the fucking GOAT
First I think
your voice is too low, i need 100% volume to clearly hear your voice
Is it? It's on the same level I normally use, it's pretty loud if I put it on the max, are you sure your speakers aren't set low?
@CodeMonkeyUnity maybe, but i think when i watched anyone else it's need like 50% volume...but yeah when i tried it on my phone your voice is good
Million thanks Teacher Hugo 🙏 🙂🫡🫡🫡 I will watch h later with focus for now just let it running in background maybe that helps you with yourube algo ✌️
