How to Build a Multiplayer Game with Unity + Mirror

[@murkorus7147]

If you're using this tutorial around the time of this comment, you maybe got an error similar to me: 6 errors when trying to hit play at 21:14 in the video. Something about a transport not being assigned. In the video, the Network Manager component automatically adds another component to the object and finds it, but it didn't do it in my version of unity and mirror (and maybe not in yours too). To fix this, go to your NetworkManager gameObject, in the inspector, click "Add Component", then search for "Telepathy Transport (Script)", and add it. In the Network Manager component on the same object you just added the Telepathy Transport component to, look for a setting called "Transport" (Probably around half-way down), drag and drop the Telepathy Transport (Script) component to that setting, and you should be good to go. :)

I wasn't expecting this series to be so new, I thought it was another tutorial from like a year or two ago

[@AviatorXD]

Finally someone making a good multiplayer tutorial for Unity! Thanks alot man!

Although I found the first video a little off-topic with all the networking background, I really enjoyed this one. Would you explain in detail the lag that can be seen? It seems a little excessive to me, but it could be due to debuggers or other Whatnots. I would appreciate more on this on future videos. Can not wait to see the next one!

[@ShrineApp]

@@caspronauta Glad to hear :) The actual network delay/lag in this is as minimal as it gets (since I'm running both clients on the same machine). There is some slight visual delay because I have 2 editor windows open + recording at 60fps

[@sayvillegames]

Great JOB

[@sergius.of.nothing]

the ckecking of Client Authority checkbox on NetworkTransform was so fast, I completely missed it. So if anybody has issue with synching just check that that checkbox checked aha

[@caiowcosta]

Amazing tutorial, thank you! For those who are experiencing VSCode problems not finding the "Network Behavior" class and the "Mirror" namespace, go to the C# extension you installed and downgrade your version to 1.23.2, clicking on the gear and "installing another version..." and typing "1.23.2", for me it worked

[@ImMrBigBigMac]

tyty! was losing my mind over this one.

[@sh0ckwav3_]

Thank you so much.

[@GregDunn]

If anyone is following along and getting an error about NetworkBehavior not being found... note that Mirror uses the British spelling and that's there's a u in there -- NetworkBehaviour

[@rustyrishii]

Holy shit man... it's really hard to believe that an amazing tool like ParrelSync is free. Absolute mad respect to whoever created that.

[@sushiwaumai4773]

This tutorial is way better than the networking tutorial from Tom Weiland. You can actually understand the stuff. Great job!

[@Tongyo42]

I was watching a couple tutorials on mirror and I figured i got the basics but i was struggling a lot on this first step. This Hello World approach helps wonders. Thanks dude!

[@RogueWorlds]

I'm glad you picked Mirror, there are already way too many photon tutorials

[@ShrineApp]

Agreed! And Mirror is definitely the way to go imo

[@rikrishshrestha5421]

Great intro ! It has been 2 days that I am trying to find up to date and interesting tutorials on mirror. I think we have a winner !

I wish you the best of luck with this series! Do yourself a favor and write out a roadmap so that you can keep yourself on track. The scope you laid out in this video is large but man is it needed! I look forward to watching it!

Yep I have a rough roadmap in my head but I'll def keep that in mind. thanks for the kind words :)

the other tutorial i watched sounded like a foreign language 15 minutes in, I understood this fully throughout the entire half hour. thank you.

[@devyncurley6311]

So well done! Thank you for putting in the effort for this, especially sharing how you use Parel Sync, and your set up on Visual Code.

[@Devir666]

duuuude. awesome. I think you refreshed the tutorials of mirror, you picked up a better way for conducting the network idea, and all the preparation with github, parrelsync and asset store is fast and well done. (the git part is very begginer-friendly) I gonna see it all. thanks!

[@derekrocco4344]

Amazing tutorial! Thanks for setting this up! Love seeing insights into others' dev envs alongside explanations of how these systems work - ParrelSync is a great inclusion here!

Hi! I watched the multiplayer tutorial and I have a question. I have two players. One of them jumps. In the second player's window, the first player is shaking when he's trying to jump. But if both of them are walking,, everything looks smooth in both windows. Do you have any ideas?

[@zukarimoto_q]

Thank you for this tutorial series! I am trying to implement your workflow into an existing single player project with a first person controller I got from the asset store (movement + cameraLook). Can I simply change the existing scripts from MonoBehaviour to NetworkBehaviour, and add the 'if (isLocalPlayer)' statement before everything that handles my existing functions?

[@magicpixeltree]

Awesome

[@gamedoughhh]

Wonder is it support the cross platform progress and IAP? Thx

Hello, I'm creating an FPS camera and using the FirstPersonController script from Unity's StandardAssets, it works almost perfectly, however, do you know why when I activate the vertical mouse clamp, on mobile it keeps giving a nan nan nan problem on the camera? When I disable the clamp, the error disappears, however, the clamp is gone. Thank you!

May I suggest adding the playlist URL to the description, it's easier than having to go search for it each time.

[@Prolu7]

For some reason for me this only works in Editor... When I build the project I cannnot connect from a second Instance of the "game" Edit: the two instances of the game are run on the same pc, but my Port should be open anyway.

[@saturnjr9136]

So how would I parent a camera to the player so its first person? Does the camera also need a networkidentity?

[@Moreno6000]

21:21 so why is it not moving because I know my movement script is right so it must be something with being not a localplayer even though it's a localplayer because when I do if(!isLocalPlayer) than it works but that's not what i want

[@Celcious]

did you add "using Mirror;" "NetworkIdentity identity;" "identity = GetComponent();" "if (identity.isLocalPlayer){ ur code here }"

Great video, you explained everything very well. Quick question: If we are creating a game with 100 player functionality should we use PlayFab or self host with Easy-Wi or Pterodactyl? In terms or scalability I am thinking FlayFab makes more sense, that way we can focus on game development and not maintaining servers. What do you you think is the best route? We want an option that is scalable.

[@ShrineApp]

I would use PlayFab or GameLift

[@blushingbutterfly7742]

thank you so much!

[@sqw33k]

Thanks for the tip about ParrelSync! I have a slight problem with it though and it is that the execution of either non selected copy of Unity seems to "fall behind". As in, the (selected) one is sending data in FixedUpdate but the server isn't handling it at the same rate in it's FixedUpdate. If I switch it catches up and now consumes data faster than the other is sending. I believe this to be related to windows not giving enough resources to handle both applications at equal priority but I am not sure and welcome any ideas on how to fix this. :)

[@CryptoKaiwen]

So about 3 minutes in when you're explaining the compatible version of Mirror 2018-19. Would Unity version 2019.4.12f1 LTS support Mirror Ok? Many thanks
