Unity Multiplayer Tutorial: Spawn and Equip Items Using Unitys New Multiplayer System (MLAPI)

[@MarshmallowBoy]

Nice to see a tutorial that doesn't take half a fuckin hour to get started

[@Santiago-bl3xu]

Very useful tutorial. I am trying to get acquainted with MLAPI, but the documentation, examples and tutorials are as of now scarce. Keep it up!

[@slaymuel4474]

Glad you found it useful! I have started to work on another MLAPI tutorial about picking up and dropping items. Also taking damage using syncvars. I'm aiming to complete it before next weekend.

[@jasondegoumois3809]

Got a clue on how to make it so that someone can use magic but only that person can use that magic, and it does damage, also you are so underrated you deserver more subs

[@unity_with_timoteo]

Finally someone who knows stuff and how to teach them. Fantastic man! You could make a series on MLAPI. Teaching about, take damage, take objects over ground, health, spawn objects, shoot with bullets and raycast, open door, inventories, sync spawnable objects to new players, respawn dead players, all this comenting what is good and bad pratices, just like you did here. I hope you get all the subs and views you want. Cheers!

[@slaymuel4474]

Thanks for the nice comments! I will try to make some more MLAPI videos in the future, maybe some more full fledged ones also. I want to try to make videos about stuff I think is lacking in other tutorials.

[@dmytrogladkyi]

Just what i was looking for!

[@CodMinecraftstyle]

thank you my guy, saved hours of insanity

[@haydenfranks4191]

This was such a good tutorial! You did a great job at explaining everything so I can apply this to my game really easily. Only advice is to full screen visual studio so the text is easier to read

[@M4nichean]

Dude, this was pure magic! just great!

[@slaymuel4474]

Thanks!

[@okiramasutiktoks4501]

would love to see more mlapi tutorials! youre amazing

[@onehornstudio7152]

[@macarongthieusang]

That's all i need. thanks you

[@Birillox69]

[@slaymuel4474]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!

[@jugibur2117]

Thanks for your work, got a lot of infos here!

[@tehuster]

Great tutorial dude! Keep up the good work. Subbed!

[@khanlakhno2757]

Continue MLAPI series please

[@GraphicalBoss]

Love it! Great job 👏👍 SUBSCRIBED

[@tonihenriksson2399]

Make a tutorial on how to set up a multiplayer project from start to finish? :P An simple one :P Would be epic!

[@PeterMilko]

Is it better than PUN? PUN is still cheaper right?

[@gamerweed6949]

What do you think?

[@PeterMilko]

@@gamerweed6949 Ima stick with PUN for now, its more developed

[@gamerweed6949]

@@PeterMilko but its expensive right if u host ur game but i will admit it is more devoloped iam trying to use mirror currently

Any chance you can touch on spawning weapons in a complex prefab like Synty modular character? Transform parenting is a nightmare.. ive tried past few days to get it to work without luck.

[@aekzel]

Nice tutorial but I have an issue with your solution .... I can't get rid of a 'NotServerException'. Clients cannot spawn their own cube, server won't let them ... Any solution please ?

[@magicpixeltree]

awesome

[@FlizzyGlizzy]

How do you equip a networked object to a none networked object (the arm)

[@jasondegoumois3809]

Can you make a video or even tell me how to make an inventory, and being able to pick up items so you can equip them but you need to have the item to equip it, and also how can I make it more than one item in the equip thing thanks and sorry for bugging you

[@sqw33k]

I have a slight problem with Parrelsync which 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 other 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. Is this related to windows not giving enough resources to handle both applications at equal priority or something else entirely? Regardless, I'm welcoming any and all tips on how to solve this.

[@jasondegoumois3809]

the using unityengine.inputsystem doesnt exist anymore i could not find it, and i cannot do the bit where it says if(keyboard.current.digitkey._______)

[@slaymuel4474]

I think that it is part of the new input system, which you can download it from the package manager. But if you want to capture inputs from the user i would suggest setting up events (also using the new input system though). If i'm not mistaken there are tutorials for this on the unity website. Hope you get it to work!

[@jasondegoumois3809]

@@slaymuel4474 i think i fixed it, its just now you can infinitely make them idk if its in the video but ill see the rest

[@あれくす]

This does NOT work if you try and parent the item to a non network object/transform. Furthermore, it won't work if you aprent it to a network object/transform that has not be SPAWNED into the scene... so if you have a player control network object with a child transform that has hands, arms, etc.. if you try and spawn the network weapon object and set its parent to be the player's hands... unless you've also spawned in those player hands.. which will create the same error as above... you can't parent the weapon/item... super annoying. What is the work around?

[@ZICKFREED]

Why does everyone have the same thing? why is there no tutorial on how to create a server to manage this spawn on the client? The server is very important

[@jasondegoumois3809]

Ok So I have tried looking it up and have tried fixing it with different methods its just i cannot get this error out of my way: Assets\EquipItem.cs(24,9): error - ServerRpc method must be marked with 'ServerRpc' attribute!

[@slaymuel4474]

Make sure that you have the [ServerRpc] decorator above the function. Also your function name has to have the suffix ServerRpc (i forgot to say this in the tutorial unfortionately....). So for instance private void YourMethodNameServerRpc(){} See this: docs-multiplayer.unity3d.com/docs/advanced-topics/message-system/serverrpc Hope this solves your problem!

[@watercat1248]

ok what exactly is the MLAPI ?

[@EbbsClifton33]

Can you please make a tutorial how to do object pooling with mlapi?

[@slaymuel4474]

I'm working on another tutorial, and i will make sure to include object pooling. Will upload in a day or two!

[@EbbsClifton33]

@@slaymuel4474 Awesome! thanks man :)

[@tinytea3323]

Any idea how to despawn from client?

[@slaymuel4474]

You can send a server rpc from the client and pass in the NetworkObjectId of the object which you want to despawn. Then call despawn() on the networkedobject from the server. As far as i know, you cannot despawn directly from the client. Hope it helps!
