Question How to learn new Multiplayer system

Hi there!

I really want to know where to learning a new Multiplayer System?
actually I used to knew UNET before,
I can create online game like PUBG or other multiplayer game...

But Unity already changed from UNET to another
(I still don't know what is..., I just know UNET is no more)

so I would like to know where to find the way to learn this new Multiplayer System?

if anyone has a new example or tutorial about this new Unity Multiplayer Please let me know!

Thanks!!!

 

Perhaps you are looking for DOTS Netcode?

 

Thanks!
I’m not sure But if it can work it should be Ok and it can working on mobile?

 

The documentation is quite hard work - but it is improving every week. There are not many good tutorials yet but Tarodev has some good examples as does UnityCollege3D. There are lots of simple examples that Unity have created (although I found the big Boss Room example was just too complicated and a bit out of date).
I am an amateur, self-taught programmer and it has taken me about 3 weeks of full time effort to get to the point where I can join players via relay, using a lobby, to a multiplayer networked game. But I am not very smart or skilled and the documentation is evolving (as are the products).

The main thing is to get set up on the Dashboard so you can use Lobby and Relay or other services as you learn.

I recommend doing the examples in Tarodev's tutorials (on youtube). They are slightly out of date because the systems are now all live. And make sure you bookmark all the documentation sites as you will need to switch between them a lot.

 

@CreativeChris Sure thing. Over the last 2-3 months I have been trying to get my head around the UGS offering and distill what I need into a game. I think that has coincided with a lot of documentation changes, updates and releases in UGS. That is all good news but, as an example, none of the links on this page worked for most of the time I have been trying to understand the concepts...
https://docs-multiplayer.unity3d.com/netcode/current/about/index.html

I downloaded the Boss Room sample and installed (via package manager) the latest updates to UGS services a few weeks ago (maybe 3 or 4 weeks). The code would not run and threw out a lot of errrors even though everything was using the latest LTS at the time. It may well be different now.

I have noticed a couple of "this is now deprecated" notes in the documentation against refs and methods that are in some of the code samples (I think these were relay examples). I can try and dig them out if you need them.

I am really very happy with it all. If I don't sound it then I recommend this handy guide to English emotional expression...

 

documentation is king

 

@CreativeChris Here is an example of the stuff I mean...
This is the documentation page for Relay: https://docs-multiplayer.unity3d.co...how-do-i-pass-allocation-data-to-my-transport
I am using this to connect up my lobby players, but see this in the code...

Code (CSharp):

1. // WARNING allocation.RelayServer is deprecated. It's best to read from ServerEndpoints.
2.         IPv4Address = allocation.RelayServer.IpV4

...and part of me thinks, if there was time to write the commented warning, was there not also time to add a link to the page that tells me how to not use the deprecated method.
Like I said originally, I am not an expert (and so probably shouldn't be touching things I don't know about), but this adds a straw of uncertainty to a camel that is already well-laden with self-doubt. I am not sure what the camel is in this analogy - maybe the mental capacity to carry the project through the Deserts of Development to the Oasis of Completion.
