Third Party Photon fusion multiplayer game (laser hockey) with physics

Hello Everyone,

We are implementing a laser hockey game that can be played online using photon fusion. We tried using many strategies and flows to try to reach the best solution where the puck/ball collision can be handled properly and the paddle's movement should be smooth. These are our results based on different strategies:

A) Host/Client game and moving paddle based on input + Physics 3D server mode, it caused a delay in the paddle movement in the client side. As you can see in the video there is a lag and the paddle is always behind the client's input touch point

B) Host/Client game and moving paddle based on input + Physics 3D client prediction, it caused weird behaviors and movements.

C) Shared Mode game and moving each paddle in FixedUpdate on each node + Physics 3D server mode. The paddles move correctly but the physics of collision with the ball is wrong.

D) Shared Mode game and moving each paddle in FixedUpdate on each node + Physics 3D server mode + Eventual Consistency + Area of interest. The paddles move correctly but the physics of collision with the ball is wrong + some ball jittering.

And I attached the snippets of some functions or components.

I read somewhere to reduce the heavy calculations in onInput so I split it.

1) I calculate the needed touch point in FixedUpdate based on user input + screen height:



2) I pass the info collected in onInput:



3) I read the passed data in FixedUpdateNetwork and re-calculate the touch point based on new device screen resolution and pass the needed force to the rigidbody:



Finally, The network objects (Ball + Paddle), Ball:


Paddle:


Please advice to know what better we can do to reach something close to real-time simulation.

Thanks in advance.

 

Looks like some bug in your code. I am using shared mode for something similar with great success.

 

you should using com.unity.physics instead unity collider and rigibody
