    Hey everyone,

    Is it possible to use UNet to save user data like stats etc? Or how would we manage that?

    Thanks!

    Save data has to be stored locally, and it would be in your best interest to save data on the host machine (rather than a client's machine). UNET can't do that part - all it can do is transmit said data. UNET would come into play when a player joins or leaves, and for player identification (maybe?), but not for the actual saving.

    So leaderboards etc are still done by other systems?
