Sync. car wheels over UNET.

How?

The car itself uses a networkIdentity already, so networkTransform sync is no otpion.
I'm frustated there's seriously not one single topic anywhere on the web, related to this problem.
I'm using the default UnityStandardAssets Car.

No modified Networkmanager or other components.

uNet is far from abandoned. Why do you need to sync wheels turning? even for just a couple of cars that's a lot of data to be sending round. Would it not be better to have scripts that rotate wheels based upon actual movement of the car, then just send positional data on the cars?

 

Don't get me wrong, but if I would use Commands and Client to sync the wheels (controlled by input), would it send too much data over the network?

 

The goal is always to send the smallest amount of data possible. Sending data for all 4 wheels is totatlly needless, when position and rotation of the car is what's required. You can use simple maths to work out wheel rotation based on velocity to target position from whatever the server sends.

How many players are you planning on per game/match/world? Have you already looked into latency issues, packet delay/loss, prediction, interpolation, dead reckoning, and other such mechanisms to make things appear to run smoothly?

 

Yes, I did take a look (and made changes) to run things smoothly. I must say the car's rotation and position are pretty accurate by now. I am planning to have about 3 to 5 players per match/race.
I'll see what I can do related to your advice, thanks.
