Netcode for GameObjects

WIP for Opsive Character Controller networked using the Unity Netcode for GameObjects.

Project Setup

Basic networked menu for testing, with some basic customization using unity GUIStyle.

Networked Menu

Unity sytle networking menu gui, help with testing Server/Client connection setup.

Networked GUI

Player Tool

Tools => GreedyVox => Networked => Character Inspector

Setting up the player UCC prefab, use the tool menu to open up the dialog box, drag the Player prefab into the input field and than hit the Update Character button.

Tool Setup

The Player prefab will now have all the networking scripts added and ready for networking, the Player prefab should look like the screen-shot below.

Ai Tool

Tools => GreedyVox => Networked => Character Ai Inspector

Setting up the Character Ai UCC prefab, use the tool menu to open up the dialog box, drag the Character Ai prefab into the input field and than hit the Update Character button.

Object Setup

All prefabs assigned to he UCC Object Pool will automatically be pooled with the Networked Object Pool, when using the interface for spawning the prefabs over the network.

Object Pooling

Provides built-in support for Object Pooling, allows to override the default Netcode destroy and spawn handlers, for storing destroyed network objects in a pool for reuse.

m_SpawnObject = ObjectPool.Instantiate (m_CloneObject, Vector3.zero, Quaternion.identity);
NetworkedObjectPool.NetworkSpawn (m_CloneObject, m_SpawnObject, true);

Networked Pickup Item

Pickup items must be added to the networked pool and spawned in at runtime, pickup items cannot be in the OPSIVE Object Pool, otherwise they will all spawn into the game world.

Spawning the pickup item into the game world at runtime.

[SerializeField] private GameObject m_SwordPickup;
private void Spawn () {
    var go = ObjectPool.Instantiate (m_SwordPickup, Vector3.zero, Quaternion.identity);
    NetworkedObjectPool.NetworkSpawn (m_SwordPickup, go, true);
}

Pickup Tool

Tools => GreedyVox => Networked => Item Pickup Inspector

Setting up the Pickup Item UCC prefab, use the tool menu to open up the dialog box, drag the Pickup Item prefab into the input field and than hit the Update Item button.

Tool Setup

Networked Prefabs

Spawning prefabs into the game world must be in the network prefab list, this will insure that server will spawn automatically across networked clients.

Watch video below to see everything in action.
