Hello, I am building a online RPG, for now, just for my friends and I… I’ve set up a server and everything works fine but I have a question about changing values for example the max speed a player can walk. I can change my own speed and it works but when I try to modify the speed of my friends it won’t work… What can I do to make this work?
we have no idea what networking your using or anything else so we can’t say… Give us more details if you really want help with it!
Sorry:sweat_smile:, I use Unity’s networking and have a Network view attached to the player prefab, this is my CharacterMotor.js :

You need to send data over the network using the networkview, check the docs and look at the RPC method.
