Help, Turn based Game like Chess, i can't do it

Unity Engine
1

Hello,
First of all, i 'm foreigner (korean) so my english skill is bad. please understand my situation. thank you

i wanna make a game like chess. actually i wanna make a game like Heroes of might and magic series game.

and it can be network.

My plan is that 1server , 2 client connected to it. and each client can play a game.

what i have done is that i used MasterServer and register a server ( because i 'm making game so i think 2 server is not needed).

and A client ( it is bulided, so i can run window), connected well.

A Object i created, this is like a piece in chess( is this right word? like Knight,Queen,KIng ),

if i press my space bar in client, RPC is called and server make a object. so server has Object control

so if, i mouse click in client, object is moving to destination.

(object has Network view Component and Synchronization is Reliable)

when object moved, this moved smoothly. i mean not teleport to destination.
you know what i mean? not teleport, move smoothly

but, this is synchronization is Reliable… so there is a delay of time…

so i think.

when you see Server window, this object teleport to destination.
but when you see client window, this obeject move to destination smoothly.

this is more efficient i think.

but this is not worked…

i wanna to say so much things but my english skill is so bad that i can’t say collectly…

but i keep doing.

so i do many things to run what i wanted…

this object is only exist in server. because i do like that… using RPC.
so in client, i can’t control this obejct ( and i think this is good for security i think i heard of that)

but, i really can’t do that. so i think

client has also a List which stored object(server has a list before).

but i realize this is not good…

when i control server, i can’t access client list,
when i control client, i can’t access server list.

this make same problem… adding a list to client or not…

this is turn based so i think synchronization doesn’t need to be very soon.
how can i do that?

my question isn’t clearly i think… but help me.

i have searched korean cumunity, but no one can tell me that… or make me confused…

thank you for reading my bad word

ah! i forgot to say, i used unity built-in network …
i never used photon network or others… i think my game is so light that i think i don’t need to use others…

Here’s what I did:

  • RPC calls (read up)
  • create an enum with all the different multiplayer steps you need
  • create a state machine that controls the flow around the idea that both players remain synced
  • create seperate RPC calls for each state

create a variable that stores the current state and one for a received state

upon receiving an RPC call, put it’s state into the received state

in the state machine, upon reaching a state, send the message once (and only once)
then check if you already received the message from the other side, or if you need to wait a bit

upon receiving the proper reply from the other side, continue to the next state and repeat

//pseudo code
chessstates state;
chessstates sent;
chessstates received;

enum chessstates : int{
    connecting = 0,
    start = 1,
    white = 10,
    black = 20
};

void Update(){
    switch (state){
    case white:
        if(sent != white)
        {
            //send white data (or wait for the player to make a move, then send)

            object[] data;
            networkView.RPC( state.ToString(), RPCMode.OthersBuffered, data );
          
            //then set the reminder
            sent = white;
        }
        else if (received == white ){
            //save to goto black now
        }
        break;
        case black:
        if(sent != black)
        {
            //repeat white
        }
        break;
    }
  
}

As the rules are clearly defined, both server and client can check for invalid moves.
So all you would need to know is what piece (give it a unique id) goes where (place on grid)

Then play it like an animation locally
