How do I send a simple piece of data such as a Vector3 over the network? I don’t want to replicate an entire player or anything along those lines, but rather just get access to a single piece of data being updated continuously from another computer, and sent to my game manager class to handle that data as I see fit.
More info on what I am trying to do:
I don’t want to set up a host/client relationship, this is not that kind of multiplayer game. One player should not be hosting the relationship between the two. Rather I just want two clients to know of each others player position for as long as they are connected, which may end at any time, and a new player may come along. The closest thing I can think of for this is the networking of Journey, if that helps.
My thoughts are that a master sever will need to be created separately from the clients, and it would handle the data transfers, but for the first implementation, a static connection between two IPs would be fine.
If you provide any code in your answer, C# would be preferred over js. I am using a trial version of pro, and the final product, if made, will be made in pro, if this matters.
I have looked through a variety of tutorials and questions, but haven’t quite found what I am looking for. Although I could also simply be approaching this incorrectly…
Edit: I am making some progress with some RCA functions (I think), and creating a simple server (different from the clients)… I could still use some help on this though!
