Need help with VERY basic multiplayer game.

Unity Engine
1

Hello.

I’m working on a project for my campus. I’m still fairly green in the area of networking. Right now I’m also the only person working on this project.

What I need to do is be able to have multiple users connected to the same game scene and be able to chat with each other. I already have the game scene built, as well as player controllers and etc. We have a server sitting in a corner ready to be dedicated to hosting the game. Everything is basically there, I just need some help getting this basic stuff working.

Like I said I’m pretty new to all of this and I really need some help here. Any basic guides or anything that can help me? I don’t need anything fancy, just simple multiplayer with a chat box.

Thank you.

You will be better off using Unity’s builtin networking solution, the learning curve towards SmartFox or other solutions is quite steep if you have never done any networking before. On the other hand if your aiming towards thousands of users then you should look at other solutions like SmartFox or others and invest several months to get the solid base networking going for your game.
