Network.time

Unity Engine

Is a Client’s Network.time supposed to try to sync with the Server’s time? Because it isn’t.

In my tests on a local network between PC (webplayer) and Mac, the network time on the PC starts around 14252 while the Mac time starts at 41 (in this case) and of course varies as it goes, and each time you start it.

If that’s how it’s supposed to work, that’s fine, but obviously I’d like to know either way. :wink:

Thanks

PS: Unity 2.0 btw.

Network.time doesn’t work that way. Checking it individually on the server and client will not give any useful information as it can show completely different numbers (as you have seen).

You can use it as relative time compared to the timestamps you get in NetworkMessageInfo. There are internal adjustments to make up for different local system times.

Ok, thanks for clearing that up Larus.
