Hello everyone! We have released a plugin to drastically reduce the need for custom networking code on server-authoritative multiplayer games, Network Input.
Network Input seamlessly integrates with Unity’s Input System to handle multiplayer input through the network (no additional code required), and supports most input control types.
Network Input provides a solution for handling input across networks in multiplayer games by extending Unity’s Input System, allowing developers to focus on gameplay rather than input synchronization. It was designed with extensibility in mind, so you can easily add support for any kind of input device or control, and any networking library.
