Hi Everybody,
Im starting to learn about networking, i want to update a game im making with network functionality.
First off, im using the Third Person Controller script with character controller.
I have done the easy part, Conection / Master Server and is working.
My problem now is update the Third Person Controller script to make it work in network.
I learn how to control animations, stg like this :
if (Input.GetButtonDown("walk")) {
networkView.RPC("Walk", RPCMode.All);
}
@RPC
function Walk() {
animation.Play("walk");
}
but the Third Person Controller script is a bit complex to my understand so i want to ask you guys if you have a easy explanation of how to know what part i have to update in the script.
I didn’t modify the Third Person Controller script, just i want to update it with the network function.
In case, here is the Third Person Controller script.
// Require a character controller to be attached to the same game object
