[TheBronzePker]

@lawshenk

You're trying to convert a game object to a float... This is your error, silly boy.

[walkerion3d]

I got it to work :D Thank you so much!!!

[shinriyo]

does it work on Android without Pro license?

[SjaiStudio]

Can you make a video tutorial please?

[tommmmmmmmm2]

[Frankyfrank77]

Cool That is exactly what I'm looking for. Tried to download it but the link did't work. Can you send me a direct link to a download that works please. You would help me a lot with that. Thanks

[VirtualAutonomy]

@Frankyfrank77

Check your spam folder. :]

[AndrewsParodys]

Im having trouble seeing the people in my game

[Jimsanerikson]

@AndrewsParodys

Yeah me to, i tried to activate the meshrenderer that was unchecked, but nothing seems to work. If you sucess with the error please tell me :)

[salvonius]

I'm still having some trouble with the players. When the cliënt joins, the host loses his sight and instead controls the cliënt. Anyone got a clue on how to fix this?

[SethiXzon]

The chat works, but I can't see anyone else or objects that they've instantiated.

[anamatiornmotatons]

Thank you very much

I have used this for many games including my new Airplane game Danger Zone and also a game for all of my friends. you are awesome

[ViperCodeGames]

Having issues connecting on the webplayer, It works fine as standalone, but wont connect as a webplayer(in editor or built) any help?

[VirtualAutonomy]

@ViperCodeGames

This is an issue with the security protocols in Unity v3.0, there is a work around, I'll amend the blog post to reflect this in the near future.

[IamNatatos]

Thank you.

[simone99905]

I wait..... and wait.......

[VirtualAutonomy]

@simone99905

You need something called an email address. Some people have a lot of their mail going into what's called a 'junk folder'. You need to go inside that folder and check for any unread messages.

Thanks

[unrealofobia]

nice tutorial i already payed to lol and its work ! ! !

can be a good idea add a 3rd person camera

[simone99905]

I've payed 2dollars. I wait

[gsus7125]

The demo I made is non-authoritative, because I was under the impression that had more potential for speed since less data is sent (I guess).

[gsus7125]

Ya know I made a online multiplayer demo game using Unity's built in networking, but the characters don't move nearly as smoothly as this. Is that because SmartFox (which your using) has more potential than Unity's networking?

My code is pretty efficient and barebones, and the send rate is at 30, yet the characters movement is somewhat choppy.

[simone99905]

Hi I'm waiting for the tutorial! After one month

[VirtualAutonomy]

@simone99905

Don't worry about it then. Read the description if you get a chance some time in the next few years.

[simone99905]

@VirtualAutonomy

?? years??

[gsus7125]

@simone99905 Check the description there's a link to the tutorial

[kinetiknz]

Hi, any idea how to fix the mouse controller so it doesn't move in those steppy increments?

Cheers

[UEGUnequaled]

Hey, i downloaded your project, but i can not see anywhere how it will teach me how to make my game multiplayer, just 2 people playing. Please respond with some sort of enlightenment, thanks.

[VirtualAutonomy]

@UEGUnequaled

Read the tutorial. /shrug

[UEGUnequaled]

@VirtualAutonomy where is it at?

[ChromeFXFilms]

This is not a tutorial. Where is your tutorial?

[VirtualAutonomy]

@ChromeFXFilms

You won't understand the tutorial if you can't read the description. Don't worry about it.

[ChromeFXFilms]

@VirtualAutonomy Haha, sorry, I see it now

[slayere23]

How many players can this support? Is it all LAN?

[198boblob]

I have made a master server using unitys scripting and when i put a network view on my player it doesnt work. Do u possibly know y

[198boblob]

i have downloaded Unity's Networking Example Project and i cant seem to connect to neigher myself nor my friends. If you have any suggestions that would be great.

i think it is because i am doing the wrong thing for the port and server(if I am making any sense)

Thx

[dranoel1963]

is it made with a inside master server, or does it uses the unity's one

[fjonkjox]

thank you for the tutorial, its really helpfull! but, i can connect to the game using 2 clients and i can write and so on, but i cant see the other player, he is like invisible,but i dont get any erros, the character is jusst invisible. can anybody help me? please!?

[kingjoel0]

Yes but not for free ;(

[gamer4helper]

Very nice, i just bought the project file :p

[kingjoel0]

Please make a tutorial on how you made that. Please! I am trying to make a an onling mmorpg game a bit like runescape so please please reply to this comment. Please. P.S it is so ausome!

[VirtualAutonomy]

@kingjoel0

Check the description. You'll need Unity pro, otherwise you'll have to edit out a few lines to do with a water shader.

[koekje00005]

@kingjoel0

dont worry,

on my site you can download the project of this vid for free

[BivertZ]

@kingjoel0 do u know how to get it online?? s:

[Zkrudriverz]

@kingjoel0 did you pay for unity pro??

[madichelp0]

@kingjoel0 ROFL, the fact that you are even asking that question is enough to say that you wont complete that game. Make a few easy games to build up your knowledge and then you might be able to do it.

[4thGenerationGames]

@kingjoel0 I think your bitting more than you can eat with a huge MMORPG with Unity3D. It will take you many years.

[bokenthecool]

how do i make it so if i shoot the other persoion he dies

[msborat96]

Work this over the internet or only lan

[diedy5]

The last part of the tut is confusing ... do you want us to buy your project so we can see how to setup that character ? cause your explenation isn't complete there.

I will buy it but I don't see why I should ?

[dranoel1963]

@VirtualAutonomy fast reply...

the thing im saying that theres already a multiplayer scripts for free like this one in unity forum page , just that there are a few unfinished parts about the connecting and NAT code, im just saying u know....

[VirtualAutonomy]

@dranoel1963

Ah, fair enough. Yes, but I only charge $2 - this is my way of doing things.

Kind regards

[dranoel1963]

@VirtualAutonomy if i had a card i woud buy it lol, my scripts dont work so well with the connection/NAT punchthrough coding

[GenerationBryan]

my server wont run when i hit the start piece, i get an error at the end

[Bocomarine]

im having trouble with making other players characters appear in game I set them as the remote player but... nothing happens when they join nothing represents the other player but I know it works I can chat back and forth but no models are appearing.. I mean I made me point im tired but can you give me advice to what I may be doing wrong here

[osukafilms]

what shader is there on the rocks, it seems like a bumped diffuse of som sort

[VirtualAutonomy]

@osukafilms

Bump specular map.

[osukafilms]

@VirtualAutonomy

wow, I posted that comment on 1 month ago...thank you though

[Jimsanerikson]

@osukafilms

I would guess bumpedspecular with use of the "generate from grayscale" option, + maximum "shine effect" and a rather low "bumpyness".

[kildler]

hey i would love it if you made a video tut on it would be so much cooler and easyer thanks!

[kildler]

Hey dude, this is would sooooo sick if you would make a video tut it would be so much easyer. Thanks if you do!

[multixgamesdev]

How does the chatbox work? is there a script you could give me?

[mi9ke9]

I download all the components and I imported the assets but when I put Login GUI in the hierarchy and try to play it gives me ImageEffect errors saying "Assets/Pro Standard Assets/Image Based/BlurEffectIsland.cs(131,­25): error CS0103: The name `ImageEffects' does not exist in the current context" and I haven''t messed with the script yet.I tried reimporting all but the same thing happens. can you help?

[somavision]

Does this work for server based connections, or only local LAN?

[1337BOXdotWEBSdotCOM]

why is the website in tinyurl?

[Justin712]

Was that lag when he was floating for a second after jumping? If so, is that the server's fault or your connection?

[VirtualAutonomy]

Most likely the clients fault. The server works perfectly, all it does is transmit coordinates.

I haven't looked into it though there's a parameter for height correction which should remedy the problem.

[SpiritsUnited]

...A giant green jellybean!

But good tutorial, looks like it could be expanded for some interesting works.

[Sentientv2]

Just bought the tutorial. Thanks for putting this together.

[doublesob]

Verry nice I will buy your project I hope

[benllben]

cant get onto webpage?

[VirtualAutonomy]

Fixed

[benllben]

ok thanks :P

[GTAmyths94]

very cool! I will try it for my game. 5* ( i know i cant rate it)

[DerangedGames]

This is great for people who want to start making Online games, or chatrooms in Unity3D.
