- Latency and lag => Client side Interpolation
- Package Loss
- Authority - server vs client
Terms
=> Tackle what is the most relevant to your app
Pre-game
Server
Connect to Photon Server in a certain Region
<20 CCU free
1.
2.
Join Lobby
Open, List and Join rooms
-Random Matchmaking
3.
Join Room
It's time to take the product live - the end if the build phase but the beginning of being in market.

# PRESENTING CODE
Synced components = PhotonView
# PRESENTING CODE
1. Make a prefab with PhotonView component on GameObject
2. Store prefab inside Resources/
3. PhotonNetwork.Instantiate("path-in-resources"); - who does that is the OWNER
** photonView.IsMine
RPC = Remote procedures calls
# PRESENTING CODE
- Communication between PhotonViews
RpcTarget.All / RpcTarget.Others / by User Id
private void OnWeaponOutChanged(int val)
{
photonView.RPC("NetworkedChangeWeaponState", RpcTarget.All, val);
}
[PunRPC]
private void NetworkedChangeWeaponState(int val)
{
....
}Other ways to communicate
# PRESENTING CODE
- photon view custom Stream Buffers
void OnPhotonSerializeView(PhotonStream stream, PhotonMessageInfo info)
{
if (stream.isWriting)
{
stream.SendNext(x);
stream.SendNext(y);
stream.SendNext(z);
}
else
{
x = (int)stream.ReceiveNext();
y = (int)stream.ReceiveNext();
z = (int)stream.ReceiveNext();
}
}Other ways to communicate
# PRESENTING CODE
Room Props, Player Props
public void SetPlayerTeam(string teamString)
{
if (!playerProperties.ContainsKey("team"))
{
playerProperties.Add("team", teamString);
}
playerProperties["team"] = teamString;
PhotonNetwork.LocalPlayer.SetCustomProperties(playerProperties);
