How to launch the example game​

1. Download the Unity package above.​

2. Apply the relevant package in an empty Unity project.​

3. Create a new project in BACKND Console.​

  • Get the Client App ID and Signature Key from the project. See the relevant documentation.
  • BACKND SDK is already included in the source code, so there is no need to install it separately.
  • On the left menu of the console, select BACKND Chat to activate it.
  • On the left menu of the console, select BACKND Matchto activate BACKND Match.

4. Enter the Client App ID and Signature Key issued in Step 3 to The Backend > Edit Settings.​

5. When the material is not applied to the character​

If the material is not applied to Prefab or models and is displayed in magenta, install Univeral RP(Render Pipeline) on the upper section of Unity, from Window - Package Manager.

After that, drag UniversalRednerPipelineAsset.asset in Asset > LWRP to Player Settings > Graphics > Scriptable Render Pipeline Settings to apply it.

Apply the dead-reckoning technique​

  • Player movement/rotation

    • When the client sends a movement key packet, the host sends the direction of the movement and the current location of the client to the server to broadcast such information.
    • Based on this information, the client moves to that location and maintains the movement direction until the next location packet arrives.

  • Bullet shooting

    • When the client sends a bullet shooting key packet, the host sends the location of bullet creation and movement direction of the bullet to the server to broadcast such information.
    • Based on this information, the client creates a bullet and moves it in the relevant direction.

  • Hit by bullet

    • If the player is hit by a bullet, the host sends a message to the server to inform that the player is damaged in order to broadcast such information.
    • The client applies the damage packet received from the server and applies it to the game to process damage.
    • A wall getting hit by a bullet does not trigger synchronization. It is processed by each client.
    • If the player is hit by a bullet in the client, not the host, it will be ignored.(Damage is not processed.)
