Here is a list of Unity sample projects I provided that uses the new Unity Networking API for making a real time strategy game. They are all attached to this post. The maximum number of attachments is 6, so if this post exceeds 6 attachments, future posts will have a link to the next post with other samples attached.

In each of the projects, I have added comments in the C# script files to help you navigate around what the codes are meant to do. If you are still confused, post below, and I'll answer them as concise as possible.

The reason I didn't upload this to Unity Forums, is that I am rejected to upload the samples there. This is a better alternative. Uploading to Unity Asset Store is confusing for me, prefer not to do that and reduce visibility. Uploading to Github means there is less discussion of these sample projects, hindering improvements as well as other feedback that I can get.

rts_unit_spawners

This sample project only uses game objects to spawn other game objects for players to control. There are no other abilities that players can do.
  • Players joins a session and their units will spawn in.
  • Control the unit by left clicking on the floor to move them

rts_unit_silky_movement

This sample project uses NavMeshAgent as a middle-man for pathfinding calculation. What it does is let the clients (local and remote) do the calculations, and only transfer given destination points across the network, creating a silky smooth movement. In short, no stuttering movements because of NetworkTransform.
  • Controls are the same as above; left clicking on the floor moves the objects around.

rts_nonplayer

This sample project teaches how to spawn non-player game objects from other non-player game objects. Also known as "spawn chaining." This is also a technical sample project, where the end results seems trivial to do, but it takes lots of effort to work the details out.
  • Hold left mouse button and drag to make a box selection.
  • Right click on the floor to move the selected units.
  • Press S to spawn.
  • Stop the network connection to destroy spawned objects.

How about you show us some pictures / videos?

Currently "bureaucrating" my way to get a recording software installed on the lab computers, so I can use their 512MB SSDs for my advantages on making videos.

I dont think that is going to help you with videos. SSD's have slower write speeds then HDD's and 512MB is certainly not enough for a longer video with good quality.

Yeah, good point. But it's better than a network drive only.
 
General chit-chat
Help Users
  • No one is chatting at the moment.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    So what it really is me trying to implement some kind of better site navigation not change the whole theme of the site
  • Varine Varine:
    How can you tell the difference between real traffic and indexing or AI generation bots?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    The bots will show up as users online in the forum software but they do not show up in my stats tracking. I am sure there are bots in the stats but the way alot of the bots treat the site do not show up on the stats
  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air
  • The Helper The Helper:
    New dessert added to recipes Southern Pecan Praline Cake https://www.thehelper.net/threads/recipe-southern-pecan-praline-cake.193555/
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Another bot invasion 493 members online most of them bots that do not show up on stats
  • Varine Varine:
    I'm looking at a solid 378 guests, but 3 members. Of which two are me and VSNES. The third is unlisted, which makes me think its a ghost.

    I bitch about Xenforo sometimes but it really is full featured you just have to really know what you are doing to get the most out of it.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is just not easy to fix styles and customize but it definitely can be done
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
