Spot on! Really well done and I plan on watching the entire series on photon. I like the enthusiasm because in other people's tutorials I was falling asleep haha. I try to put the same level of enthusiasm in my vids.

I know a little English, but I tried hard to understand it.
And it was worth it, you teach very well, it is very detailed.
Thank you!

[DevAnomaly]

[Glutoblop]

This really helped me with the problem I was stuck on! Nice one :)

So I've seen a few tutorials on how to do this and understanding it really isn't that difficult, but for some reason, I cannot receive data. I do get two hits to the 'receive' part of the serialization function, but that's it. Sending data is no problem. I was thinking maybe it was my firewall, but that really shouldn't be the case because transforms work just fine.

What is the best practice for syncing a scene object like a Car or a Plane. That any user can take control off ?
I was trying to use OnPhotonSerializeView but it only syncs if the host drives the Car. If the client tries to drive, the other users dont see any diference/ dont get synced.

What's the music playing? Love it

[levtunik]

could you elaborate about the case where I want to share and display the remote player's GPS coordinates on my game\app screen? how would you use the serializeView then?

[Renvyr]

Great tutorial, very well explained. Thanks a lot!
You should be a teacher :P

I'm not able to connect to the server once I insert the name in the Main Menu scene, I might be missing something? Im getting  "Disconnected: InvalidAuthentication"

[ZethsweyReaper]

I know this off topic but it looks like you're floating in the video man.

Anyways I look forward to the rest of the tutorial.

I want write data in client side using OnPhotonSerializableView() but it's not working... Please help

[tokyowarfare]

Please reupload without music. It is killing me. I love the asset anyway.

[good]

Your tutorials would be great if you didn't have that music always playing in the background. It's way to distracting to distracting. Also, please talk slower. It's already kind of difficult to understand what you're saying because of your accent, and talking quickly makes it even more difficult. This is semi-complicated material, so the slower you can go, with the lease number of distracting stuff playing in the background( that MUSIC!!! ), the easier it will be to actually learn the stuff. Thank you! :)
