Mirror

Setup guide for Dynamic Water Physics 2 multiplayer using Mirror framework.

The guide shows how to set up AdvancedShipController for multiplayer. If setting up just a simple WaterObject use the NetworkRigidbody as the WaterObjects are just simple Rigidbodies and do not need any advanced synchronization.

Mirror demo scene is included with the asset.

Warning: Make sure that the scene contains required InputProviders for the input system that is being used. More about Input here.

Setting up the scene

• Create a new GameObject called 'NetworkManager'.
• Add the following components to the created object:
  • NetworkManager
  • NetworkManagerHUD
  • TelepathyTransport (or other transport if you are not using Telepathy). In newer versions of Mirror KcpTransport is the default.

Warning: The scene should contain required InputProviders for the input system that is being used. More about Input here.

Setting up the vehicle

• Double click on Mirror.unitypackage (NWH\Dynamic Water Physics 2\OptionalPackages\Multiplayer) to import the required assets.
• Add MirrorMultiplayerShip component to the ship. This will also add necessary Mirror components automatically.
• Make sure that NetworkTransform's and NetworkRigidbody's Client Authority fields are ticked.
  • Set Network Sync Interval to 0.05 (20Hz). Default value is 0.1 (10Hz) and is too low for physics objects and will result in stuttering.
  • Set Compress Rotation to None.
  • Save the vehicle as a prefab and assign it to NetworkManager's Player Prefab field.
