Sample description

This sample is meant to show each type of RPC message you can send with the netcode package on clients and servers. It has a GameObject based UI which presents a simple chat window to demonstrate simple RPC routines as chat and user messages are sent:

  • When a client connects the server RPC broadcasts that client as a new user to existing connections (including the new clients connection).
  • The existing user list is also sent to just that new connection only (target RPC).
  • Clients sends chat messages just to the server (uses broadcast type as target can only be the server).
  • When the server receives chat messages he RPC broadcasts it to all connections, including the sender which will then show his own message in the chat window.
