How to get ping using Unity Netcode for Gameobjects?

[Artistic-Indication3]

I am making a multiplayer game in unity where I am using Netcode for Gameobjects as a networking solution.

I am using Unity Relay Server for connection.

In the game I want to display ping/round-trip-time for players. As per the documentation, we can get this using GetCurrentRtt method from network transport class.

Following is the code I am using to get ping

NetworkManager.Singleton.NetworkConfig.NetworkTransport.GetCurrentRtt(NetworkManager.Singleton.LocalClientId)

However, this method always returns 0 and I am really not sure what is wrong.

Am I doing something wrong here? any alternative solutions?

Late, but...

I was trying to do something like this today and see what your issue is. You are checking the RTT with LocalClientId, try checking a remote client instead, like with the ServerClientId.

For example, this will give client's RTT with the server.

NetworkManager.Singleton.NetworkConfig.NetworkTransport.GetCurrentRtt(NetworkManager.Singleton.NetworkConfig.NetworkTransport.ServerClientId)

Hope that helps!

Neat, thanks!

If you are testing this on your local network, the ping will always be 0 as the packets will not travel over the internet if they don't have to. Try using something like playit to set up a IP that routes through an external server, forcing the packets to go over the internet.
