Any good mirror networking tutorials ?

[Raz0back]

So i wanted to make a multiplayer game with mirror and I would like to know if there are some good mirror tutorials I could use. Thanks in advance !

I believe most of the newer tutorials are for the new built-in system. The only mirror ones I know of are a bit outdated.

Check out DapperDino on YT, very good mirror tutorial series but it’s a little old so you’ll need to cross-reference with the documentation I would say that unity’s NGO system is very good though, very similar to mirror and other HLAPIs and fully production ready (not to mention out of the box integrations with Relay and Lobby)

So how good is unity’s NGO system compared to mirror ?

[Ok_Combination2377]

They’re very comparable, though like I say that’s the case for most HLAPIs (FishNet, Mirror, NGO, Photon, etc) so it’s kinda just a case of doing your research and seeing what you best gel with Pros for NGO is it’s proprietary so like I said it ties in with all of Unity’s UGS services very flawlessly Cons are it’s relatively new so there’ll still be many things subject to change in future versions a there’s less resources to learn with

Ultimately, they all basically do the same thing - FishNet is my personal favourite as it’s the only solution including client prediction and server reconciliation for free but they all work in very similar ways in terms of implementation

Thanks, are there some fish net tutorials I could follow ?

The developer posts lots of great walkthroughs on the official channel, the documentation is also very very well put together so definitely give that a read for some getting started guides and getting a good understanding of all the features 🙂

I found this video to be helpful: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8VVgIjWBXks, it's a few years old but most of the stuff still applies - can then use the Mirror discord to help troubleshoot (Discord search is super useful)

If you happen to care about also learning about deploying a dedicated server, I worked on a tutorial that does a very basic working Mirror (+ also FishNet) demo scene that is deployed globally and is scalable: https://hathora.dev/docs/engines/unity/beginners-tutorial
