Authority is a central concept in networking, and in coherence even more. We have an incredibly flexible authority model, and in this video we take a look at all the possibilities that it enables.
Here we cover the basic of Simulators, which is a "server" in coherence. You will find out how to build one, and how to create logic and code that run on it.
In June of last year we released coherence 1.0. Since then we’ve kept busy adding new features and tweaking existing ones. Here are some of the highlights:
Support for networking Nested Prefabs
This allows for setups where the networked entity is made up of other networkable entities. To start networking nested Prefabs, attach the PrefabSyncGroup component to your CoherenceSync Prefab.
Interpolation reworked
We improved metadata sent with each sample which allowed us to completely remove overshoot settings. Entities will still overshoot in the direction of travel in case of packet drops, but you don’t need to configure that anymore.
CoherenceSync and data types
We now support byte, sbyte, short, ushort and char. You’ll be able to see any public variables using the aforementioned types exposed on CoherenceSync’s Configure window.
Performance
We are always looking into ways to reduce the amount of CPU and memory requirements for coherence to run. So when it comes to your game(s): same results, but less resources spent.
