- Formatted .cs files inside the Bitesize Samples repository to adhere to coding standards (#156) Internal testing job definition files were added in order for internal processes to execute.
- Added a script to handle NetworkObject parent changes on Ingredients to address a bug where Ingredients would not get stuck on client disconnect events (#136)
todo: the changelog entry for this sample will be updated with subsequent PRs before being merged when ready
- New Dedicated Game Server sample. (#1) This sample's goal is to demonstrate how to use the different tools and packages available to create a game using the dedicated server approach. It requires editor version 2023.3.
Added the Dynamic Addressables Network Prefabs Sample. This sample showcases the available use-cases for the dynamic prefab system, which allows us to add new spawnable prefabs at runtime. This would be useful for games trying to use both [Addressables](https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.addressables@0.8/manual/index.html) and Netcode for GameObjects (#63) (#94) (#96) (#97) (#98) (#99) (#100) (#101) (#103)
- Removing warning when spawning powerups (#90). Fixed the order in which powerups were spawned and when their NetworkVariable value was initialized. Now they are spawned beforehand.
- Fixing bullet explosion desync (#89). Bullet explosion vfx were happening too early on clients because of NetworkTransform's interpolation. Bullets are now no longer synchronised by NetworkTransforms and instead only have their velocity set through client rpcs when they are spawned. Since they are no longer interpolated, they are not lagging behind the server and are at the correct position when they receive the despawn message from the server.
- Third Person Character Controller integration with custom IP UI (#66) The sample has been refactored to feature a PlayerPrefab inside NetworkManager that is a networked variant of a prefab from [Unity's Starter Assets](https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/essentials/starter-assets-third-person-character-controller-196526). Other improvements include:
A new sample was added named client driven. It focus on client driven movements, networked physics, spawning vs statically placed objects, object reparenting
- Game - rename all our alien prefabs to have a more generic name, the same principle was applied to our codebase, renamed variables/fields/classes to something more generic
- Game: Fix a crash in shipping build
- Enemies: Rename our main enemy class to EnemyAgent + minor clean-ups + implement a grace shoot timer period
- InvadersGame: Some big refactories here, the UpdateEnemies function not outputs a set of flags (bitmask) rather than having separated booleans to keep track off
- InvadersGame: Fix an edge case of the game loop where if the enemies would reach the bottom they would never respawn, now when they do reach that bottom boundary it will be game over
- InvadersGame: Introduce additional game over reasons
- LobbyControl: Introduce a minimum player count variable that could be tweaked in the inspector so that the users can start playing in the editor with just the host in the lobby
- PlayerControl: Unified the NotifyGameOver function with the InvadersGame one + added different texts for all the possible game over reasons to be displayed
- PlayerControl: Fix a minor issue where the Player graphics are not hidden on all connected instances upon "death".
- Upon import a MissingReferenceException is triggered from within MLAPI: **"MissingReferenceException: The object of type ‘GameObject’ has been destroyed but you are still trying to access it.
Your script should either check if it is null or you should not destroy the object."** in:
