Authoritative PUN Server

[nisanb]

Hi,
The setup I made is that a master client is a game server hosted by me. Only servers that I initialize and creates rooms, thus being the Master client.

I'm trying to figure out what is the best starting point to make the movement of Opsive an authoritative movement.

Does the PUN addon already implements authoritative movement ? If yes, where can I view the relevant code snippet that does it ?
If not, where should I start ?

I saw some where that the Health are authoritative. Does that mean that hitting players is authoritative too ?


Thanks,
Nisan.

PUN is not authoritative so there isn't a way to make it so. When the Mirror add-on is released that will be authoritative.

Thanks for the reply Justin.

Why is PUN not authoritative ?
I could potentially make the Master client authoritative to others, considering he controls the movement of everyone?

There's a lot that goes into making a game authoritative and since PUN is not normally used for server authoritative games the PUN add-on doesn't include it. Things like client side prediction and server reconciliation are two major features that the add-on doesn't include.

Got it.
Any ETA on the Mirror Addon ?

Also, how hard would it be for me to integrate it myself?

I decided to go ahead and try using Forge Remastered game server solution.
