Title: Mecanim over Tnet
Post by: chilly on June 01, 2013, 11:25:38 AM

since mecanim over network hasnt been that much clear over in unity forums,

was wondering if Tnet will make this process a little easier of clear to work with.

any plans on a sample video tutorial on how to work with mecanim and Tnet?

Mecanim is an animation system with a state machine, and TNet is a network library. As such, they are two very unrelated systems. It might help to know what you are trying to do.

animation synchronizations over the network using mecanim

I do not advise synchronizing animations. Animations are in visualization area. You should sync what would normally cause the animations to be triggered instead -- such as moving from A to B or jumping. For example instead of doing something like

1. if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Space)) Jump();

You should do:

1. if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Space)) tno.Send("Jump", Target.All);

Just don't forget to add the "RFC" tag in front of the jump function like so:

1. [RFC] void Jump() { ... }

Yes Chilly, this is exactly what we do successfully.  You only need to sync the animation triggers and everything will work fine.
