Welcome to the Netcode for GameObjects repository.

Netcode for GameObjects is a Unity package that provides networking capabilities to GameObject & MonoBehaviour workflows. The framework is interoperable with many low-level transports, including the official Unity Transport Package.

Visit the Multiplayer Docs Site for package & API documentation, as well as information about several samples which leverage the Netcode for GameObjects package.

You can also jump right into our Hello World guide for a taste of how to use the framework for basic networked tasks.

The most recent version of Netcode for GameObjects (v2) includes several improvements along with the more recent distributed authority network topology feature. You can find the source code for this on the develop-2.0.0 branch.

• The develop-2.0.0 branch incudes additional examples:
  • Netcode for GameObjects Smooth Transform Space Transitions
    • This example has plenty of parenting examples, parenting under moving bodies, smooth transitioning between two parents, and a basic example of path defined motion.
  • Ping Tool
    • This includes a custom Runtime Netwokr Stats Monitor that includes client to client message processing ping times.
