Simple steps for making your own top-down multiplayer scene from the Free Photon AngryBots Example<\/p>\n

Start:
\n<\/strong>– Download this: http:\/\/u3d.as\/content\/exit-games\/photon-angry-bots-demo\/2i9<\/a>
\n– Import it to a empty project
\n– You need to register for the free account: http:\/\/cloud.exitgames.com\/<\/a>– Then from your account, Application Dashboard, you need to create new app
\n– Get the app ID
\n– Paste it to Unity (in Window \/ Photon unity networking : Settings : Your app ID ________________________ ) *Note: You need to trim extra leading or trailing spaces from the app id yourself, otherwise it wont work<\/p>\n

Steps<\/strong>:
\n1.<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Open scene \u201d2_AngryBots_MP\u201d
\n2.\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0 \u00a0Save your new scene as \u201c2_MyGameScene_MP\u201d
\n3.\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0 \u00a0Delete \u201cEnvironment(static) \u201c, \u201cEnvironment(semi-static)\u201d, \u201cEnvironment(sounds)\u201d, \u201cEnvironment(dynamic)\u201d, \u201cMoodBoxes\u201d, \u201cMisc\u201d
\n4.\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0 \u00a0Create plane, 0,0,0 size: 100,1,100 (now player wont fall)
\n5.<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Create box (or empty gameobject ) at 0,0,0 (we use this as spawnpoint), Set tag to: Spawnpoint
\n6.<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0From main camera, Disable script: Quality Manager
\n7.\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0 \u00a0From main camera, Delete script: \u201cReflectionFx\u201d (so we get rid of the error..)
\n8.\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0 \u00a0Some error from footsteps (it wants to check what material it hits?)
\n“NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
\nMaterialImpactManager.GetPlayerFootstepSound (UnityEngine.PhysicMaterial mat) (at Assets\/Scripts\/Managers\/MaterialImpactManager.js:28)”
\nTemporary fix: Open \u201cFootstepHandler.js\u201d, comment out lines:
\n\/\/ sound = MaterialImpactManager.GetPlayerFootstepSound (physicMaterial);
\n\/\/audioSource.pitch = Random.Range (0.98, 1.02);
\n\/\/audioSource.PlayOneShot (sound, Random.Range (0.8, 1.2));
\n\/\/sound = MaterialImpactManager.GetMechFootstepSound (physicMaterial);
\n\/\/sound = MaterialImpactManager.GetSpiderFootstepSound (physicMaterial);
\n9.<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Error:
\nNullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
\nMaterialImpactManager.GetMaterialImpact (UnityEngine.PhysicMaterial mat) (at Assets\/Scripts\/Managers\/MaterialImpactManager.js:48)
\nMaterialImpactManager.GetBulletHitSound (UnityEngine.PhysicMaterial mat) (at Assets\/Scripts\/Managers\/MaterialImpactManager.js:43)
\nAutoFire.Update () (at Assets\/Scripts\/Weapons\/AutoFire.js:56)
\nTemporary fix:\u00a0\u00a0 Comment out these lines from \u201cAutoFire.js\u201d
\n\/\/ Ricochet sound
\n\/\/var sound : AudioClip = MaterialImpactManager.GetBulletHitSound (hitInfo.collider.sharedMaterial);
\n\/\/AudioSource.PlayClipAtPoint (sound, hitInfo.point, hitSoundVolume);
\n11.<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Now to camera.. Open \u201cPlayerMoveController.js\u201d
\nFind line:
\nvar cameraTargetPosition : Vector3 = character.position + initOffsetToPlayer + cameraAdjustmentVector * cameraPreview;
\nComment it out, add new line (to keep our\u00a0 camera directly on top of the player)
\nvar cameraTargetPosition : Vector3 = character.position + new Vector3(0,15,0);
\n12.<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0!Note: If you want to test the game, in build settings you need to set all the levels to the Build List
\n0_Preloader
\n1_BeginScene
\n2_MyGameScene _MP
\n3_EndScene<\/p>\n

Cleaning up the loading \/ lobby screen<\/strong>
\n–\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Open scene \u201c0_Preloader\u201d
\n–\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Delete all the logos
\n–\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Open scene \u201c1_BeginScene\u201d
\n–\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Delete all the logos
\n–\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Select Main Cameram, there is Main Menu:\u00a0 You can set \u201cMainLogo\u201d image
\n–\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Open MainMenu.cs:\u00a0 You can set your game & room names here
\n–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Done<\/p>\n

*Misc Notes:<\/strong>
\n– My photon networking stopped working for a while after closing unity and coming back later.. Just kept trying for a while, restarted unity few times and it started working..(?)
\n– No idea how to remove photon apps from the list..
\n– Most of the unity photon tutorials \/ links & demo packages seems to be broken..oO?
\n– One problem with the angrybots photon example: Monsters are already in the scene..(so if player#1 has killed some monster, and other player joins, he still sees the mobs..), you need to create spawning system..
\n– By default unity 4.x seems to have in Physics settings: [x] Raycast hits triggers, disable that (otherwise your bullets hit the enemy activeradius trigger spheres)<\/p>\n
