Can I make local multiplayer with Playmaker? And play with 4 controllers.

Can I make a local multiplayer with Playmaker? I want to do a competitive multipayer game. The kind of game, you will play with your friends in the same room at console, not online. In Playmaker, I understand you can set server online, but I want to play local. Maybe I just don't get the multiplayer system of Playmaker.

Hi,

 For local players, you will need a plugins for that, to enabled device connections with going true internet.

 Have you looked in the asset store for such system?

Woah! crazy, I was just looking at how I can do this (and networked async - turnbased games using Photon :S) creating the actions doesn't look too hard. Hmmmm

Hi Jean Fabre.

One of your link is about IOS and the other Android Bluetooth. Is it implementable on a PC game of a console game? They have somes big differences between IOS and PC multiplayer. First difference: players don't play on the same screen. Second difference: Controller wasn't plug on the same device. Is it have a other plugin, who will (more) meet my need? Is it easily implementable in Playmaker environment?

Hi,

 You will need some plugins in all your cases, the question will be then to create the requires custom actions to control them within playmaker.

 I don't have much experience on P2P so I can't really tell you more about how practically this is going to happen.


 Bye,
