I am trying to build my first online game using unity with photon, the data transfer between server and clients is implemented but I am facing a great problem; How/What should be transferred to synchronise the movement data?
My game has a lobby and may have as many as 20 people online at the same time if I pass the position of every players to server and then server to clients, I believe the server would be overloaded, wouldn't it?
Hence I think an other way is to pass the movement of characters:
1) only when a player presses a movement key, then pass it to server and other clients,
2) if the player releases the key, then pass the position for validation.
It is workable?
Will there any inconsistency between the clients?
I Hope someone can give me some advice, Thank you!
