Everyone who is editing the code, if you are thinking of building(Compiling) the code, don't forget to select the "Mac Build Support" And "Linux Build Support" during Unity installation. You can't add it afterwards, unless you install the whole thing again. Just a note. 📔 I learned it the hard way 😢

[64bitpandas]

Also check out the "Update Time" wiki page to see the list of everything
you need to do during an update. I'll probably manage most updates, but
just to let you know how it's done :)

Um I am working on the server connection stuff but before I start I got some questions:
1)When you start up the game and press play game should there be a list of "rooms" to choose from and be able to create a room? Or just use matchmaking...

[64bitpandas]

I think we will just have a few rooms to start with, then switch to
matchmaking later in development.

Guys,
Remember to update unity to 5.3.4! If some of us are using 5.3.2 and others using 5.3.4 then we will have compatibility issues.

[64bitpandas]

We need a better way to integrate git into this unity project.

My proposal:
Commit ONLY scripts & other individual files. Do NOT edit any scene files
(.unity)!
Then, in the detailed commit comment (example of how to do this: git commit
-m"basic message" -m"This is a really long
message.....askjdfksjdkgshglkds") comment on how to integrate your files
into the scene (example: "drag onto player", "drag the greenTransform into
the script transform variable", etc.)

I will edit the scene and integrate all these commits together every few
days.

already, leave a comment here to be added. We will give you some more
information about the Unity Editor.

Okay I was working on the networking and I hit a few problems.
I guess we are not doing singleplayer are we?
Anyways to make a better easier smoother multiplayer, the player controller should use character controller not rigidbodies.
And, the main contoller should just genereate target coordinates for rotation and position which will sync over network.

[64bitpandas]

OK, that sounds good. CharacterController seems much simpler than
rigidbodies.
Also, character controller does not have gravity, right?

And what would be the best way to log the coordinates?

Character Controller does not have gravity. You have to manually move it to simulate gravity. Here is a question about it: http://answers.unity3d.com/questions/334708/gravity-with-character-controller.html

Also, @DarkFlamex1 , why do the controller have to generate the coordinates? Can't we just simply drag transform to observe?

[DarkFlamex1]

I was thinking we can predict the position or something else and send that
to a server object which calculates and does the movement.

Okay, I want to get something straight, are we going to code in a way to protect from hacking? Or will we just do it assuming no hackers? Cause if we just observer transform from client, a hacker can easily move around the map.

[64bitpandas]

Assume no hackers

@DarkFlamex1 Agreed. Just assume that there is no hackers. We can improve on it later.

[DarkFlamex1]

Okay, Um is there any way that we can get all the player scripts on the parent or something?

[DarkFlamex1]

Guess what, PLAYERS CAN SYNC POSITIONS!

[64bitpandas]

Nice!
I'll just fix a few small things and commit soon.
Also everyone please update Unity. Thanks :)

Open Unity, load the project. On the top bar, click "Help" -> "About Unity" On the top, if it doesn't say "Version 5.3.4f1" or higher, that means your build is outdated. Please download the new installer, and install the newest version. If you haven't been added to the organization, or the group chat yet, leave a message, and we will add you. Thanks. :)
Also, Please do git fetch origin develop , then git reset --hard origin/develop . If your local repo is outdated. And those 2 commands will ignore all local changes, and get the newest commit. If for some reason those 2 doesn't work, do git pull --rebase origin develop

I fixed the map and player to use the ones we've been working on. It works
pretty much the same as the testmap/testplayer Vikram made (I think). I
also re-enabled the GUI. Since the select teams buttons aren't done, just
press the escape key to start playing.

Sounds Good!

[EnumC]

@bencuan Just a thought, wouldn't it be better to get the game working? For example, how the towers will deduct x amount of xp. And how the players can win/score points, etc?
