Sync infinite terrain between players?

dcmrobin

So I have a world where "chunks" (flat cube prefabs) spawn all around the player. On these chunks, I have a random chance to spawn a rock or something. This is where the problem occurs. Player 1 sees a rock at point A, and player 2 sees a rock not at point A, but at point B. When I tried using photonNetwork.instantiate, this (since there's a world gen script on all players) would generate a rock at both point A and point B. Is there a way to fix this? Maybe have just one world generator script in the scene that generates terrain for both players?

PN.Instantiate won't work for this. It doesn't scale to this size.

To just have synced terrain, use a deterministic generator and sync the seed per chunk. We've got a basic Procedural Demo for this.

Keep in mind that PUN is in maintenance mode and we'd recommend Fusion anytime you work with a lot of objects and could use effective synchronization of values.

Thanks again Tobias!
