Having trouble with Photon and learning it.

Hi there,

I am very eager to learn Photon server and to get my own little demo running, however I am having a hugely hard time getting my head around it and using it.

I've dove around in the tutorials and tried my best to follow the server ones but I find them quite tricky and always run into a problem, so far the cloud has been very easy and friendly to use but I can't get my head around the server.

It would be very cool if somone were able to help me simply create a server that receives a message from Unity then relays it back to the user. I would very much like to create this from scratch, rather than with the demos such as lite lobby as it will help me understand it better.

Thanks in advance!

  • Maybe the "Hello World" Server doc shows what you're looking for:

    Alternatively I'd propose to actually start with Lite and having a look at how it implements Raise Event. This is the central operation which does what you're looking for.
    We don't have too extensive server docs, aside from that and the "Adding Operations" doc. Hopefully one helps.

    When you're stuck, feel free to post questions in the Server forum.
