Objective

Describing the actions needed to add multiplayer functionality to the Bootcamp Demo with Exit Games Photon.

The first thing we did was going through the game and making a list of all actions that need to be synchronized with other players. For Bootcamp, we came up with the following list:

1. Position of Player
2. Rotation of Player
3. Animations of Player in their different States
4. Action: Firing
5. Action: Reloading
6. Action: Crouching
7. Action: Aiming (including torso rotations)
8. Current Selected Weapon
9. Player Health
10. Player Death
11. Chat Messages
12. Joining the Lobby

This is something we definitely want to rethink for future implementations to avoid cheating. Crouch and Aim are treated differently than motion actions because they can be blended with them.

To handle all animation variants to be executed without sending a particular message for each animation, the following scripts were created for the local player:
