Are you a Playmaker user? Or looking to pick up Playmaker because you heard it could help you when it comes to multiplayer networking? You've come to the right place!

For years, Photon PUN2 has been the only option for Playmaker users to build online multiplayer games. 

I started this Playmaker integration over a year ago (as of May 2023). At one point, I even gave up, because I thought it wouldn't be possible to build a COMPLETE Fusion integration for Playmaker. Or, at the very least, would be very difficult.

One day, I had an epiphony. If I limit the Playmaker integration to only utilize Fusion's "Shared" game mode, this project became much more doable.

So, be aware, Photon Fusion has three game mode types. Server, Host, and Shared. This integration is only designed to cover the 'Shared' mode. But, who knows. Maybe down the road, I may try experimenting with the other modes. 

If you're already a PUN 2 user, you may be wondering, "Is it worth switching to Fusion?" Let me stand up on my desk and shout "YES! YES! YES!". I have three big reasons that back me up on this.

1. I had a PUN2 project, that had a hard time staying in sync if someone with a poor computer, or poor internet joined. Moved the project over to Fusion, and those issues were gone! I can't promise you'll have the same experience, but personally, I will NEVER go back to PUN2 after that experience. I am 100% sold on Fusion.

2. PUN2 has a lot of abilities, that at least with the PUN2 actions available on the Ecosystem, Playmaker users couldn't take advantage of. One of the biggest, was it seemed like, the only reliable data we could send in an RPC was a string. It was super annoying having to convert data TO a string, or FROM a string.

3. More reliable Network Sync Variables! The following variable types can all be network sync using Playmaker:

• Array (In all the variable types listed below)
• Float
• Int
• Bool
• String
• Vector2
• Vector3
• Color
• Rect
• Quaternion
• Enum
