In This Video

• Attaching Unity prefabs to Quantum Entities
• Running Quantum online with Photon

New Quantum Features

• Runtime Player: Instantiating the RuntimePlayers in the UIRoom script (or any script that starts the QuantumRunner) is not necessary anymore. Look at the 1.1.8 to 1.2.0 migration note and the FAQ.
• Entity Prefab Root: Quantum 1.2.4 comes with a new error-based interpolator on the EntityPrefabRoot.

Further Readings

• Creating a new AppID: The current AppId creation process already comes with an activated Quantum plugin. Find more information about manual steps here: Quantum Plugin documentation.
• The additional Menu scene: There is a scene called MenuAuto.unity which can quickly create a room, join a room and start the Quantum game. It is useful for quick prototyping, removing the need to always manually fill out the room information. There is a small note about it on the Release Notes for version 1.2.3 RC1.
