I see you are facing problems with multiplayer, let's fix that! Suggestions:
1- Make sure the host window is not minimized, the host is the server, you minimize the host, the server shutdown, so when you test the multiplayer, make sure both the host and the players windows are open side by side (just like in my YouTube Impostor Alert Template video). Note: you can also test the game with your friends.
2- Host a public lobby, and then check your firebase database, did a new ID showed up ? And when the other player open the game, does he see the public lobby in the list ?
3- In MainMenu scene, at the very event at the top, remove the actions (use ICE server) and (Disaple IP sharing), then try the game, we did this to make sure if the problem is caused from metered or not.
why their is no workers in the game is because preview is relatively buggy
Note: I did try this on multiple devices with all maximized pages, and then one with one single maximized page instead. On mobile, the joystick disappears too. Very odd..
When you click Create private lobby, and the host jump into the lobby, check your Firebase database private lobbies collection, and see if a new document is created that includes the short code, and inside of it a long code.
Make sure your Firebase database is built correctly (follow the video I mentioned or the step by step comments). Make sure you added your ICE server correctly (follow the comments i mentioned on how to use one).
For sure ! The template supports PC & Mobile as well ! You can try the template on your mobile anytime ! Even after releasing the game on app store or play store, the multiplayer is fully functional there as well.
Some objects are locked by me to not allow them to move. You can unlock them by doing these steps:
1- Click on this icon to open the instances list 2- In the instances list, you can search/select the object you want to unlock
3- Now you can move the object after it being unlocked.
Notes: This icon mean the object is unlocked and you can move it.
This icon mean the object is locked can't be moved but can be selected.
This icon mean the object is locked, can't be moved and can't be selected.
That's because your game is not linked to a Firebase database, nor ICT server, please follow the step-by-step tutorial I wrote in the comments to fix it. Main menu scene → first 2 comments from top.

Hey VegeTato!
So once in the actual game, it wont allow me to move. Is this a bug or server glitch and is their anyway to fix it?
Thanks
Hello :)
You should be able to move normally.
Make sure the Host window is not minimized.
If you still see the problem, please record a video (Creating host → join → start game → show bug) so i can get a deep look at the issue :3

Try again but do not maximize any window, just play in windowed mode on all screens.
Check the movement group events and make sure you didn't change the events that came with the template.
If the template is working fine to you, that means you might have changed the template events, so double check.
There are no workers spawned because the host window was maximized, like i mentioned, try with all windows windowed.
I tried it with all windows windowed, but to no avail.
Very sad :(
never mind i fixed it.
I just needed to add an object that i accidently deleted

Does multiplayer work well on mobile (IOS, Android)? once released on app store or play store ?
For sure !
The template supports PC & Mobile as well !

You should add public servers too as now IP is protected
Coming soon 😉
That's very good VegeTato. Great work
Thank you 😊
