Learn how to make a Multiplayer game in Unity 6.3 using Netcode for GameObjects package. In this video we will learn about synchronizing game state using NetworkVariables. We'll explore how to handle shared objects like tools in a multiplayer environment and understand the difference between NetworkVariables and RPCs. This will help us build a solid foundation for interactive objects that work correctly for both connected clients and late-joiners.

In this episode we will:

- Understand when to use NetworkVariables vs RPCs for synchronization
- How to use NetworkVariables to store objects availability
- Learn about the OnValueChanged event for real-time updates
- Handle late-join synchronization in OnNetworkSpawn
- Set up the foundation for pickable tools and resources
