    hi, i'm creating a multiplayer race game using pun cloud
    So here is question 1: i want players to type a name and then display that name above the players and in the chat.
    and question 2: in multiplayer mode, you see players bumping and teleporting, so i watched the video about creating a fps multiplayer, then episode 6 about smoothing the network, but than he crashed unity completely
    what to do about it?

    thanks

    Rens

    1) you let player select their name, then associate it with photon player name, then when their character is instantiated, add a gui text parented to them which receive this name
    2) restart unity
