    Title: How destroying network instantiated objects in Remastered is supposed to work?
    Forge Version: v11.5
    Forge Type: Remastered
    Type: General
    Origin: Slack
    Answer:
    The best example of this is in the example of Remastered for ForgeCubeGame.

    In the NetCam.cs script, you will see that if you hold down left/right shift and click a cube (line 85-89) , it will destroy the primitive that it has hit by calling the CubeForgeGame.Instance.DestroyPrimitive(object).

    In the CubeForgeGame.cs line 164, you will see that an RPC is being called to make sure all other clients destroy it as well.

    Inside the NetCam.cs script, you will notice on line 38 that it will make sure to cleanup the NetCam object as well when it has been destroyed on the Network.

    Title: How do I get Remastered Alpha access?
    Forge Version: X
    Forge Type: Remastered
    Type: General
    Origin: Reddit
    Answer:
    Getting access to the slack chat is relatively simple, just go to the register page on Forge Networking and register your invoice under your account. After doing so you will receive an email (might be in your spam box) with an invitation to Slack.

    So just make sure you have your invoice ready and you'll be set.

    Also once you get into Slack feel free to ping me (@brett) to get an invite to the Remastered version.
