PhotonNetwork.Disconnect() Problem

Jesper21

Hi.
I have a problem. I wanna load a level after getting diconnected from a room. But i can't do this

PhotonNetwork.Disconnect();
Application.Loadlevel();

Because if i do that, i doesn't disconnect fast enough and loads the level without getting disconnected. I also can't use this

void OnPhotonPlayerDisconnected()
{
    Application.Loadlevel();
}

Since that message only gets send to people inside the room that isn't disconnected. So i'm lost and can't find a logic to this one. Could use a timer, but if people lag or there is a server lag or something, that isn't gonna work. How could i make this?

There are two ways, depending on if you want to visualize it and how:

1. Use OnDisconnectedFromPhoton instead of OnPhotonPlayerDisconnected (see the Enums.cs file in the photon unity networking/plugins folder)

2. What you need to do is wait for connected to no longer be true and once thats the case you load the new level.
Below is a quick hacked together code, not sure if connected really is present like that as my PUN version ain't the stock one anymore but it should be simple enough to understand

public void SwitchLevel (string level)
{
  StartCoroutine (DoSwitchLevel(level));
}

IEnumerator DoSwitchLevel (string level)
{
  PhotonNetwork.Disconnect ();
  while (PhotonNetwork.connected)
    yield return null;
  Application.LoadLevel(level);
}

Thank you! Worked out perfect.
Have a lovely day

Oh that is why, ty

4 years later and luckily it still works flawless

public void OnDisconnectedFromPhoton()
{
Debug.Log("OnPhotonPlayerDisconnected");
}

thanks

If anyone is reading this in 2019, I have used this great answer to create a similar solution after the latest PUN2 upgrade v2.16

I've been struggling with this issue for the past 5 hours without any success, thank you so much, you are a Legend!

seven years later from this post and this helped with a problem i had today, disconnecting and reconnecting when the application goes into background, that coroutine rocks!

Am I missing something? When I do this I get stuck in the loop forever...

        PhotonNetwork.Disconnect();
        while (PhotonNetwork.IsConnected)
        {
            Debug.Log("In loop");
            yield return null;
        }
        SceneManager.LoadScene(0);

I can't break out of the loop.
