Stop certain objects being destroyed when player leaves

Reddevildragg · March 2018

Hi all
Just wondering if there is a way to stop objects being destroyed when players leave a room. I have build a system that can turn objects into network aware views at runtime and everything hooks up and moves/preforms correctly. I dont want these components to be destroyed when the person who make something network aware leaves the room.

I looked into using PhotonNetwork.autoCleanUpPlayerObjects = false however this then does not destroy anything (i still want their avartar to be destroyed just not their objects)

Because i am creating some of the views at runtime i can not sure the PhotonNetwork.InstantiateSceneObject() because the object already exists.

currently my solution is to when i create the objects through RPC's to assign an instantiationId and then manually clean up game objects using but this does not seem to work either as when a player then reconnects it creates the player that has left on the network.

	public void OnPhotonPlayerDisconnected(PhotonPlayer player)
	{
		if (PhotonNetwork.player.IsMasterClient)
		{
			if (GetComponent<PhotonView>().instantiationId == player.ID)
			{
				PhotonNetwork.Destroy(gameObject);
			}
		}
	}

wondering if there is a way i can mark a created network view to be controlled by the scene or make it so its not tied to the player that created the view.

Thanks

Ok so have now gotten somewhere else. I can checking when a player disconnects and dpoong the following:

if (PhotonNetwork.isMasterClient) //destroy all objects that need to be removed when the player leaves
{
List playerViews = new List();
foreach (PhotonView view in PhotonNetwork.networkingPeer.photonViewList.Values)
{
if (view !=null && view.CreatorActorNr == player.ID && !view.GetComponent().PresistAfterPlayer)
{
playerViews.Add(view);
}
}

foreach (PhotonView t in playerViews)
{
Debug.Log("Destroy : " + t.gameObject.name);

PhotonNetwork.RemoveRPCs(t);
PhotonNetwork.Destroy(t.gameObject);
}
}

this appears to be working and cleaning up the objects and not getting them to respawn when a new player connects. However i an now getting the following error whenever a new player connects after a previous player leaves "Ev Destroy Failed. Could not find PhotonView with instantiationId 1. Sent by actorNr: 0" with different instantiationId for each player number.

im guessing although i am removing RPC's the destroy is then added one back in or something but not 100% sure if this is the reason or not.

Thanks for any help
