Player respawns on every client join

jacksebben

I'm having this problem where players will respawn at spawn points every time a new player joins the room. This should happen only when they join, which it does. It also happens in a respawn RPC, but that isn't called until a player has already died. Any ideas why this happens?

In the start function

void Start()
		{
			if (photonView.IsMine)
			{
				SetPlayerTeam(gameInst.specString);
				transform.position = GameManager.instance.spawnPoints[Random.Range(0, GameManager.instance.spawnPoints.Length)].position;
				transform.rotation = GameManager.instance.spawnPoints[Random.Range(0, GameManager.instance.spawnPoints.Length)].rotation;
			}
		}

In the respawn RPC

void RespawnRPC()
		{
			SetRagdoll(false);

			if (photonView.IsMine)
			{
				transform.position = GameManager.instance.spawnPoints[Random.Range(0, GameManager.instance.spawnPoints.Length)].position;
				transform.rotation = GameManager.instance.spawnPoints[Random.Range(0, GameManager.instance.spawnPoints.Length)].rotation;

				if (!playerProperties.ContainsKey("state"))
				{
					playerProperties.Add("state", "alive");
				}
				playerProperties["state"] = "alive";
				PhotonNetwork.LocalPlayer.SetCustomProperties(playerProperties);
			}

			Cursor.lockState = CursorLockMode.Locked;
			Cursor.visible = false;
		}

Edit: Each player should only be moved to a spawnpoint every time they join a room. If any new player joins and spawns, any existing players are teleported to a spawnpoint (as if it is their first time joining). I've tried checking for local photon views, but that doesn't work. I've tried figuring out where the respawn comes from, but I can't pinpoint it. It seems that each players' Start() function runs twice, but that doesn't make any sense.

Hi,

can you put a debug log in your start function and check from where it's being called? this will likely shade some light as to what really happens.

The start function is called from the same player on the same client



Below is the debug code

Debug.Log("Called in Start from player " + PhotonNetwork.LocalPlayer.NickName + " and object " + gameObject.name);

Confusing, but 'yackseb' is the name of the local player, proven here:



The gameobject name is changed for the player.

Hi,

Good, now the question now is to look inside these two logs and see what code initiated the start() method.

- are you using some pooling system on top of pun?
- are you using pun classic or pun 2?

Bye,

I am not using any other pooling system and I am using PUN 2.

Thanks.

I also want to show some updated logs (if these help)



"SPAWNED" Log:
Runs in the player controller start function under photonView.isMine

"Properties changed" Log:
Runs in OnPlayerPropertiesUpdate function in a game manager

Hi,

can you check for these two property changes what is the path of code? where does they originate from? same with the debug logs.

Bye,

Jean
