Multiple master clients!

goduphi

Hello people and I hope everyone is in good health. I have just started following the tutorial for creating a multiplayer using Photon 2 on Unity. The problem that I have is that I seem to have multiple master clients. I am following the documentation for creating the game and I am currently at Demos and tutorials->PUN basic tutorials->4 - Game manager and level.

First I run an instance of the game on the Unity editor and then run a build on my pc. I hit play on the unity editor and I get all of the wonderful successful connection messages and whatnot. When I do the same thing on my other build, I see that the player name pop up as I have a debug message inside of public override void OnPlayerEnteredRoom(Player other);

This is basically the code:

public override void OnPlayerEnteredRoom(Player other)
{
Debug.LogFormat("OnPlayerEnteredRoom() {0}", other.NickName); // not seen if you're the player connecting

if (PhotonNetwork.IsMasterClient)
{
Debug.LogFormat("{0}, OnPlayerEnteredRoom IsMasterClient {1}", other.NickName,
PhotonNetwork.IsMasterClient); // called before OnPlayerLeftRoom
LoadArena();
}
}

The problem is, the second instance should not be the master client, correct? The Unity editor should be the master client and apparently it is, but when I connect the second client, I see a message go like '... True' the true standing form PhotonNetwork.IsMasterClient which is odd. This implies that the second build is also a master client and even the documentation says that the LoadLevel() method should only be called by the MasterClient and I can see the level load up twice which implies again, both the builds are master clients. Any help would be well appreciated. Thank you.

Can you please post it in code because i cannot understand the code

Yes, of course!

public override void OnPlayerEnteredRoom(Player other)
{
     Debug.LogFormat("OnPlayerEnteredRoom() {0}", other.NickName); // not seen if you're the player 
     connecting

     if (PhotonNetwork.IsMasterClient)
     {
          Debug.LogFormat("{0}, OnPlayerEnteredRoom IsMasterClient {1}", other.NickName,
          PhotonNetwork.IsMasterClient); // called before OnPlayerLeftRoom
          LoadArena();
     }
}

Are your editor and build in the same room?

I think they are as when I load one game, it automatically reloads the other. Is there an explicit way of forcing all of the clients to be in one room?

S_Oliver

One client creates a room the other joins room. Check out the pun 2 tutorials for that basic stuff.

I guess I'll re-read it because I probably did something wrong even though I tried to follow it to the point, but still getting this weird behavior. Thank you though.
