RPC not syncing object status

tomahawk

Hi all,
I am new to Photon/RPC and I got this noob issue below.
on my first scene, after the player is instantiated, I also instantiate his weapon on a separate script.
The problem is that only the local player can see the weapon. The other players can't see it although I am calling the RPC method to broadcast this weapon instantiation.

Does anyone know the issue here? THanks a lot

void Start()
    {
        if(photonView.IsMine)
        transform.GetComponent<PhotonView>().RPC("SimpleGun", RpcTarget.AllBuffered);
    }
 
    [PunRPC]
    void SimpleGun()
    {
        weaponContainer = GameObject.Find("WeaponContainer");
        primaryWeapon = Instantiate(Resources.Load("machineGun"), weaponContainer.transform.position, weaponContainer.transform.rotation) as GameObject;
        primaryWeapon.transform.parent = weaponContainer.transform;
    }

If every Player has a GameObject called WeaponContainer, this would not work since GameObject.Find will always find the same. Maybe thats the problem.

thanks for the feedback Oliver,
I modified the weaponContainer to get the value from this function below:

hence, weaponContainer = GetLocalWeaponContainer(), but still does not work

GameObject GetLocalWeaponContainer()
    {
        GameObject[] weaponContainers = GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag("WeaponContainer");
        foreach (GameObject weaponContainer in weaponContainers )
        {
            if (weaponContainer .GetComponent<PhotonView>().IsMine)
            {
                return weaponContainer;
            }
        }
        return null;
    }

Why you not just make a field an drag n drop the Container into the slot on the inspector?

Nice tip! implemented

anyhow, each player on the scene (2 for example) are still unable to see each others weapon. Find the full code below...

(with this code below I am getting an error on the "primaryWeapon.SetActive" line, but does not make sense for me as the prefab was instantiated...

UnassignedReferenceException: The variable primaryWeapon of WeaponSetup has not been assigned.
You probably need to assign the primaryWeapon variable of the WeaponSetup script in the inspector.

public Transform weaponContainer;
    public GameObject primaryWeapon;

    void Start()
    {
        PlayerSelection();
        if (photonView.IsMine)
            transform.GetComponent<PhotonView>().RPC("SimpleGun", RpcTarget.AllBuffered);
    }

    [PunRPC]
    void SimpleGun()
    {
        primaryWeapon.SetActive(true);
    }
    
    void PlayerSelection()
    {
        primaryWeapon = Instantiate(Resources.Load("machineGun"), weaponContainer.transform.position, weaponContainer.transform.rotation) as GameObject;
        primaryWeapon.transform.parent = weaponContainer.transform;
        primaryWeapon.SetActive(false);

    }

Any luck? I'm trying to figure this out as well.

Is the PlayerSelection() called for everyone in every client?
It looks like the weapon is created locally, as you are not PhotonNetowrk.Instantiate().

you should use PhotonNetwork.Instantiate instead of Instantiate. this should solve your problem
