SetInterestGroups doesn't do anything

Rolfinator

Hi,

I'm quite new to Photon, but I want to optimize the number of messages.
I'm trying to make my playerController instances only listen to specific groups, but whatever i do, other players are still listening to all movements even if they are in 2 separate channels.

What am I missing here? or is the OnPhotonSerializeView send to channel 0? how can i remove that?

Many thanks!

void Update()
{
	if(!PV.IsMine)
		return;

    int channel = (int)PV.InstantiationData[1];

    List<byte> disable = new List<byte>(0);
    List<byte> activeCells = new List<byte>(0);

    if(channel == 1)
    {
        Debug.Log("channels: 1");
        activeCells.Add((byte)1);
        disable.Add((byte)2);                
        PhotonNetwork.SetInterestGroups(disable.ToArray(), activeCells.ToArray());
    }
    if(channel == 2)
    {
        Debug.Log("channels: 2");                
        activeCells.Add((byte)2);
        disable.Add((byte)1);                                
        PhotonNetwork.SetInterestGroups(disable.ToArray(), activeCells.ToArray());
    }

    move()
}

void FixedUpdate()
{
    
    if(!PV.IsMine)
        return;

    move();
}

public void OnPhotonSerializeView(PhotonStream stream, PhotonMessageInfo info)
{
    if (stream.IsWriting)
    {
        stream.SendNext(this.rb.position);
        stream.SendNext(this.rb.rotation);
        stream.SendNext(this.rb.velocity);
    }
    else
    {
        networkPosition = (Vector2) stream.ReceiveNext();
        networkRotation = (Quaternion) stream.ReceiveNext();
        rb.velocity = (Vector2) stream.ReceiveNext();

        float lag = Mathf.Abs((float) (PhotonNetwork.Time - info.SentServerTime));
        networkPosition += (rb.velocity * lag);
    }
}

Hi @Rolfinator,

Thank you for choosing Photon!

What am I missing here? or is the OnPhotonSerializeView send to channel 0? how can i remove that?

Did you try changing PhotonView.Group? it sets the target interest group for that PhotonView.
