Having only one if the same gameobjects in a scene

Jalzu

Hi!

I am making a multiplayer game in unity for the first time and In the game I have a SpawnEnemies gameobject that spawns enemies. Here is the SpawnEnemies script:

using System.Collections;
     using System.Collections.Generic;
     using UnityEngine;
     using Photon.Pun;
     
     public class SpawnEnemies : MonoBehaviourPun
     {
         public GameObject enemy;
         public EnemiesLeftBarScript enemiesLeftBar;
         public PlayerController[] players;
         public int maxEnemies = 50;
         public static int enemiesLeft;
         public Transform[] SpawnPoints;
     
         private void Start()
         {
             enemiesLeft = maxEnemies;
             enemiesLeftBar = FindObjectOfType<EnemiesLeftBarScript>();
             enemiesLeftBar.photonView.RPC("SetMaxValue", RpcTarget.All, maxEnemies);
             StartCoroutine(SpawnEnemyCoroutine());
         }
     
         IEnumerator SpawnEnemyCoroutine()
         {
             players = FindObjectsOfType<PlayerController>();
             if (StartGameScript.gameIsStarted && enemiesLeft >= 0 && players.Length > 0)
             {
                 PhotonNetwork.Instantiate(enemy.name, SpawnPoints[UnityEngine.Random.Range(0, 4)].position, Quaternion.identity);
             }
     
             yield return new WaitForSeconds(1);
             StartCoroutine(SpawnEnemyCoroutine());
             StopCoroutine(SpawnEnemyCoroutine());
         }
     }

The problem that I am having is that when you play multiplayer there will be several SpawnEnemies gameobjects and more enemies than intended will spawn because of that. How could I fix that? I'd greatly appreciate any help.

Be aware that this script is loaded by any player. So multiple players in the room will load and execute it and thus spawn enemies.
A simple approach to solve this is to run some code only for the Master Client of a room.
