Nicknames not syncing? (PUN2)
Hey, I've been working on a VR multiplayer game and it's been going really smoothly until I came to changing the player's Nicknames, I'm not sure if I'm missing something but I'll try and explain what's going on: When the player loads up the game they're instantly put in a lobby, they can either join a room from the list or enter a code, just before they actually join a room I use Oculus' Platform API to get the player's username and set that as their photon nickname in this code here:
private void loggedInUserComplete(Oculus.Platform.Message<User> msg)
{ if (msg.IsError)
{ Debug.LogError("Could not get Oculus user name!");
PhotonNetwork.NickName = "Player_" + Random.Range(0, 9999); }
else
{ Debug.Log("GetLoggedInUser success! " + msg + "; message type: " + msg.Type);
if (msg.Type == Oculus.Platform.Message.MessageType.User_GetLoggedInUser)
{ Debug.Log("Oculus GetLoggedInUser success! Setting user name in game manager: " + msg.GetUser().OculusID);
PhotonNetwork.NickName = msg.GetUser().OculusID.ToString(); }
}
}
The only thing I've come up with is do I need to set the Nickname before joining a lobby? For some reason when the player's connect to the lobby, no matter whether they're the host or I am, their nickname is blank, on their photonViews, on their nametag and so on, but even when I'm not host or if I fail to get my Oculus username I still manage to have my name set either as a randomly generated 'Player_####' or as my oculus username depending on the situation. The only error that's thrown ever is the one I call when Oculus doesn't get a username. Does anyone have any ideas as to what is happening here? (edited)
