[Solved] PhotonServer Eventflow Problem

Kerozard

I am implementing my own event handling logic with a self-hosted server, since my authoritative game design has to go a bit beyond what Lite and LiteLobby have to offer. I am using Playmaker on the Unity-side and I want to catch all events in one place.

I fire a request in my Playmaker action. The request reaches the server just fine.

PhotonNetwork.networkingPeer.OpCustom(0, PhotonPackage, true);

On the server I work with the operationRequest, modify it and then send a response to the targeted client. This also works.

EventData response = new EventData(0, request);
            
peer.SendEvent(response, parameters);
peer.Flush();

The client is then supposed to catch the incoming event in a static class that distributes those events:

public static class PhotonManager {
    static PhotonManager()
    {
        PhotonNetwork.OnEventCall += ReceiveEvent;
    }

    private static void ReceiveEvent(byte eventCode, object content, int senderId)
    {
        // handle event
    }

    // other stuff
}

Sadly all I get is a fatal error when the event reaches the client.

Error. Unhandled event: Event 0.
UnityEngine.Debug:LogError(Object)
NetworkingPeer:OnEvent(EventData) (at Assets/Photon Unity Networking/Plugins/PhotonNetwork/NetworkingPeer.cs:1733)
ExitGames.Client.Photon.PeerBase:DeserializeMessageAndCallback(Byte[])
ExitGames.Client.Photon.EnetPeer:DispatchIncomingCommands()
ExitGames.Client.Photon.PhotonPeer:DispatchIncomingCommands()
PhotonHandler:Update() (at Assets/Photon Unity Networking/Plugins/PhotonNetwork/PhotonHandler.cs:76)

So what am I doing wrong? :-) Any hints are appreciated.

Okay, it was quite simple and I could have figured it out quicker.

Apparently using 0 (Zero) as EventCode is a bad idea, because only the EventCodes 1-199 will be forwarded to OnEventCall.
I thought everything below 200 was fine and so my enums defining the EventCodes started at 0. :-)

Thanks anyway. Awesome Product!

Oh. Sorry you ran into this! I'm glad you could find it relatively quick.
I am not sure why I only do the callback for event 1..199. I'll check things and make it more clear which codes can be used.

Kerozard

Not a problem. But thank you for responding anyway. I really appreciate that.

Tobias

I now changed the EventCallback to give you any eventCode < 200.
RaiseEvent in the client now also accepts 0..199 and logs a proper warning when an event is not acceptable and sent (but in your case, this would not have helped).
PUN 1.26 will have this change. Going to be released soon.
