Is it possible to get the time since the room was made ?

Paradoks

Hi all,

Is there a way to get the time since the room was made ?
I need it to syncronize my creeps waves when the masterClient leaves the game.

Thx

Could you not just start a basic timer ? And use the values of that? Something like this maybe....

float timer = 0;

void Update()
{
     timer += Time.deltaTime;
     if(timer => 300)
     {
           WaveSpawn();
           timer = 0;
     }
}

Would something simple like this not work for you?

thx for the answer, but my problem is : cant let the clients/players make the timer as they will probably not connect at the same time.
so if the master client leaves and the second has connected 30sec later the game, the timer will not spawn at +45 but +15, thats why i need a way
to get a room oriented timer.

Hi,

Take a look at InRoomRoundTimer.cs located in PUN UtilityScripts folder.
It uses PhotonNetwork.time property.

Hi,

i do that :
void Start(){
beginningPhotonTime = (int)PhotonNetwork.time;
}
void Update(){
timeSinceBegining = (int)(PhotonNetwork.time - beginningPhotonTime);
}

I hope it helps someone else.

You will need to sync that value. In the InRoomRoundTimer.cs, we put such a value into the room properties.
When another player joins quickly after creating the room, then the property is maybe not yet set. So make sure your client reacts to newly-set properties and re-checks it's local time.
