I can see them, but they can't

PeterAS17 · February 2015

Hello everyone,
I have a problem right here.
Basically, if I spawn in first place, I will see everybody, but if I spawn in second or third place (or even higher), I can't see anyone that spawned before me, I can only see everybody that spawns after me.

void Start(){
		SpawnPlayer ();
		if(!IsDebug){
			foreach(PhotonPlayer P in PhotonNetwork.otherPlayers){
				if(P.name != PhotonNetwork.playerName){
					Team = P.GetTeam();

					
					if(Team.ToString() == "red"){
						SpawnRand = UnityEngine.Random.Range (0, Alphasite.Length);
						PlayerGO = ((GameObject)PhotonNetwork.Instantiate ("Soldier_1", new Vector3(0,0,0),Quaternion.identity,0));
						PlayerGO.name = PlayerGO.GetComponent&lt;PhotonView&gt;().owner.name;
						TempTeam = "A";
					}else if(Team.ToString() == "blue"){
						SpawnRand = UnityEngine.Random.Range (0, Bravosite.Length);
						PlayerGO = ((GameObject)PhotonNetwork.Instantiate ("Soldier_1", new Vector3(0,0,0),Quaternion.identity,0));
						PlayerGO.name = PlayerGO.GetComponent&lt;PhotonView&gt;().owner.name;
						TempTeam = "B";
					}


					if(TempTeam == myplayer.GetComponentInChildren&lt;PlayerInfos&gt;().GetT ()){
						PlayerGO.transform.FindChild ("PlayerName").GetComponent&lt;TextMesh&gt;().text = PlayerGO.GetComponent&lt;PhotonView&gt;().name;
						PlayerGO.transform.FindChild ("PlayerName").gameObject.SetActive (true);
					}else if(TempTeam != myplayer.GetComponentInChildren&lt;PlayerInfos&gt;().GetT ()){
						PlayerGO.transform.FindChild ("PlayerName").GetComponent&lt;TextMesh&gt;().text = PlayerGO.GetComponent&lt;PhotonView&gt;().name;
						PlayerGO.transform.FindChild ("PlayerName").gameObject.SetActive (false);
						Debug.Log (myplayer.GetComponentInChildren&lt;PlayerInfos&gt;().GetT ());
					}
					(PlayerGO.transform.FindChild ("Main Camera").GetComponent&lt;Camera&gt;()).enabled = false;
					((MonoBehaviour)PlayerGO.GetComponentInChildren&lt;PlayerInfos&gt;()).enabled = false;
					PlayerGO.transform.FindChild ("Main Camera").GetComponent&lt;OtherPlayerInfos&gt;().enabled = true;
					PlayerGO.transform.FindChild ("Main Camera").GetComponent&lt;OtherPlayerInfos&gt;().SetInfos (PlayerGO.GetComponent&lt;PhotonView&gt;().owner.name,100,0, TempTeam);
					((MonoBehaviour)PlayerGO.GetComponentInChildren&lt;PlayerRaycastShowname&gt;()).enabled = false;
					((MonoBehaviour)PlayerGO.GetComponentInChildren&lt;FPSInputController&gt;()).enabled = false;
					((MonoBehaviour)PlayerGO.GetComponentInChildren&lt;MouseLook&gt;()).enabled = false;
					((MonoBehaviour)PlayerGO.GetComponentInChildren&lt;MouseLook&gt;()).enabled = false;
					((MonoBehaviour)PlayerGO.GetComponentInChildren&lt;SprintAndCrouch&gt;()).enabled = false;
					((MonoBehaviour)PlayerGO.GetComponentInChildren&lt;ShootPlayer_UZI&gt;()).enabled = false;
					(PlayerGO.GetComponentInChildren&lt;AudioListener&gt;()).enabled = false;
					((MonoBehaviour)PlayerGO.GetComponentInChildren&lt;GameManager&gt;()).enabled = false;
					PlayerGO.gameObject.SetActive (true);
				}
			}
		}
	}

Is there a way to correct this?
Thanks,

an RPC? RPC target OR ??

PeterAS17 · February 2015

No, I have no RPC... I don't understand how it works, so I tried to go around.

Hi,

It's hard to guess from your report what you are spawning.
Common practice is spawning things with PhotonNetwork.Instantiate method from prefab with PhotonView attached. Check PUN demos and Marco Polo tutorial

PeterAS17 · February 2015

Yes, I'm using PhotonNetwork.Instantiate to spawn objects and players, but people that are there before me don't spawn for me.

vadim · February 2015

Any errors or warnings in console? When PhotonNetwork.Instantiate is called?

PeterAS17 · February 2015

No, there's absolutely no errors...!

aanimation · February 2015

but if I spawn in second or third place (or even higher), I can't see anyone that spawned before me, I can only see everybody that spawns after me.

the problem is?

PeterAS17 · February 2015

I think it's very explicit...! xD
Basically:
Player 1 = X
Player 2 = Y
Player 3 = Z

X spawns.
Y spawns.
Z spawns.

X can see Y and Z.
Y can see Z but not X.
Z can't see neither Y nor X.

aanimation · February 2015

yeah..send the your codes

PeterAS17 · February 2015

It's called when the player joins the room...
EDIT: Added code to the first post.

PeterAS17 · February 2015

Bump

When do Start() get called?
What does SpawnPlayer() do?
Why not to try more simple span scheme w/o groups at first. After you make sure that it works, switch to something more complicated.
In general it looks quite strange that you instantiate player for each player in list. Usually one PhotonView.Instantiate() call per client required.

PeterAS17 · March 2015

It is called after the player joins the room and loads the level.
And SpawnPlayer() spawns a player...
I'll try to make it more simple to test then.

This happened to me once, you need to stop the buffered messages until you are in the level, add "PhotonNetwork.isMessageQueueRunning = false;" to void OnJoinedRoom() then run "PhotonNetwork.isMessageQueueRunning = true;" when you are in the level (put it in awake some where).

This happends because when you load a level all the buffered messages that are sent to the player joinning the room are lost when you load a new scene so the information about the instantiated objects is also lost.

I can see them, but they can't
