Bolt Instantiate - Sceneobject reference

SynterGames

Hello,
I have a small problem

I want to instantiate a bullet which moves forward (done)

But this bullet diesnt get the reference to the player (GameObject.find) doesnt work since theyre called all the same (Player Clone)

BoltEntity entity = Boltnetwork.instantiate....
Entitiy.getcomponent........... = player(is referenced in my gun object) doesnt work also, its just "nothing" in the editor window...

I need it to get the speed and damage from the player and to send the exp from the attacked object if it gets destroyed...

You are going to hit road blocks very quickly without understanding things like ownership (covered here http://doc.photonengine.com/en-us/bolt/current/in-depth/entity-ownership )

From what I can tell from your code snippet you are trying to reference a player, however this "player" variable who is the target of the shot will not be set in proxies, causing it to be null. You can either network this target using a token or setting the targets as a state property of the shot.

Can you clarify what you're trying to do?

public void Shoot() { foreach (Transform gunpvt in gunPivots) { BoltEntity shot = BoltNetwork.Instantiate(BoltPrefabs.Bullet, gunpvt.position, gunpvt.rotation); shot.GetComponent<BulletMovement>().player = player; }

Basically i am instantiating an bullet, which moves forward
And i want the "player" variable be assignet with the shooting player (Player)
But it tells me always "Object reference not set"

Is your game server authoritative? Is this code being run on the host and the client?

SynterGames

Ahm no idea
The server is a player... if that helps somehow...

Who owns players in your game, client or the host?

SynterGames

In short: i have no idea... just started adding stuff like transform replication and variables - nothing more

Tryed already to set it as entity state but that doesnt work either

But im going to look deeoer first in everything, its the best i think
