PhotonNetwork.Instantiate teleports objects for other clients

Pav

Merry Christmas!

Wondering how I can improve this issue. My master client is ok with instantiating new objects into the game, however, the other players see it teleporting/flying to it's spawn location.

How would I fix this?

This is done on the master client.

GameObject asteroid = (GameObject)PhotonNetwork.Instantiate(someasteroid, spawnSpots.transform.position, spawnSpots.transform.rotation, 0);

Do you use an RPC for moving the asteroids or do you use send the position and rotation information over the network in OnPhotonSerializeView() ? Maybe you have forgotten to observe the script in the photonView?

Some more infos needed Could have many issues.

Pav

Asteroids have a networkscript "OnPhotonSerialize" and I am also observing the script in PhotonView.
Also observing the rigidbody2D in PhotonView.

Please show me the code of how you sync the objects

Here is what i use for update a position (don't forget to start the coroutine):

    Vector3 position;

    IEnumerator UpdateData() // start the coroutine in void Start
    {   
        while (true) // endless loop
        {
            transform.position = Vector3.Lerp(transform.position, position, Time.deltaTime * 10);
            yield return null;
        }
    }

    void OnPhotonSerializeView(PhotonStream stream, PhotonMessageInfo info) // you NEED to name it like this
    {
        if (stream.isWriting) // sending
        {
            stream.SendNext(transform.position);
        }
        else // reading
        {
            position = (Vector3)stream.ReceiveNext();
        }
    }

Compare this with your script.

You don't need to observe the rigidbody if you don't change the properties and if so, you should use rpcs for this anyway

What i don't get is that you spawn the asteroids at a spawn location and you see them flying through it?
So where are they spawning or what do you want to do with the asteroids? Are they spawning at vector3.zero , at the spawn points or at another place and you see them flying through the spawn points.

That's real similar to my code. I also included rotation though.

So my asteroids have a spawn point, but they spawn at Vector3.zero for other clients.
On masterclient, they spawn at the appropriate locations.

Pav

So they spawn/photonnetwork.instantiate at Vector3.zero for other clients and then "fly" to the proper spawn location.

Ah yeah now i got you. There is no problem with your sync etc. that's all fine. Try this code:

Make a private bool and call it bool initialLoad and set it to true than use this code (you can use this with the code from above):

        //...On first load we don't want to let the asteroid "fly to his correct position"
        if (initialLoad)
        {
            initialLoad = false;
            transform.position = position;
        }

This should fix the error

So something like this?

@Pav Nearly There you go: https://hastebin.com/ovesegufev.cpp

This is what i use and what works good for me

Pav

Perfect. That works
