Activate and deactivate object

iikii · June 2018

Hi, i have a really hard time figuring how to do this simple action of showing the activation and deactivation a gameobject such as my character's weapon that is a child of my character.

I searched it and there's no reliable help. I am sure this should be simple since I can't find anything to guide me.

Please do share on how to solve this, thanks.

Hello ,
If you want to activate/ deactivate gameobject on network I would suggest RPC calls such as this one below

[PunRPC]
    private void RPC_HandleWeapon(int playerViewID, bool active)
    {

        GameObject player = PhotonView.Find(playerViewID).gameObject;
    
        // get child by position 
        GameObject body = gameObject.transform.GetChild(0).gameobject;
         // get child by name
        GameObject wpn = player.transform.Find("Weapons").gameobject;

      
        weapon.SetActive(active);
    }

Thanks, i think i managed to make it work. I am using playmaker though.

BUT can i understand how to use 'broadcast to player' in my situation? I experiment with it alot and it always fail even though i gotten the player name and player gameobject right.
