[UNET] Dynamically position NetworkStartPosition Gameobjects
Hi,
I am trying to dynamically change the position and amount of the NetworkStartPosition objects in my game scene depending on the max players set in the Network Lobby Manager. The idea is I will have matches that will allow either 2, 3 or 4 players and I want the spawn positions to be positioned around a large circle in my scene as per the image below respectively.
Can this be done on an Awake() method or OnStartServer() of a 'Spawner' object and then use the RoundRobin spawning method? I guess I could load a different scene depending on the Max Players but that doesn't seem like the best way of doing it.
I would really appreciate any help or suggestions.
Does anyone have an idea of how I can instantiate NetworkStartPosition Gameobjects on level start and use the round robin spawn method to spawn my players?
Something like this should work... just set number of players and call generateplayers() function somewhere
int NumberOfPlayers;
Vector3 playerPosition;
float radiusOfOuterCircle;
void GeneratePlayers(){
for (int i = 0; i < NumberOfPlayers; i++) {
float positionOfPlayerOnOuterCircle = i*1.0f / NumberOfPlayers;
//converting it to PI value Mathf.PI*2 ~= 6.28
float Angle = positionOfPlayerOnOuterCircle * Mathf.PI * 2;
float X_position = Mathf.Sin (Angle) * radiusOfOuterCircle;
float Y_position = Mathf.Cos (Angle) * radiusOfOuterCircle;
Instantiate (yourPlayerPrefab, new Vector3 (X_position, Y_position, 0), Quaternion.identity);
}
}
Hey, Thank you for the response. That is an awesome method that I will probably use, but it doesn't answer my specific question around UNET. Does anyone know if I can alter this method to instantiate NetworkStartPosition prefabs on the server before any clients connect?
I managed to do this by dynamically generating the NetworkStartPositions. Attach this script to an empty gameObject on your scene:
public class DynamicStartPositions : MonoBehaviour
{
void Awake ()
{
int count = NetworkLobbyManager.singleton.maxConnections;
for (int i = 0; i < count; i++) {
float slice = 2 * Mathf.PI / count;
float angle = slice * i;
float x = Mathf.Cos (angle) * GameManager.arenaRadius;
float y = Mathf.Sin (angle) * GameManager.arenaRadius;
var go = Instantiate (new GameObject (), new Vector3 (x, y, 0.0f), Quaternion.identity);
go.transform.parent = this.transform;
go.AddComponent<NetworkStartPosition> ();
}
}
}
