[c#] Basic Network data sending / receiving
Hello there !
I'm doing some tests with Networks and i need some help on the basics data sending/receiving.
What i want to do is to store a player's name into an array when this player connect to the server. I already have a working connection to the server, but i don't really understand how i can send data to the server (like a string or an integer). I tried to use RPC, but i got an error.
private string[] sPlayersNames = new string[Constantes.MAX_PLAYERS]; //i want the player's name stored here (server side)
private string sPlayerName; //this is the variable that contain the player name (client side)
NetworkView nvNetworkView = new NetworkView();
void OnConnectedToServer()
{
Debug.Log ("Successfully connected to server !");
//Here, i want to send the name of the player
nvNetworkView.RPC ("SetName", RPCMode.Server, sPlayerName); //error here
}
[RPC]
void SetName(string sName)
{
sPlayersNames[iPlayerCount] = sName;
Debug.Log("Name recieved !");
}
I got the following error (client side) :
NullReferenceException UnityEngine.NetworkView.RPC (System.String name, RPCMode mode, System.Object[] args) (at C:/BuildAgent/work/7535de4ca26c26ac/Runtime/ExportGenerated/Editor/Networking.cs:383) NetworkManager.OnConnectedToServer () (at Assets/Cs/NetworkManager.cs:94)
May somebody help me with that ?
Please escuse me if the question has already been asked. Thanks for your time.
Have a wonderfull day/night :)
Hello,
Your problem is, that you are treating a NetworkView as a standard class, when in fact, it is a component (An extension to MonoBehaviour).
Although it compiles fine, you can't simply go new NetworkView(). Instead I suggest manually adding a NetworkView to the object and building the reference from GetComponent.
You should also add @script RequireComponent(NetworkView) so that you will never forget to add it again ;)
Hope this helps,

Just as a note, It's smart to look at some tutorials of how these things work, before asking questions like this :)
TBO I just read the first 3 lines of your code and answered the question. I never read anything else
