How to pass variables in a Network using RPC function(s)
This should be an easy question to anyone who tried to make a Multiplayer game;
Please, can anyone tell me in a clear way how to use RPC functions?
From what I understood about it, the RPC function works like this;
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
public class ExampleRPC : MonoBehaviour {
int number = 120; //the number I want to send to another machine using RPC.
public static bool somethingHappens = false;
// Use this for initialization
void Start () {
}
// Update is called once per frame
void Update () {
if(somethingHappens){ //If anything happens that makes this variable true:
networkView.RPC("CallThisFunctionWithRPC", RPCMode.All, number); //Send the variable to anything that has a "CallThisFunctionWithRPC" function(?)
}
}
[RPC] void CallThisFunctionWithRPC(int newNumber){ //The function
//And here? How do I tell in this function to make the "number" of the old machine become the "number" of the new machine?
number = newNumber; //(?)
}
}
I already tried doing this and it didn't work, the variable was 120 all the time even if I changed it ingame, the 2 variables on the 2 different builds were not synchronyzed.
That's because the int "number" is a private int only for ExampleRPC. I'm guessing that when you change it inGame you change a differnt private int in a different class.
The RPC setup is fine.
Yes, actually I succesfully synchronized the 2 variables by adding a few lines of code:
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
public class ExampleRPC : $$anonymous$$onoBehaviour {
int number = 120;
public static bool somethingHappens = false;
// Use this for initialization
void Start () {
}
// Update is called once per frame
void Update () {
if(somethingHappens){
number = 300;
}
if(Network.isServer){
networkView.RPC("CallThisFunctionWithRPC", RPC$$anonymous$$ode.All, number);
}
if(Network.isClient){
CallThisFunctionWithRPC(number);
}
}
[RPC] void CallThisFunctionWithRPC(int newNumber){
number = newNumber;
}
}
$$anonymous$$aybe calling the RPC function every frame is not the best solution, but it works for me, thank you for answering my question even if you didn't really help me.
