Networking GameManager/GameState Sync
Hello Everyone,
I am new to Unity Networking and networking in general. I have a prototype game I created and would like to add in multiplayer. My issue is that I currently have a GameManager that controls and stores all the info for the current game. When I have a client connect to my host, the client GameManager does not have the correct game info and do to the lack of variable types RPC's can send I don't know of a way to fill out the client side GameManager's info.
I would like to know if there is a way I can transfer my GameManager data to the clients or if there is a way I can just access the server GameManager and not worry about the clients manager at all.
Thank you in advance and if you need more info on this problem please ask.
I think the way is to adapt some GameManager variables to be compatible with RPC's variables types. By my experience RPC's variables types are enough for any logical needs. I am using something similar and all works well; when a RCP type doesn't exist I simple store lists with integer index, send index with RPC and read and apply values on targets by the integer index.
Hey Nastasache,
Thanks for the reply, I did try this out on my own but I cant seem to get it correct.
I have a List of GameObjects(tile$$anonymous$$ap) that have a script attached to them. They all have a NetworkView attached and are set to reliable.
I created an RPC that will send over the viewID and just for now the tileID for each tile.
networkView.RPC ("SetTiles", RPC$$anonymous$$ode.AllBuffered, floorList[index].networkView.viewID, floorList[index].GetComponent<FloorCubeScript1>().floorID);
Then on the client side when I receive the call I get all tile objects in the scene and check for the matching viewID's.
[RPC]
void SetTiles(NetworkViewID viewID, int floorID){
GameObject[] floor = GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag ("Floor");
GameObject go = null;
FloorCubeScript1 newTile, oldTile = null;
for(int index = 0; index < floor.Length; ++index){
if(floor[index].networkView.viewID == viewID)
{
go = floor[index];
go.GetComponent<FloorCubeScript1>().floorID = floorID;
floorList.Add (go);
}
}
}
The issue now is that I can not access the client sides tile script member vars to set them up with the server side info that i am passing over.
I get a $$anonymous$$onoDev. error:
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
I never saw this error. Looks related with virtual machines. Do you have installed Unity on a V$$anonymous$$? As your your code, I see no reason not to work.
No I do not run on a V$$anonymous$$. This is really bothering me as I thought this should work and your answer reaffirmed that but this is beyond me.
