Network.Instantiate and NetworkServer.Spawn not working
Hi!
I'm trying to create a multiplayer game in Unity. I want to spawn a few cubes when the server starts, but nor Network.Instantiate nor NetworkServer.Spawn is working.
When I try to call Network.Instantiate() the error is "Failed Network.Instantiate because we are not connected."
When I use NetworkServer.Spawn(), the objects do get spawned, but they all have the same network viewID (0). If I try to allocate the viewId manually, I get the error that I should increase the minimum client networkViewId count. I don't have any other objects in the scene, and also I tried setting it to 500, but the error remains.
The script runs Server Only.
The script itself:
int itemsToSpawn = 6;
List<GameObject> itemPrefabs = new List<GameObject>();
void Start()
{
for ( int i = 0; i < itemsToSpawn; i++)
{
Network.Instantiate(itemPrefabs[random], position, location, 1);
}
}
I also tried OnStartServer() instead of Start(), did not change anything. itemPrefabs is a List of prefabs assigned throug the inspector, currently there is only a cube in it.
Also instead of Network.Instantiate, I tried using NetworkServer.Spawn(), like this:
int itemsToSpawn = 6;
List<GameObject> itemPrefabs = new List<GameObject>();
void Start()
{
for ( int i = 0; i < itemsToSpawn; i++)
{
GameObject item = (GameObject)Instantiate(itemPrefabs[random], position, location);
NetworkServer.Spawn(item);
}
}
Thanks for the help.
show us the code, we can't help with so few information
Please note if you are using Unet you need to register prefabs with the Network Manager script. You can find this area by looking under spawn info and there is a list called Registered Spawnable Prefabs. If it says you are not connected you are probably not local hosting or connected to a server which you would need to do to make the NetworkServer.Spawn(go); code work.
I already registered it as a spawnable prefab in the Network $$anonymous$$anager. And I am using the default Network $$anonymous$$anager HUD to start the game as a host, so that couldn't be the issue.
Try adding a network manager HUD script to it (built in)
I know this is a bit late, but all you need to do is create something like this:
[command]
void Cmd_SpawnItem(){
GameObject item = (GameObject)Instantiate(itemPrefabs[random], position, location);
NetworkServer.Spawn(item);
}
and just call that function from Start().
