Client connects to server, but Network.peerType returns Disconnected until next click

Question

Hey all :)

I'm kinda new with all this Server-Client programming, so I followed some tutorials which gave me a basic idea of how to make it work, but now I have this really annoying problem

When I click a login button, it should run my Network.Connect("127.0.0.1", 2602); After this I should be online with my client, which is true, because I check for connections on my Server which tells me that I have one signed on, but the wierd thing is that when I print(Network.peerType); I'm given Disconnected, even though my Server says I'm connected. Next time I click the login button, it tells me I'm Client

Might it be because of my code that takes too much time to run?

function OnGUI(){

 if(!loggedIn){
 
     if(!registering){
     
         GUI.BeginGroup(new Rect(Screen.width/2 - 300, Screen.height/2 - 300, 600, 600));
         GUI.Box(new Rect(0,0,600,600),"Gladiator Wars");
         
         username = GUI.TextArea(new Rect(200,50,200,25),username);
         password = GUI.TextArea(new Rect(200,75,200,25),password);
         
         if(GUI.Button(new Rect(200,100,200,25), "Login")){
             
             Connect();
             
             print(Network.peerType);
             
         }
 
     }

}

function Connect(){

 if(Network.peerType == NetworkPeerType.Disconnected){
     
     Network.Connect("127.0.0.1", 2602);
 
 }
 
 if(Network.peerType == NetworkPeerType.Client){
 
     networkView.RPC("Login", RPCMode.Server, username, password, Network.player);
 
 }
 
 print(Network.peerType);

}

Network.Connect() needs some time to made connection.

Try to use :

 // For Server
     function OnPlayerConnected (player : NetworkPlayer) 
     {
         networkView.RPC("RequestLoginInfo" , player , true);
     }

 // For Client
     @RPC
     function RequestLoginInfo (loggedIn : boolean)
     {
        networkView.RPC("Login", RPCMode.Server, username, password, Network.player);
     }

or use function OnConnectedToServer () in client

Sorry, it's late to answer this, but google shows this link in first place when I search for "Network.peerType". For those people who came here looking for answer about this problem, it isn't a unity bug, just set "Run In Background = true" at Player Settings and "Network.peerType ==NetworkPeerType.Disconnected" is work fine.

Para quem está lendo em português, se não setar "Run In Backgroud = true" em Edit/Project Settings/Player e fizer testes locais em sua máquina conectando duas instâncias do jogo, a que tem o server estará em background quando o cliente conectar, e Network.peerType continuará == NetworkPeerType.Disconnected e os exemplos encontrados na net não funcionarão.

Espero ter ajudado.
