Question by private void · Jul 18, 2013 at 12:36 PM · instantiatenetworkviewnetwork.instantiatenetworkviewid

networkView.viewID returning same for server and client

Hi, I'm sure I'm misunderstanding somet$$anonymous$$ng here.

I'm trying to create one player for each client, and server.

So I have an empty GameObject called "ScriptsContainer" w$$anonymous$$ch has these following scripts:

 ServerScript.js //enabled = Network.isServer;
 ClientScript.js //enabled = true;
 Instantiator.js //will create Player objects (Spheres)


Now, in ClientScript, I have t$$anonymous$$s RPC Call:

 if(!Network.isServer)
 {
    networkView.RPC("createPlayerSphere",RPCMode.All,networkView.viewID);
 }

I'm passing networkView.viewID as an argument because I'm trying to set the networkView's ID accordingly, to set one owner per sphere.

In Instantiator.js, the RPC is defined as t$$anonymous$$s:

 @RPC
 function createPlayerSphere(networkviewid:NetworkViewID)
 {        
     var the_networkview = NetworkView.Find(networkviewid);
     var the_owner = thenetworkview.owner;    
     
     mySphere = Instantiate(t$$anonymous$$s.SpherePrefab);
     mySphere.name="sphere ["+networkviewid.ToString()+"]";
     mySphere.GetComponent(NetworkView).viewID=networkviewid;    
 }

So it is supposed to set the new object's networkview.viewid accordingly.

It works, but the problem is, both server and client send the same NetworkViewID, w$$anonymous$$ch looks like t$$anonymous$$s:

 SceneID: 1 Level Prefix : 0

What am I doing wrong? Should I use Network.Instantiate(); Instead of -RPC- Instantiate? If I do that, I cannot remove the object when the player disconnects..

If you're going to manually assign view IDs you need to allocate them using Network.AllocateViewID.

You should use Network.Instantiate, because it's easier. After players disconnect, OnPlayerDisconnected will be called on the server and all objects instantiated by that player can be removed, as shown in the documentation.
