Question by KuPAfoo · Dec 01, 2013 at 09:25 PM · photon renderer.enabled

renderer.enable = photon?

0n my objects I have included a script to enable/disable 2 points of weapons (sheathed and wielded)

in the game, over the network when I press the corresponding button to enable/disable the mesh' all players online follow the same protocol, and is not seen by other clients.

Rather than using a separate script on each object to renderer.enable should I be sending the object.renderer.enable through photon?

I'm a bit stumped by photon, and the internet is cluttered with threads that used to exist and don't now

Edit: After testing the suggestion below, I've dug up some information alt text

The bottom of the window includes the error i'm receiving. I've looked t$$anonymous$$s up, and it tells me I need to reference an object just like the error. I've tried instantiating the object i'm scripting on in multiple different fas$$anonymous$$ons.

Still stuck

Use an RPC call.

pseudocode :

 if ( Input )
 {
     photonView.RPC( "SetRenderer", PhotonTargets.All );
 }
 
 @RPC
 function SetRenderer()
 {
     // change the renderer
 }

Sweet, thanks! That helps... Now where should that work? Network view? Photon script? hierarchy-specific objects? third person controller?

I've added photonview to the object I'm scripting on, aswell as set observation to none.

error CS0120: An object reference is required to access non-static member 'PhotonView.RPC(string, PhotonPlayer, params object[])"

I've searched the CS0120 and it only explains passing a string's content through the parameter of params object[]. Here, i'm attempting to RPC the rendered state of the object. I'm about to start texturing models because I cannot seem to figure this out, and I have played around as you can tell from my script's comments

I got RPC working properly, but it sends in an odd fashion. All shields/swords are affected on all clients, or my shield affected on other's client, and other's shield affected on my screen (all from my keypress)
