#Unity networkview overhead code

Since this is done on all clients, and on the server almost at the same time, how will they all know to assign the same ID to the same objects, so that they can RPC each other?Īlso I read somewhere that the 'owner ID' is always zero? After the object is created, the script on player object dynamically attaches a NetworkView. My problem is that at first, the player object has no NetworkView on it. If so, how do NetworkView objects that are instantiated on clients and server know which ID to assign themselves so they all match up when this is being done on different computers over the network? Is this done automatically by unity, or do I have to send the ID myself to all NetworkView objects? But I cant talk to the objects to tell them which ID to use, since I dont know the NetworkID in the first place, since that is apparently needed to talk to the NetworkView objects! Its like trying to ask someone their name, but you need their name in order to ask them. does object 'A' on all clients and server have the same NetworkViewID, and object 'B' on all clients and servers have the same ID (but different ID from 'A')?

#Unity networkview overhead code

My code didn't print this error, so I guess it must be code deep inside unity that printed it when it received the RPC message from a client, and tried to match it up with a corresponding NetworkViewID on the server, when it could not, it printed the error?

The problem I have is when the player client wants to move, the client tries to do RPC call to the server using the dynamically attached NetworkView, to send the desired movements, but the RPC call fails, giving an error on the SERVER (not the client), that the server cant find the NetworkViewID. So all player clients are doing this as each new player connects to the game server, so everybody can see everybody else. 1 comment Open UnityEngine.Network is obsolete: The legacy networking system has been removed in Unity 2018.2.In the player script Awake() function, I create a NetworkView object, and attach it to the player object dynamically for synchronization. UnityEngine.Network is obsolete: The legacy networking system has been removed in Unity 2018.2. When a client connects to the server, the server uses RPC calls to create the player objects on all of the clients. I'm trying to make an authoritative server game, where the client players send their desired movements to the server, then the server sends back to all clients, the actual movement position information. I also did grouping of RPCs (grouped all the RPCs sent in the same frame), but we dropped it later due to other reasons.I'm new to unity, I thought it was going to be a piece of cake, but now I'm thinking I bit off more than I can chew. In our game we were able to save a lot of bandwith just grouping the state synchronization of our mob's position. Of course, two consecutive 'empty messages' don't generate a packet too. The problem I have is when the player client wants to move, the client tries to do RPC call to the server using the dynamically attached NetworkView, to send the desired movements, but the RPC call fails, giving an error on the SERVER (not the client), that the server cant find the NetworkViewID. If you don't write anything to the bitstream, it's still considered to be a empty message and a small packet is sent to signal this. This is very useful, as you can synchronize different components at different frequencies.įinally, in reliable delta compressed, if the data didn't change then no packet is sent at all. But, if you write your own OnSerializeNetworkView and don't write anything to the bitstream, no packet is sent at all. Second, state synchronization in unreliable mode generates one packet per synchronized component each network 'tick', as expected. First, there's no automatic grouping at all for RPCs or state synchronization. I found out some very interesting things.

A few months ago I used Wireshark to examine this.
