Question How to make separate canvases with netcode

I have a player prefab that contains canvas as a child object. In this canvas exist two buttons - RotateBody and Fire. Depending on the role that player receive I need to enable concrete button. For example I have two players, first player has Seeker role while second has Hider role. In first case I need to enable only Fire button in canvas and RotateBody button in second case. But canvases overlap each other somehow. I tried to disable canvas object and components of canvas if it's not a localPlayer, but still have the issue. So can you give me some tips how can I solve this problem?

 

If I understood correctly, the way I do this is :

I disable both Canvas on the prefab, and when the player spawns I enable the correct canvas for the player. So, first of all, you need a way to differentiate the Seeker and the Hider. Maybe with a Tag or creating teams but that's a bit more complicated. If you don't have that, this is the way to avoid canvas overlapping : in one of your script you need to add this :

Code (CSharp):

1.    
2.     [SerializeField] private GameObject Canvas_HUD;
3.  
4. //OnNetworkSpawn is called when the player spawns on the server
5.     public override void OnNetworkSpawn()
6.     {
7.         base.OnNetworkSpawn();
8.         // Make sure this belongs to us, so canvas don't overlap
9.         if (!IsOwner) { return; }
10.         // the canvas you want to enable
11.         Canvas_HUD.SetActive(true);
12.     }
13.  

But If you have a way to differentiate the Seeker and the Hider, in the same code you can add it to enable the correct canvas, something like this :

Code (CSharp):

1.    
2. [SerializeField] private GameObject Canvas_Seeker;
3. [SerializeField] private GameObject Canvas_Hider;
4. //OnNetworkSpawn is called when the player spawns on the server
5.     public override void OnNetworkSpawn()
6.     {
7.         base.OnNetworkSpawn();
8.         // Make sure this belongs to us, so canvas don't overlap
9.         if (!IsOwner) { return; }
10.         // if the player is a seeker
11.         if (IsSeeker)
12.         {
13.             //Seeker's canvas
14.             Canvas_Seeker.SetActive(true);
15.         }
16.         // if the player is a hider
17.         else if (IsHider)
18.        {
19.             //Hider's canvas
20.             Canvas_Hider.SetActive(true);
21.        }
22.     }
23.  

hopefully that's what you're looking for

 

It works perfectly! Thank you, lifesaver! I just made two different prefabs one for each role. And put your suggestion into the code and now it works. Big thanks!

 

No problem, glad I could help !
