Third Party How to spawn players in different positions without overlapping using Photon?

Hello,

I am making a 2D multiplayer game using Photon where I have 4 spawn points and up to 4 players can join the game. The problem is that when all the players load the game at the same time, some of the players spawn at the same location, is there a way to remove the spawnPoints once its occupied?

or any other way to fix this problem?

The below script is instantiated once the main game level starts
The spawn positions is also inside the gameobject that this script is attached to.

Code (CSharp):

1. using System.Collections.Generic;
2. using Photon.Pun;
3. using UnityEngine;
4.  
5. public class PlayerSpawner : MonoBehaviour
6. {
7.      public GameObject playerPrefab;
8.  
9.      public Transform[] spawnPositions;
10.  
11.      List<Transform> usedSpawnPositions;
12.  
13.      public static PlayerSpawner instance;
14.  
15.      private void Awake()
16.      {
17.           DontDestroyOnLoad(gameObject);
18.  
19.           if (instance != null)
20.           {
21.                Destroy(gameObject);
22.           }
23.           else
24.           {
25.                instance = this;
26.           }
27.      }
28.  
29.      void Start()
30.      {
31.           usedSpawnPositions = new List<Transform>();
32.  
33.           int randomNum = Random.Range(0, spawnPositions.Length);
34.           if (!usedSpawnPositions.Contains(spawnPositions[randomNum]))
35.           {
36.                Transform spawnPoint = spawnPositions[randomNum];
37.                PhotonNetwork.Instantiate(playerPrefab.name, spawnPoint.position, Quaternion.identity, 0);
38.                usedSpawnPositions.Add(spawnPositions[randomNum]);
39.           }
40.      }

I also tried this solution in the start function but it didn't worked either...

Code (CSharp):

1. GameObject[] objs = GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag("Player");
2.  
3.           if (objs.Length == 2)
4.           {
5.                objs[0].transform.position = spawnPositions[0].position;
6.                objs[1].transform.position = spawnPositions[1].position;
7.           }
8.           if (objs.Length == 3)
9.           {
10.                objs[0].transform.position = spawnPositions[0].position;
11.                objs[1].transform.position = spawnPositions[1].position;
12.                objs[2].transform.position = spawnPositions[2].position;
13.           }
14.           if (objs.Length == 4)
15.           {
16.                objs[0].transform.position = spawnPositions[0].position;
17.                objs[1].transform.position = spawnPositions[1].position;
18.                objs[2].transform.position = spawnPositions[2].position;
19.                objs[3].transform.position = spawnPositions[3].position;
20.           }

 

I would just use the players actor number to spawn them, i.e, Actor number with 1 will spawn at spawnPosition[0], actor number with 2 at spawnPosition[1] etc

 

i never used actornumber can u tell me how can i call it?

 

Code (CSharp):

1. PhotonNetwork.LocalPlayer.ActorNumber

 

this just shows the actor number, how can I transform its position? for example:

Code (CSharp):

1. if(PhotonNetwork.LocalPlayer.ActorNumber == 1)
2.           {
3.                //transform actor 1 position to spawnPos 1
4.           }

 

Code (CSharp):

1. public Transform[] spawnPoints;
2.  
3. PhotonNetwork.Instantiate(playerPrefab.name, spawnPoint[PhotonNetwork.LocalPlayer.ActorNumber].position, Quaternion.identity, 0);

 

thousands "thanks", my friend! helped me a lot!

 

This is in some cases a good option. But when player 2 leaves and a new one comes in, he gets not that empty seat from player 2. How can I fix that?
