Netcode Issue

Hi guys!

I followed the Unity Netcode guide: https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.netcode@0.6/manual/getting-started.html

I have made all modifications related to the Changelog and the Upgrade guide section from here: https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.netcode@0.6/changelog/CHANGELOG.html

I also have made some modifications to replace the use of the class

ComponentSystem 

by the latest

SystemBase 

class in all Systems and replace all

PostUpdateCommands

by the following:

Code (CSharp):

1. var ecb = new EntityCommandBuffer(Allocator.TempJob);
2. Entities.WithStructuralChanges()... {
3. ecb.AddComponent<....>();
4. }).Run();
5. ecb.Playback(EntityManager);
6. ecb.Dispose();

I am ending up with some weird behavior, as you can see in the attached video. Sometimes my standalone client is well rendering the Player sometines not:

Another issue, it seems that if I am not forcing

Application.targetFrameRate = 60;

in the entry point of my game I endup with a lot of "Large server tick prediction error". What I am wondering is, is it really the right approach to force the targetFrameRate like I did?

Thank you very much!

 

Anyone playing with Netcode has an idea?

Thanks!

 

Hi Tim!

Thank you very much for you answer!

I have to admit it you are the boss, the

GhostPrefabCollectionComponent>()

fixed the graphics/spawning issue on my standalone clients

Regarding the prediction tick error, I have recorded a video to illustrate what I mean (I disabled Application.targetFrameRate). Seems to happen only when using the application in server only multiplayer mode:

Otherwise I am very happy I managed to have made the modifications necessary to have the Unity Netcode Getting Started sample using the "new" SystemBase class for all of the systems.

 

Btw Tom there is something that worries me in this specific case:

Code (CSharp):

1. var ghostCollection = GetSingletonEntity<GhostPrefabCollectionComponent>();
2.             var prefab = Entity.Null;
3.             var prefabs = EntityManager.GetBuffer<GhostPrefabBuffer>(ghostCollection);
4.             for (int ghostId = 0; ghostId < prefabs.Length; ++ghostId)
5. ...

How

EntityManager.GetBuffer<GhostPrefabBuffer>(ghostCollection);

did not throw any error as the GhostPrefabCollectionComponent was not ready and so on

var ghostCollection = GetSingletonEntity<GhostPrefabCollectionComponent>();

was null?

 

I was having the same problem, this solved it for me as well.
