Networked linerenderer not visible on other players

Hi there,

I have the feeling that I'm missing something very basic. With I can't find out what is wrong.

I have this script that shoots a simple beam (linerenderer). I want this beam to be visible on other player also. But it isn't. RPC call is firing well, but line is only visible on firing client.

Any hints?

Code (CSharp):

1. public class FireBeam : MonoBehaviour
2. {
3.     LineRenderer lr;
4.     PhotonView PV;
5.  
6.         // Start is called before the first frame update
7.     void Start()
8.     {
9.         lr = GetComponent<LineRenderer>();
10.         lr.enabled = false;
11.  
12.         PV = GetComponent<PhotonView>();
13.     }
14.  
15.     // Update is called once per frame
16.     void Update()
17.     {
18.         if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.Space) && PV.IsMine)
19.         {
20.             PV.RPC("RPC_Beam", RpcTarget.All, this.transform.position, new Vector3(this.transform.position.x, this.transform.position.y + 5));
21.         }
22.         else
23.         {
24.             lr.enabled = false;
25.         }
26.     }
27.  
28.     [PunRPC]
29.     public void RPC_Beam(Vector3 start, Vector3 end)
30.     {
31.         lr.enabled = true;
32.         lr.SetPosition(0, start);
33.         lr.SetPosition(1, end);
34.         Debug.Log("Beam!! " + start + " | " + end);
35.     }

 

Hi,

You probably already figured it out but in update you are constantly disabling the line for other players, I guess your problem comes from here.

 

Omg... Sorry for wasting a page on the internet, if this is the issue... which it probably is.. Thanks!!

 

Just a tip for anyone looking at this in 2023. Make sure you have a PhotonView on your object that has this script attached to it.
