Bug Objects are duplicated in a client & server build

Hi,

When I run a client&server build, sprites are being rendered twice. This becomes clear when I increase the latency to something like 200ms. I have a system which moves these sprites (which are ghosts) in a path. This system runs only on the server world. For some reason, even though there is no presentation systems on the server world, the ghosts are being rendered twice. In both worlds the inspector shows that the ghosts have sprite renderers. When I connect to the instance running the server from another instance, I'm only creating a client world and so the gosts are rendering correctly.

It does not happen in the NetCube sample, but I tried adding a sprite as a child of the cube prefab, and the same issue happens.

Can someone inform me what I'm doing wrong?

Thank you

 

Thank you for the reply

I will try to find a way to disable the companion gameobject (or its sprite renderer) to the entity on the server world if that's possible, if that doesn't work I will try your solution.

 

I just deleted the companion GO on server spawned objects at initialization. The GOs on pre-spawned objects share references so dont delete those or else it'll error about null reference exceptions.

Edit: Here's the entirety of the script I use. ComponentLink requires internal access to obtain so a bit of ref-hack is required to make it work.

Code (CSharp):

1. [BurstCompile]
2. [UpdateInGroup(typeof(InitializationSystemGroup))]
3. [WorldSystemFilter(WorldSystemFilterFlags.ServerSimulation)]
4. public partial struct ServerClearCompanions : ISystem
5. {
6.     private EntityQuery _players, _sprites;
7.  
8.     public void OnCreate(ref SystemState state)
9.     {
10.         _players = state.GetEntityQuery(EntityExt.CompLink, typeof(PlayerTag));
11.         _sprites = state.GetEntityQuery(ComponentType.ReadOnly<SpriteRenderer>());
12.         state.RequireAnyForUpdate(_players, _sprites);
13.     }
14.  
15.     public void OnDestroy(ref SystemState state)
16.     {
17.     }
18.  
19.     [BurstCompile]
20.     public void OnUpdate(ref SystemState state)
21.     {
22.         state.EntityManager.RemoveComponent(_players, EntityExt.CompLink);
23.         state.EntityManager.RemoveComponent<SpriteRenderer>(_sprites);
24.     }
25. }

 

That worked! Thanks

But I replaced

Code (CSharp):

1. EntityExt.CompLink

with

Code (CSharp):

1. typeof(CompanionLink)

and it worked.
