Third Party Photon-Having issue with player name and sprite

hello, i'm having trouble while making multiplayer game with photon, the issue is each client will have the same nickname and sprite,

• ie : player 1 will have seen player 2 with player 1 name, so there are two player 1 and vice versa

below is the code i use to take the nickname and the sprite, do keep in mind that i'm relatively new in making games

Code (CSharp):

1. using System.Collections;
2. using System.Collections.Generic;
3. using TMPro;
4. using UnityEngine;
5. using Photon.Pun;
6. using UnityEngine.SceneManagement;
7.  
8.  
9. public class MainChar : MonoBehaviourPun
10. {
11.     public Sprite Female, FemaleCasual, MaleCasual;
12.     public GameObject nickname;
13.     private SpriteRenderer mySprite;
14.     private readonly string selectedCharacter = "selectedCharacter";
15.     private readonly string selectedChar = "selectedChar";
16.     public PhotonView PV;
17.     public static MainChar MC;
18.     public int getCharacter;
19.     public int health = 5;
20.     public int experience = 40;
21.     public int gold = 1000;
22.  
23.     public Quest quest;
24.     public string sceneName;
25.  
26.     void Awake()
27.     {
28.         APIHandler.Instance.databaseAPI.GetLocation();
29.         mySprite = this.GetComponent<SpriteRenderer>();
30.         PV = GetComponent<PhotonView>();
31.     }
32.     void Start()
33.     {
34.         if (PV.IsMine)
35.         {
36.             PV.RPC("charSelect", RpcTarget.AllBuffered,null);
37.         /*    charSelect();*/
38.         }
39.         sceneName = SceneManager.GetActiveScene().name;
40.         APIHandler.Instance.databaseAPI.PostLocation(sceneName);
41.     }
42.  
43.     [PunRPC]
44.     void charSelect()
45.     {
46.         nickname.GetComponent<TextMeshPro>().text = APIHandler.Instance.authAPI.GetUser().nickname;
47.        
48.         print(nickname.GetComponent<TextMeshPro>().text = APIHandler.Instance.authAPI.GetUser().nickname);
49.        
50.         string noChar = APIHandler.Instance.authAPI.GetUser().noCharacter;
51.         int getCharacter;
52.         getCharacter = int.Parse(noChar);
53.  
54.         print(getCharacter);
55.  
56.         switch (getCharacter)
57.         {
58.             case 1:
59.                 mySprite.sprite = Female;
60.                 break;
61.             case 2:
62.                 mySprite.sprite = MaleCasual;
63.                 break;
64.             case 3:
65.                 mySprite.sprite = FemaleCasual;
66.                 break;
67.             default:
68.                 mySprite.sprite = FemaleCasual;
69.                 break;
70.         }
71.     }
72.  
73.     public void goBattle()
74.     {
75.         health -= 1;
76.         experience += 2;
77.         gold += 5;
78.  
79.         if (quest.isActive)
80.         {
81.             quest.goal.EnemyKilled();
82.             if (quest.goal.IsReached())
83.             {
84.                 experience += quest.expReward;
85.                 gold += quest.goldReward;
86.                 quest.Complete();
87.             }
88.         }
89.     }
90. }
91.  

 

First, maybe consider using the RPC from inside Awake(), and after you set your PV variable.

Secondly, I think your problem happens because when you RpcTarget.All.

This is calling the RPC on that object to everyone in the room, which leads me to believe when you do APIHandler.Instance.authAPI.GetUser().nickname, you are actually getting the nickname of the LocalPlayer. Doing this would lead to the unintended result of every MainChar object in that room being labelled with the same LocalPlayer's nickname.

 

Your CharSelect RPC function should take the nickname as a parameter the value of which should be determined before sending the RPC.

 

The PUN Basics Tutorial shows how to use the nickname and show it per player.
I would recommend reading it and coding along.

 

i see, i'm gonna try your suggestion thanks for helping

 

hmmm ok i'll try that too, thanks for helpng

 

alright i might do that if i'm still can get the the issue solved, thanks for helping
