Third Party Photon (possible RPC instantiation of bullet)

So I have a working single player system where a bullet is instantiated in and applies all its forces to itself.

Below is the code attached to a bullet emitter on the end of the bore of every gun of every player.
It is called upon left mouse button down.

Code (CSharp):

1. GameObject bulletemitter = GameObject.Find("BulletEmitter");
2. object_fish_gamelogic.REALFIRE(myPhotonView, ProjectilePrefab, bulletemitter.transform.position, Quaternion.Euler( bulletemitter.transform.rotation.eulerAngles.x, bulletemitter.transform.rotation.eulerAngles.y, bulletemitter.transform.rotation.eulerAngles.z ));

inside the fish_GameLogic script I have the following

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using System.Collections;
3.  
4. public class fish_GameLogic : Photon.MonoBehaviour {
5.     GameObject projectilePrefab;
6.     Vector3 projectileLocation;
7.     Quaternion projectileRotation;
8.    
9.    
10.    
11.     [RPC]
12.     void RPCSHOOT(){
13.         Object projecPrefab = Instantiate(projectilePrefab, projectileLocation, projectileRotation);
14.     }
15.  
16.     public void REALFIRE (PhotonView myPhotonView, GameObject projectilePrefab1, Vector3 projectileLocation1, Quaternion projectileRotation1){
17.         GameObject projectilePrefab = projectilePrefab1;
18.         Vector3 projectileLocation = projectileLocation1;
19.         Quaternion projectileRotation = projectileRotation1;
20.         myPhotonView.RPC("RPCSHOOT", PhotonTargets.All);
21.     }
22. }
23.  
24.  

Both the character and the NetworkManager have a photon view.

Here is the error I get.

 

If there is another way to do this that is fine, however it is important the following is understood.
The bullets DO NOT need to be synced between clients. I only want a hit on the local (client who fires the bullet) to count as a hit.

Also, I have read a ton on this and have been trying to fix it for a few days now and don't understand the concept. I have read the marco polo tutorial but it isn't quite transferable to this example.

 

remove the public in RPCSHOOT();

void RPCSHOOT();

i don't think that a rpc can be public.
hope this help you out.

 

tried it same error.

 

Also I updated the original post to reflect that change

 

ok i see it now. you are using two photonviews and they both have different ID's you have to send it and receive it over one photonview not two. Do you get me?

 

I understand you but what is the solution?
Right now the game_logic script is in the network manager game object
do I need to attach the game_logic script to the player with the photonview?

 

If there a photonview on the same gameobject as the fish_GameLogic script is on the just do this

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2. using UnityEngine;
3. using System.Collections;
4. public class fish_GameLogic :MonoBehaviour {
5.     GameObject projectilePrefab;
6.     Vector3 projectileLocation;
7.     Quaternion projectileRotation;
8.  
9.  
10.  
11.     [RPC]
12.     void RPCSHOOT(){
13.         Object projecPrefab = Instantiate(projectilePrefab, projectileLocation, projectileRotation);
14.     }
15.     public void REALFIRE (GameObject projectilePrefab1, Vector3 projectileLocation1, Quaternion projectileRotation1){
16.         GameObject projectilePrefab = projectilePrefab1;
17.         Vector3 projectileLocation = projectileLocation1;
18.         Quaternion projectileRotation = projectileRotation1;
19. GetComponent<PhotonView>().RPC ("RPCSHOOT", PhotonTargets.AllBuffered);
20.    }
21. }
22.  

then call it like this:

Code (CSharp):

1.     GameObject bulletemitter = GameObject.Find("BulletEmitter");
2.     object_fish_gamelogic.REALFIRE( ProjectilePrefab, bulletemitter.transform.position, Quaternion.Euler( bulletemitter.transform.rotation.eulerAngles.x, bulletemitter.transform.rotation.eulerAngles.y, bulletemitter.transform.rotation.eulerAngles.z ));
3.  

 

I now get this

NullReferenceException
UnityEngine.Object.Internal_InstantiateSingle (UnityEngine.Object data, Vector3 pos, Quaternion rot) (at C:/BuildAgent/work/d3d49558e4d408f4/artifacts/EditorGenerated/UnityEngineObject.cs:73)

 

}[/code]
what is projecPrefab for? you can remove it and call it like this:
Instantiate(projectilePrefab, projectileLocation, projectileRotation);

try this and let me know what you get.

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2. [RPC]
3.     void RPCSHOOT(){
4.         Object projecPrefab = Instantiate(projectilePrefab, projectileLocation, projectileRotation);
5. if (projectPrefab == null){
6. Debug.Log("No projectPrefab ");
7. Debug.Log("but fired over the network ");
8.  
9. }
10.  
11.    }

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2. using UnityEngine;
3. using System.Collections;
4. public class fish_GameLogic :MonoBehaviour {
5.     GameObject projectilePrefab;
6.     Vector3 projectileLocation;
7.     Quaternion projectileRotation;
8.  
9.  
10.  
11.     [RPC]
12.     void RPCSHOOT(){
13.         Object projecPrefab = Instantiate(projectilePrefab, projectileLocation, projectileRotation);
14.     }
15.     public void REALFIRE (GameObject projectilePrefab1, Vector3 projectileLocation1, Quaternion projectileRotation1){
16.        projectilePrefab = projectilePrefab1;
17.       projectileLocation = projectileLocation1;
18.     projectileRotation = projectileRotation1;
19. GetComponent<PhotonView>().RPC ("RPCSHOOT", PhotonTargets.AllBuffered);
20.    }

 

There are two problems here.

1. You need to use a photonview on the object holding the method. Can see you fixed it with GetComponnent<PhotonView>. Just remeber this when designing your network code.

2. You null reference exception is because you only set the prefab, location and rotation locally in REALFIRE(). Everyone else than the one who is calling the RPC will not have it set, and hence you get the null reference exception.

 

so there is some sort of progress. However. the bullet now instantiates based of the character's bullet emitter. As in when another player fires it now instantiates the bullet at my barrel tip.

How can I have the bullet only instantiate at the BulletEmitter of the player firing?

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using System.Collections;
3.  
4. public class fish_GameLogic : Photon.MonoBehaviour {
5.     GameObject projectilePrefab;
6.     Vector3 projectileLocation;
7.     Quaternion projectileRotation;
8.  
9.  
10.  
11.     [RPC]
12.     void RPCSHOOT(){
13.         Object projecPrefab = Instantiate(projectilePrefab, projectileLocation, projectileRotation);
14.     }
15.  
16.     public void REALFIRE (PhotonView myPhotonView, GameObject projectilePrefab1, Vector3 projectileLocation1, Quaternion projectileRotation1){
17.         projectilePrefab = projectilePrefab1;
18.         projectileLocation = projectileLocation1;
19.         projectileRotation = projectileRotation1;
20.         GetComponent<PhotonView>().RPC("RPCSHOOT", PhotonTargets.All);
21.     }
22.  
23.  
24. }

 

I also get a NullReference if a player shoots before i have shot. Presumeably because the Prefab hasn't been setup yet. This seems to be the wrong way of going about it so how would be the right way?

 

if(PhotonView.isMine){
}

and Object Pooling your bullet

 

I can't imagine that is going to help as the issue is already that the object fires from my gun even if it is someone else shooting

 

ok lets start by fixing the error.

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2.   using UnityEngine;
3.     using System.Collections;
4.  
5.     public class fish_GameLogic : Photon.MonoBehaviour {
6. //now drop the prefab on the script  
7. public GameObject projectilePrefab;
8.  
9.  
10.  
11.  
12.         [RPC]
13.         void RPCSHOOT( Vector3 projectileLocation, Quaternion projectileRotation){
14.             Object projecPrefab = Instantiate(projectilePrefab, projectileLocation, projectileRotation);
15.         }
16.  
17.         public void REALFIRE ( Vector3 projectileLocation1, Quaternion projectileRotation1){
18.    
19.             GetComponent<PhotonView>().RPC("RPCSHOOT", PhotonTargets.All, projectileLocation1,projectileRotation1 );
20.         }
21.  
22.  
23.     }
24.  

 

try that this should remove the error but will still fire from both players

 

Probably you forgot to made it thru PhotonNetwork
Object projecPrefab = PhotonNetwork.Instantiate(projectilePrefab, projectileLocation, projectileRotation);

 

Thanks, swapped to forge networking
