Question Setup NetworkBehavior in another scene.

I have two scenes. One is responsible for matchmaking (so it has Lobby and Relay components) and the next scene has the actual game (so it has a NetworkBehavior for RPCs).

Now my NetworkBehavior doesn't work which I'm guessing is because the NetworkObject component isn't set on account of it being in another scene and the NetworkManager + Unity Transport components being in another scene.

How do I make it so that this works?

 

Hey @RikuTheFuffs-U , here's the necessary info:
1. Yes, I'm using the default scene management.
2. On the server, the NetworkBehavior object is set to empty with the "Spawn" button being enabled during runtime. If I click on the Spawn button, it fills in the details on the object and on the clients it gives an error. If I try to pass any RPCs between the servers/clients, all the receiving peers show that the message was delayed by a second in the debug logs and don't do anything.
3. I'm just calling the various RPCs I've defined in the NetworkBehavior.
4. I'm not setting the authority explicitly. So I think each device/game instance has its own copy of the object and has authority over that? I didn't go too deep into trying to understand this system as I got my game working earlier without setting authorities/spawning multiple objects. Let me know if you think that's the wrong approach. Since I'm making a board game (like chess, but there can be 4 players and each player can have dozens of pieces), I didn't want to create a NetworkObject for every piece and as per my understanding, I can just use it to pass messages between peers.

Thanks!

 

Hi @RikuTheFuffs-U

By empty, I mean none of the properties of the component are visible in the inspector. I'm talking about the NetworkObject component that gets auto-added to any object that has a NetworkBehavior script.

So for example I have:

Code (CSharp):

1. class RPCClass: NetworkBehavior
2. {
3.      [ServerRPC]
4.      public void DoSomethingClientRPC(){}
5. }

I'll call it like this:

Code (CSharp):

1. class SomeScript: MonoBehavior
2. {
3.      public RPCClass refToClass;
4.      public void OnSomeEvent()
5.      {
6.      refToClass.DoSomethingClientRPC();
7.      }
8. }

Both the scripts are in the same scene, but on different objects.

 

@RikuTheFuffs-U hey, sorry for the confusion. It was a mistake here, I am actually using the right method names in my project. So in the project, it is actually DoSomethingServerRPC
