Sharing and custom messages not working

I'm attempting to highlight a model and then send message to other Hololens to show that highlight also. The highlight works on my device but does not turn to highlighted on the other devices.

Any idea where I'm going wrong?

Code (CSharp):

1.  private void HightlightCamShaft()
2.     {
3.         CustomMessages.Instance.SendHightlightCamShaft();
4.         TheEnergyHub.GetComponent<EnergyHubBase>().HighlightCamShaft();
5.     }
6.  

CustomMessages.cs

Code (CSharp):

1. public void SendHightlightCamShaft()
2.     {
3.         // If we are connected to a session, broadcast our head info
4.         if (this.serverConnection != null && this.serverConnection.IsConnected())
5.         {
6.             // Create an outgoing network message to contain all the info we want to send
7.             NetworkOutMessage msg = CreateMessage((byte)TestMessageID.HightlightCamShaft);
8.  
9.  
10.             // Send the message as a broadcast, which will cause the server to forward it to all other users in the session.
11.             this.serverConnection.Broadcast(
12.                 msg,
13.                 MessagePriority.Immediate,
14.                 MessageReliability.ReliableOrdered,
15.                 MessageChannel.Avatar);
16.         }
17.     }
18.  

EnergyHubBase.cs

Code (CSharp):

1. public void HighlightCamShaft()
2.     {
3.         Color32 col = pCylinder13.gameObject.GetComponent<Renderer>().material.GetColor("_Color");
4.         col.r = 229;
5.         col.g = 253;
6.         col.b = 0;
7.         col.a = 100;
8.  
9.         pCylinder13.gameObject.GetComponent<Renderer>().material.SetColor("_Color", col);
10.         pCylinder14.gameObject.GetComponent<Renderer>().material.SetColor("_Color", col);
11.         pCylinder17.gameObject.GetComponent<Renderer>().material.SetColor("_Color", col);
12.         pCylinder19.gameObject.GetComponent<Renderer>().material.SetColor("_Color", col);
13.         pCylinder20.gameObject.GetComponent<Renderer>().material.SetColor("_Color", col);
14.     }
15.  

 

Are you registering your HighlightCamShaft function with the dictionary in the CustomMessages script? If I remember correctly you have to add an enum value to that script, then you use your new enum in the dictionary in CustomMessages to tell it which function to call when it receives a message containing that enum. I believe the head sync example has something like that in it.

 

I was missing this line in the Start method.
CustomMessages.Instance.MessageHandlers[CustomMessages.TestMessageID.HightlightCamShaft] = this.HighlightCamShaft;

Is that what you ment Sharkweek42?

 

Yeah, that sounds right. Did that help?

 

yes once i applied that line in my start method everything worked properly.
