Third Party Trouble with Player Instantiate Photon

The player and all the other players spawn correctly and they can move and there position is updated and all that but there is just one problem.

If a player is instantiated before another player joins the room, the player that wasn't joined to the room before the other spawned their player wont see the first player.

To make this easier to understand I will use and example:

This is what happens when they are both present in the room

Player 1, Player 2
Player 1 creates and joins the room
Player 2 joins the room
Player 1 and 2 spawn player
Everything works fine

This is what happens when Player 2 isn't in the room when Player 1 Spawns the player

Player 1 creates and joins the room
Player 1 Spawns Player
Player 2 joins the room
Player 2 spawns player
Player 1 can see Player 2 but Player 2 can not see Player 1

What could I be doing wrong. Could it be my Smooth Network Movement Script? How and when I instantiate?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

 

Use RPC buffer when instantiating so anything that was spawned before a player joins will be there

 

@pSeth How am I supposed to do that?

 

How would i do that?

 

networkView.RPC ("SpawnPlayer", RPCMode.All, null); Would be changed to networkView.RPC ("SpawnPlayer". RPCMode.Buffer, null);

 

How would that translate to Photon?

 

wait nevermind I got it, thanks

 

I don't use photon, sorry! But glad you got it!! Keep it up man!!!

 

Please post the answer

 

After trying it didn't work. I use photontargets.allbuffered and the other player saw the first player fine but on the first players screen there was 2 of him.

 

At the moment, I can only point you to our "Marco Polo" Tutorial. This shows how to setup a character, instantiate per player and sync positions. It should cover the basics you need.
http://doc.exitgames.com/en/pun/current/tutorials/tutorial-marco-polo

 

Do you use PhotonNetwork.Instantiate ? With this, your players should at least see each other.

Can you show your "Spawn" function ? And how (and where) do you call it ?

I had it as PhotonTargets.AllBuffered and it wasnt working so I was just trying something, It also originally was an RPC but I was going off the Marco Polo Tut as Tobiass suggested.

 

So I am having a similar issue.

I want to do the following the first player creates the room he loads the scene. Now he creates the car for that player. I now open the room, a second player joins, he creates his car, but didnt create the other players car (because it happened in the past).

Okay so I tried.

PUNRaceManager.cs

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2.  
3.    void Start (  )
4.     {
5.  
6.         //if(PhotonNetwork.isMasterClient)
7.         {
8.             PhotonView pv = gameObject.GetComponent<PhotonView>();
9.             if(pv)
10.             {
11.                 pv.RPC("CreateCarRPC",PhotonTargets.AllBuffered);
12.             }
13.         }
14.  
15.         //CreateCar();
16.  
17.     }

Now what happens is that I load the first car -- when the master client creates the room. The second car is created when the client joins the room, but he also spawns another car for the first the player.

If I uncomment the isMasterClient line of code I get the following error. I assume its because the photonview is owned by the scene.
