IPunInstantiateMagicCallback issue in UCC PUN scenes

[nathanj]

Hi Justin

I'm trying to get Dissonance Audio working with UCC for networked audio.

I've run into a problem, for some reason the callback

 void IPunInstantiateMagicCallback.OnPhotonInstantiate(PhotonMessageInfo info)

is never called within a UCC PUN scene.

It works in the Dissonance scene but for some reason it's not working in the UCC scene.

Any idea why this would be?

So I'm pretty sure it's how how the two programs instantiate the player.

Dissonance uses this to instantiate the player:

PhotonNetwork.Instantiate(ObjectToSpawn.name, pos, Quaternion.identity, 0);

While Opsive uses

var player = GameObject.Instantiate(GetCharacterPrefab(newPlayer), spawnPosition, spawnRotation);
            var photonView = player.GetComponent<PhotonView>();
            photonView.ViewID = PhotonNetwork.AllocateViewID(newPlayer.ActorNumber);

and then uses this event

PhotonNetwork.RaiseEvent(PhotonEventIDs.PlayerInstantiation, data, m_RaiseEventOptions, m_ReliableSendOption);

So, does anyone here know if I can somehow use the event to trigger a callback like

void IPunInstantiateMagicCallback.OnPhotonInstantiate(PhotonMessageInfo info)

meantioned above?

Thanks in advance.

Hmm, I'm not sure as I haven't used that callback before. I would try posting this on the Photon forums to see if they can help. The add-on uses this method for spawning players:

Thanks Justin

Just a heads up, I'm a bit lost with this so aplogies if this is confusing or just simply wrong.

Are you aware of a single event that is called when a new player is entered to the scene? In the SpawnManagerBase there seems to be different calls for local or remote player's.

At the moment I have

public void OnEvent(EventData photonEvent)

with

if (photonEvent.Code == PhotonEventIDs.PlayerInstantiation)

and

private void OnPlayerEnteredRoom(Player player, GameObject character)

to register when a new player is added.

It kind of works but not the same way that IPunInstantiateMagicCallback.OnPhotonInstantiate does. I believe I need the OnPlayerEntered to register when a remote player enters and the OnEvent to register when the local player enters. Is there some single call I can tap into whenever a player is added to the scene?

Thank you,
Nathan

The OnPlayerEnteredRoom event is sent from the master client after a new character has been added within the add-on. This event originates from the PUN MonoBehaviourPunCallbacks.OnPlayerEnteredRoom. It sounds like you could override the OnPlayerEnteredRoom method to catch all use cases?
