Objects owned by the scene become owned by the new master client when the master client switches.

I have noticed that when the Master client drops from a game, all the photon views that used to be owned by "Scene" become owned by whichever client becomes the new master client. Is this intended behavior?

I understand that Scene objects are owned by the master in a certain sense, but before the master drops they are NOT owned by the master player, they are owned by "Scene" so I would imagine they should continue to be owned by "Scene" when the master client migrates.

I am not using "OnMasterClientSwitched" anywhere.

Thank you.

How to Get Room Properties if all I have is the room name?

I want to return a list of rooms my friends are playing in, but in my lobbies the room name is actually a custom room property, so when I get the list back in OnUpdatedFriendList() I only have access to the string of the room name (which in my case is just a GUID).

I need to access the custom room properties of the room, but all I have is the room name, is there any way to lookup the room details if all I have is the room name?

Hi there, I am running last Pun free asset and unity 2017 version. I get a strange photon error only when I build and run (for android) separately just at the start of runing the app and there is no way to connect the photon lobby from there, if i run and build directly on the phone or on PC there is no error.

Error:
NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object at PhotonNetwork..cctor () [0x00000] in :0 Rethrow as TypeInitializationException: An exception was thrown by the type initializer for PhotonNetwork at ExitGames.Client.Photon.SupportClass+<>c__DisplayClass7_0.b__0 () [0x00000] in :0 (Filename: Line: -1)

jdk1.8.0_45 and last android studio 2.3.0 SDK

Thanks.

Connecting to photon cloud if self hosted photon server fails

Hi! I am just starting out with Photon, but the game(unity) I am tasked to work on is currently connecting to photon cloud. We would like to try out hosting our own instance of Photon Server, would it be possible to try to connect to our own server first and connect to photon cloud if it fails? From what I understood in the documentation, I have to use "ConnectUsingSettings" and "ConnectToMaster" if using photon server. But I am not sure how to move forward. Hope to hear from you all soon, TIA.

Two Colliders of Photon objects are acting like one!

October 17, 2017, 11:28 pm

I am developing an Unity game app with PUN. I put two photon objects in the same game room by logging in from 2 devices. Those two objects are the same thing, having a Sphere collider. But, of course, each object is owned by different client.
The problem is that the 2 colliders of those 2 objects are acting like one object. When a collider of an object detects collision, the other collider also detects collision that doesn't happen.
I guess I missed something when I define those objects. What I did is that I put Photon View Script onto the object and
create them by PhotonNetwork.Instantiate. I guess I need a lot more knowledge about Photon.
Please help me. Any advice will be so appreciated.

Possible to disable some regions?

Hello,

Based on this link:
https://doc.photonengine.com/en/realtime/current/reference/regions

There are about 10+ regions available. I understand that, its good to connect players in the same region so that they can play in the best ping. However, right now, our players are scattered all over the world, and we do not have large users base. Most of the times, they could not find games/rooms. Thus, I would like to check is it possible to disable certain regions so that our players only connect to certain regions and will have higher chances to find games/rooms?

Please advise. Thank you.

According article https://doc.photonengine.com/en/pun/current/reference/regions there is 2 regions available in russia (tokens ru, rue).
But, for some reason, i cant see those regions in PhotonServerSettings, or in [enum CloudRegionCode]
Are those regions not supported anymore, or am i doing something wrong?

Cannot set player custom properties

Hello, I am trying to save and read a single custom property in my PhotonPlayers, but apparently nothing has worked so far: every time I try to read that property, it returns null. After reading many threads in this forum this is what I got, and it still doesn't work:

This is my code for writing the custom property:
ExitGames.Client.Photon.Hashtable hashtable = new ExitGames.Client.Photon.Hashtable();
hashtable.Add("PlayerStatus", "LoadingLevel");
PhotonNetwork.player.SetCustomProperties(hashtable);

This is my code for reading it:
string status = player.CustomProperties["PlayerStatus"].ToString();

This same code works fine for Room custom properties, but not for PhotonPlayer custom properties. What's wrong here? It's like it never gets updated.
Thanks!

Unity PUN auto disconnects on scene change

October 18, 2017, 7:54 am

Hello all, i know this question should have been asked a few times here. However my issue wasnt solved no matter which solved solution i followed.

My Unity version is 5.5.0f3 and PUN is v1.87
I am calling (PhotonNetwork.automaticallySyncScene = true;) for every player on Start() before calling (PhotonNetwork.LoadLevel("scenename");) on MasterClient
Sending RPC "DoStartGame" to target: All or player:.
Received RPC: DoStartGame
PUN-instantiated 'GameManager' got destroyed by engine. This is OK when loading levels. Otherwise use: PhotonNetwork.Destroy().
Registered PhotonView: 2
OperationResponse 252: ReturnCode: 0.
OperationResponse 254: ReturnCode: 0.
OnStatusChanged: Disconnect current State: DisconnectingFromGameserver
OnStatusChanged: Connect current State: ConnectingToMasterserver
Connected to masterserver.
OnStatusChanged: EncryptionEstablished current State: Authenticating
OnEvent: Event 226.
OperationResponse 230: ReturnCode: 0.
RPCs can only be sent in rooms. Call of "DoSetGameReady" gets executed locally only, if at all.
This is my current log. Upon changing scene both the players will automatically no longer be in the same room.
What i figured:
-using DontDestroyOnLoad on a gameObject that has PhotonView will cause a duplicate error upon scene change
-calling PhotonNetwork.isMessageQueueRunning = false isnt necessary because PhotonNetwork.LoadLevel() settles it

Why does my players automatically disconnect from the room?

After 8pm GMT the lag with photon makes my game totally unplayable. EU servers. I was playing my game with only 2 people and the lag is totally unplayable. Any time during the day its pretty decent but any time after 8pm gmt its totally unplayable. For a paid service, this is a total joke. 2 players and 4 second lag.

Ownership transfer of SceneObjects on disconnecting MasterClient

October 13, 2017, 2:38 am

Hello,

i am using PhotonNetwork.InstantiateSceneObject("BrickWall", t.position, t.rotation, 0, null); to let the MasterClient instantiate the destroyable world.
In Unity this SceneObjects are shown on MasterClient as
- Owner: Scene
- ViewID: 1
- Controlled Locally (master): yes

After the MasterClient is disconnecting, looks like the ownership of the SceneObjects get automatically transferred by PUN. After this the Ownersship is not anymore Scene for the new MasterClient:
- Owner: 2
- ViewID: 1
- Controlled Locally (master): yes

How to solve this problem? This should not be normal?

This is a problem for me because: If a bullet hits anything, i check if it hits the player itselfe, to ignore himselfe. (In my game the owner of the bullet should not be hit by it).
if (bulletOwnerId == other.photonView.ownerId) { //ignore }
In this case after the MasterClient disconnects and the ownership of the SceneObjects is transferred automatically, the new MasterClient can not hit any SceneObject anymore, because all SceneObjects have now the MasterClients OwnerID,

My static variables are not working with Photon

So I have an issue with Photon. I am trying to make each player's own separate rank display on the scoreboard of the room. What happens right now? Well it is currently showing the local player's rank amongst all others players and vise versa on the that other player's rank. For example if your playing my game on your local machine and your rank is 2 then all the other player's ranks will show 2 on their names in the room...

Script 1 - Main Menu
Here's my variable -
public static int rank_number;

Script 2 - Scoreboard

GUILayout.Label("Rank " + (int)ConnectMenu.rank_number);
//Display player name
GUILayout.BeginHorizontal();
if(teamTmp[i].customProperties["PlayerHP"] == null || (int)teamTmp[i].customProperties["PlayerHP"] < 1){
GUI.color = GameSettings.customRedColor;
GUILayout.Label("*");
GUILayout.Space(5);
}

GUI.color = (int)teamTmp[i].customProperties["Team"] == 1 ? GameSettings.teamAColor : GameSettings.teamBColor;
playerRank = ConnectMenu.currentRank;
GUILayout.Label(teamTmp[i].name);


Do I need customProperties set?
Let me know if you have any idea of a fix please :)

HI , i want to know how to properly handle disconnection in photon. When a player is currently on a dungeon and he / she disconnects. Do I put a reconnect and join on the OnPhotonDisconnect function but will i be able to spawn the player on his previous position ? + my camera is attached on this player so it also goes away upon disconnecting.
Thanks! :)

Different Players SendRate in same Room? Change sendRate dynamically?

October 21, 2017, 4:50 pm

Hello,

I am curious about one thing.

What happens when there are
10 players in one room

5 players have this settings
PhotonNetwork.sendRate = 18;
PhotonNetwork.sendRateOnSerialize = 9;

2 players this
PhotonNetwork.sendRate = 10;
PhotonNetwork.sendRateOnSerialize = 5;

3 players
PhotonNetwork.sendRate = 8;
PhotonNetwork.sendRateOnSerialize = 4;


Will there be any problems?


I am thinking to change the sendrate for players dynamically on mobile devices depending on the FrameRate.
My hope lower sendrate -> better performance

Will this cause some weird stuff among other players in the room?

thanks
