Question
Currently I’m able to have players spawn in to my level from a pregame lobby, which collects info such as steam name, creates/stores peer ID, etc. in a global script. However, on spawning into the level, the host and client are not synchronized. The client cannot see the host at all, and the host can’t see the client moving. Can I have some help diagnosing where that issue is coming from? Previously I didn’t have this problem, and am not sure how it popped up. Error messages are indicating the client thinks the host node doesn’t exist
Scene tree below. The way it works is:
-
RiverLevel is instantiated and spawned with MultiplayerSpawner node. No issues here as far as I can tell, as objects in the level seem to sync perfectly between host and clients.
-
Upon level load, the LevelLoader node and its script (below) fires its ready function, which triggers the host to spawn, and gets the clients to rpc the host when they’ve loaded the scene.
-
Host receives rpc with the client’s peer id, and uses it to spawn their character and assign authority to that peer id
