Question
I’m having issues using the custom spawn functionality for the multiplayer spawner. There isn’t much documentation on how it should be used, maybe somebody could enlighten me?
I set the spawn function in _ready(), then the server spawns the item in drop_item(). The item spawns correctly on the server but the clients return these two errors:
E 0:00:10:0585 instantiate_custom: Failed to call spawn function.
<C++ Error> Condition "ce.error != Callable::CallError::CALL_OK" is true. Returning: nullptr
<C++ Source> modules/multiplayer/multiplayer_spawner.cpp:315 @ instantiate_custom()
E 0:00:10:0585 on_spawn_receive: Parameter "node" is null.
<C++ Source> modules/multiplayer/scene_replication_interface.cpp:621 @ on_spawn_receive()
func _ready():
get_node("/root/Game/WorldSpawner").set_spawn_function(item_setup)
func drop_loot():
if multiplayer.is_server():
for item_drop_data in drop_data.items:
if randf() <= item_drop_data.item_drop_rate:
print("drop")
drop_item(item_drop_data, global_position)
func drop_item(item_drop_data: ItemDropData, position: Vector3):
get_node("/root/Game/WorldSpawner").spawn(item_drop_data.item_data)
func item_setup(item_data: ItemData) -> Node3D:
var scene = load("res://Inventory/ItemDrops/ItemDrop.tscn")
var instance = scene.instantiate() as Node3D
instance.setup(item_data)
#instance.global_position = position
return instance
There is barely any information I have found online in actually how to use these functions so if anybody knows any more that would be a great help.
thanks
