[Solved] Animation RFC

[ckrin]

hey,

little problem here. i try to sync position and rotation and animation over network. so each player see's the others move correctly.
my problem is: all actions that other players do, trigger the animations on the player that first joined while position and rotation are syncd correctly.

this is the lower end of my charactercontroller script:

1. ....
2. ....
3. ....
4.  
5.  
6. switch(moveStatus)
7.     {
8.         case "idle":
9.                                         if(!animCon.animation.IsPlaying("Attack02"))
10.                                         animCon.animation.CrossFade("Idle")
11.                                         ;break;
12.         case "jump":
13.                                 //      if(!animCon.animation.IsPlaying("Attack02"))
14.                                         animCon.animation.CrossFade("Idle");
15.                                         break;
16.         case "walking":
17.                                         //if(!animCon.animation.IsPlaying("Attack02"))
18.                                         animCon.animation.CrossFade("Run");
19.                                         break;
20.         case "running":
21.                                         //if(!animCon.animation.IsPlaying("Attack02"))
22.                                         animCon.animation.CrossFade("Run");
23.                                         break;

Where does it say that the other players play the animation sent to them? You should write the "switch(moveStatus)" outside the tno.IsMine

thanks for the fast answer.

okay, did that, but doesnt help.

maybe you see my mistake in full script:

1. You shouldent send the position of the player every frame, you should be sending the positioning 4-8 times every seconds and then send the vector the player is moving at abit more often, let's say 20-25 times. There on you should let the client who recieved the vectores for the movement making the calculation how the player should move(less data send). And then the client checks what kind of thing the other players are doing according to their movements, and if you want them to die or hit or something similiar so should you send that in a diffrent pakage(my opinion).

2. should you really set the moveStatus to idle everytime it runs through the script?
Otherwise so couldn't I see any problems with your script.

[ckrin]

thanks for the reply. your right, moveStatus=idle makes no sens in the updatefunction.
your answer causes more questions.

1. in my case i need to sync moveDirection right? Means i send RFC when some user Input happens, right? How does this work since moveDirection is inside of tno.isMine, wouldnt incoming data be ignored? just had a test with tnserver.exe via public adress and the players & camera's  most of the time twiched hard. calculating moveDirection client side will fix this right? Even my move speed is reduced alot :s


2. animations are still only played on character that joins first :/

[addebooi]

1. You could as well write something similar outside the tno.IsMine "controller.Move(moveDirection * Time.deltaTime)", Then just send the RFC and sets the moveDirection on the object as wanted and let the other clients to calculate where to move. And because of the "delay" so will you all so have to set the position/rotation like 4 times a second as i mentioned earlier. Ohh yeah. Why your own character twists can be because you are sending the RFC to all. You shouldn't do that, Use the Target.Others for transmitting your position and your moveDirection. And if you want your characters movespeed do be diffrent sometimes so should you calculate the moveDirections * speed or whatever before you transmite it over the network.

2. As understand: When other players "move" the move animations only plays for the first person who joined the channel?

[ckrin]

right.

if player A joins, he can move with animations.
if player B joins and moves he plays animations on player A's avatar . Player A movement doesnt trigger animations for himself from now on :S

SOLVED! when instantiating my animation controller seeked for the ameObjects that contains the different races and animations (4 child objects). this causes that second and third player always found the child objects of the first player... i solved it by seeking with

1. transform.Find("goblin").gameObject

wich only can access child objects.

----------

how can i set my send rate per seconds without the autosync? my syncPlayerPosRot() RFC is still in update function, sending a huge amount of packets 

SOLVED! got it working with Time.deltaTime;
