GetPlayer

[devomage]

it appears that GetPlayer is bound by the players that are within the same channel?

1. Player player = TNManager.GetPlayer(playerid);
2.  

how do i "GetPlayer" of a playerid that is in another channel?  i can think of a solution from the server-side -- but id prefer not.

im getting a null from a valid playerid...

You can't retrieve players that aren't in the same channel as you. If you are trying to send a private message, do it by their player name instead.

i have a central location chat where a player can see all matches that are going on and the status of each match.

can you retrieve player data via a private message?  if so, is there an example of this somewhere?

[ArenMook]

Send a private message same way you'd send any other packet. The only difference is that instead of specifying a target you'd specify a player name. The rest is the same. It's just an RFC like any other.

just to be clear:  you can send a private message to someone who is in a different channel?  i'd assume yes.  however, my understanding of the process is not working.

the player in the remote channel is not receiving the RFC.

1.     public string RemotePlayerName = "";
2.  
3.     public void OnClick_TestRFC()
4.     {
5.         Debug.Log("OnClick_TestRFC");
6.  
7.         tno.Send("RFCRequestData", RemotePlayerName, TNManager.playerName);
8.     }
9.  
10.     //GUI textList for debugging
11.     void ClientDEBUG(string msg)
12.     {
13.         textList.Add(string.Format("[00ff00][Client]: [ffffff]{0}", msg));
14.     }
15.  
16.  
17.  
18.  
19.     [RFC]
20.     void RFCRequestData(string reponseName)
21.     {
22.         int level = TNManager.playerDataNode.GetChild<int>("Level");
23.         int prof = TNManager.playerDataNode.GetChild<int>("Profession");
24.         string profabbr = GetAbbrProfession(prof);
25.  
26.         ClientDEBUG(string.Format("RFCRequestData reponseName={0}", reponseName));
27.  
28.         tno.Send("RFCResponseData", reponseName, TNManager.playerID, level, prof, profabbr);
29.     }
30.  
31.     [RFC]
32.     void RFCResponseData(int playerid, int level, int prof, string profession)
33.     {
34.         ClientDEBUG(string.Format("RFCResponseData playerid={0} level={1}", playerid, level));
35.     }
36.  
37.

Yes, you can. Both players must have an object with the RFC present for this to work.

This is generally achieved by having a DontDestroyOnLoad() static game object with a TNObject that has a fixed ID (not instantiated via TNManager).

i have 5 scenes that are their own channels - all with a TNObject component attached to an empty game object.  i have one TNManager that follows along from scene to scene with the player. all TNObject component's have a unique ID.  1-5.  the two channels that are talking to each other both have identical RFC method's as shown in the post above.

i'm happy that i understand the process.  ideas on why they are not communicating?  should i only be using one TNObject for all scene's?  my setup fits the criteria without using DontDestroyOnLoad().

[ArenMook]

When a message is sent, it's sent to a TNObject. If both scene's objects have the same exact IDs, it'll work fine. But if scene A has that script on object with ID of 1, and another with ID of 2, it won't work.

In any case, I suggest making it travel from scene to scene along with your TNManager. You can just make it a child of that object. Keep in mind though, TNManager's presence is not required from the start.

Fixed!

appreciate your patience and support.  thanks!
