Not able to obtain unique playerID

[acronyte]

Below is my code for creating a player (using TNet 3).

Im have managed to rename the instantiated prefab at the end.

My problem is during runtime the instantiated object has the same name for each player that joins the channel. ( see "go.name = "player" + TNManager.playerID;" in my code below) <<--which is intended to give each instantiated object a unique name.

Can I request some guidance into why this isnt working?

If im correct, this part will get called on all players. And when someone's joins the game, my game calls this function to create the other player and it will use my "TNManager.playerID".
I suggest you, if you have an class on your Player Gameobject, for example called "Player.cs" to put in the Start() this code:

1. if (tno.isMine)
2. {
3.      gameObject.name = TNManager.playerName + "_" + tno.ownerID;
4. }else{
5.      gameObject.name = TNManager.GetPlayer(tno.ownerID).name + "_" + tno.ownerID;
6. }
7.  

Thats, how i do it. (Don't forget, to set the Playername before joining)

1. if (tno.isMine)
2. {
3.      gameObject.name = TNManager.playerName + "_" + tno.ownerID;
4. }else{
5.      gameObject.name = TNManager.GetPlayer(tno.ownerID).name + "_" + tno.ownerID;
6. }

Thanks! I tried this code and it worked. The name of the gameobjects are no longer duplicated , but are unique.

tno.uid works as well. ownerID is just the uid of the player that owns that object, so if a player owns more than one object you'll have duplicates. tno.uid is guaranteed unique and is assigned by the server.
