Change player name in OnNetworkConnect or near.
« on: November 11, 2013, 06:56:10 AM »
Hey! i got a script so when he connects to the server it calls "OnNetworkConnect", and that works just fine. But then i want to change the player name in that function, and apparently that wont work
  1.  
  2. void OnNetworkConnect(bool succes, string message){
  3.         if(succes){
  4.                 Debug.Log("Playername before: " + TNManager.playerName);
  5.                 TNManager.playerName = "ChangedName";
  6.                 Debug.Log("Playername after: " + TNManager.playerName);
  7.                 loadMenu();
  8.         }
  9.         else{
  10.                 Debug.Log("there was an error: " + message);
  11.                 onFailedConnection();
  12.         }
  13. }
  14.  
The name is both Guest before and after the change.
Ive also tested making the name change upon start in the menu that loads
  1.  
  2. void Start(){
  3.         Debug.Log(TNManager.playerName);
  4.         TNManager.playerName = "ChangedName";
  5.         Debug.Log(TNManager.playerName);
  6. }
  7.  
And both here returns Guest.
Then i tested making an Coroutine with a delay by 0.1 seconds, then change the name(in the start function of the menu), Then it works just fine! Is it really neccisary to have a delay for changing name of the player?

I noticed that the tnmanager.playername doesn't change immidiatly as i write. So it changes, just not right away!

The change needs to go through the server as it's a synchronized call.
