How can I associate the TNPlayer class with my actual game objects?

[gg67]

I'm having trouble understanding how the TNPlayer class is connected to game objects created based on each networked player. In my mind I would have the TNet Player script as a component of each player game object I create, however that's not how it was designed.

I suppose the problem I'm trying to solve is finding a remote player game object based on a TNPlayer object.

Thanks!

In the Start() function of your script attached to the same object as TNObject, check tno.isMine (if you derived it from TNBehaviour). This will tell you whether you own this object or not.

I'm not sure I asked my question properly. Let me explain my problem in a little bit more detail.

When a new player joins, I want them to send everybody else their username. Right now, I have this:

1.         // Enable and disable player components based on whether they are *my* player, or the networked player clones
2.         void setupNetworkedPlayer() {
3.                 // If this is my player...
4.                 if(tno.isMine) {
5.  
6.                         // Add username
7.                         mPlayerName = TNManager.playerName;
8.             // Tell everybody else to add my name to my clones in their game
9.                         tno.Send(2,Target.OthersSaved, TNManager.player, mPlayerName);
10.                         // Enable player controls
11.                         instance.GetComponent<SimpleMove>().enabled = true;
12.                         // Enable camera and audio
13.                         instance.transform.FindChild("Camera").gameObject.SetActive(true);
14.                         // Enable mouselook on capsule
15.                         instance.GetComponent<MouseLook>().enabled = true;
16.                 }
17.  
18.         }
19.  
20.     // This is where I'm having issues
21.         [RFC(2)]
22.         void setJoinedPlayerName(Player p, string name) {
23.         // Find player p's gameObject, and set the mPlayerName variable in this script to the passed name
24.                 mPlayerName = name;
25.         }
26.  

In the RFC, I'm not sure how to connect the Player p to the cloned game object player on everybody else's clients.

Another option in my mind would have the each TNPlayer "own" a list of TNObjects. Thus, as player1 I could find all objects belonging to player2, player3, etc. Though I don't want to go hack up your scripts because I'd imagine theres a better way.

1. void Start()
2. {
3.     if (tno.isMine) tno.Send("SetMyName", Target.OthersSaved, gameObject.name);
4. }
5.  
6. [RFC]
7. void SetMyName (string name)
8. {
9.     gameObject.name = name;
10. }

That's for setting some local value.

If you really are trying to set player names... don't do it. TNManager.playerName is an auto-sync'd call. If you change it, everyone will automatically get the change in their TNManager.players.

Sweet! Thanks for clearing that up, I'm still wrapping my head around custom RFCs. Also, I had my RFC call in Awake() instead of Start(). I've read up on the differences, but why did that cause issues here?

[ArenMook]

Awake() is executed as soon as the object is instantiated, before TNObject's ID has been set. Start() is executed after it was set.
