Photon RPC Broadcast Target FSM[SOLVED]
« on: January 17, 2019, 06:58:06 PM »
Hello,
I am trying to target a specific scene game object's FSM as RPC target. I understand it can not reference an object directly. Tried adding Photon View and proxy, also instantiate the object similar as players, still getting the error.
Profiler shows that RPC broadcast all events are creating CPU spikes and now researching a way to send them directly to the manager, which deals all the RPC.
How those dropdown options are intended to be used (target as gameobj or FSM), any tips appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi,

 yes, this is a problem indeed, because I can't show a custom field for this, and so this actio only accept Self or BroadcastAll as options for Event Target.

 I have modified the action so that it errors out inside the action if you are not using the right one, at least you will not waiste time on this. Sorry about that.

so the likely option for you is to choose Self.

 Bye,

 Jean
