PhotonViewGetID - How to find GameObject by this ID?

[ermak]

Hi,

"GameObject" type can't be send over Photon network. "Network Sync" checkbox is inactive in "Variables" panel. Only: int, float, string... types can be send over network. OK

I trying with "PhotonViewGetID"
https://hutonggames.fogbugz.com/default.asp?W917
on "Master client" to get "PhotonView ID"... and i can send this ID as
Int or String to "others". But how after this on "Not Master client"
i can FIND this object by PhotonView ID and save to GameObject variable?

And in general what is the purpose of "PhotonViewGetID" action if there is
no "Photon Find" action?

Hi,
I do this by looping through Player Count and compare their IDs with received one.
Maybe there are better solutions, but this works.

Hi,

 I have this in my drawer. An action that get a gameobject by id. Please bump me early february, I'll share it.

This is useful to send an rpc and reference a gameobject. it works really well.

This action works like a charm for PUN 1, but does not for the new PUN 2...

Hi,

Can you detail what doesn't work? the action simply return the viewId of a gameobject, nothing more, so I am not sure what doesn't work for you.

can you also compare the viewId shown in the photonView of the gameobject and check if it matches or not. For me it matches.



Bye,

Yes, this one works. But, we asked for find a gameobject by a viewID, not the view ID to a gameobject. With Pun Classic, we just had to use the "Find by view ID" action. In Pun 2, I haven't find the same action.

Personally, I used your "old" version of this action but with the new method to find a photon view and that's works for me.
(I shared it within this post)

Sorry for my bad english

Hi,

 ok, I see, it's because I still have a few actions to port from PUN Classic.

The findByViewID will be in the next release. It's already in the code base ( thanks for sharing the action).

Bye,
