Hey guys, been trying to figure this out for way to long and it's starting to get me down.
I'm working on a multiplayer game where the players can join at any time and take turns in stages. Here's what I believe is the offending code:
void OnJoinedRoom(){
myPlayerNumber = (int)PhotonNetwork.playerList.Length;
xPos = (float)PhotonNetwork.playerList.Length * 0.2f;
player = PhotonNetwork.Instantiate("Prefabs/Knight", new Vector3(-0.2f - xPos, -0.81f, 0),
Quaternion.identity, 0);
// game logic: if this is the only player, it's our turn
if (PhotonNetwork.playerList.Length == 1){
playerWhosTurnItIs = PhotonNetwork.player.ID;
meanCrab = PhotonNetwork.Instantiate("Prefabs/EnemyMeanCrab", new Vector3(1.2f, -0.61f, 0),
Quaternion.identity, 0);
}
}
When it's the player's turn they are allowed to press a button and attack the spawned enemy. The following function is called within a coroutine I have that checks if it is the player's turn. It works for my player 1, but when it is the other player's turns it throws a nullReferenceException (I believe this is on the meanCrab.transform.position)
player.GetComponent().photonView.RPC("Attack", PhotonTargets.All,
meanCrab.transform.position);
I guess what I don't understand here is why it's throwing that exception. meanCrab has a Photon View so all other players should be able to access this object with an RPC, right?
player is the player who's turn it is, BTW. I can run this without the call to meancrab.transform.position and it cycles through the multiplayer turns correctly. If I instantiate my meancrab enemy object outside of the if(Photonnetwork.playerList.Length ==1) snippet, it will create a new meancrab for each player, but I only want one for all the players.
What am I doing wrong here? Thanks!
