No WebGL possible with PUN 2

Hello everyone,

I am new to Photon/PUN and also quite new to unity. I have a problem using PUN 2 and could not find a solution up to now:

I just wanted to test if PUN 2 works also in WebGL Builds, as far as I know it should. But I am not able to get a working WebGL Build with PUN 2. I tried it also with the Demos (especially the SlotCar Demo) you can get with PUN (to be sure, that nothing in my Project creates the problem), but even then I can't get a working WebGL Build. When I build the Demo as Windows Standalone, everything works fine and I also can get a connection to the server from different clients.
When I want to build WebGL, I first got a build, but it never left the Unity/WebGL loading screen. And now after I updated Unity and PUN 2 to the current version I am not even able to get a build.

I give you a short history of what I tried:

When I open an empty unity (3D) project, I already get a warning:

Assembly for Assembly Definition File 'Packages/com.unity.collab-proxy/Tests/Editor/Unity.CollabProxy.EditorTests.asmdef' will not be compiled, because it has no scripts associated with it.
UnityEditor.Scripting.ScriptCompilation.EditorCompilationInterface:TickCompilationPipeline(EditorScriptCompilationOptions, BuildTargetGroup, BuildTarget, String[])

after importing PUN 2, there are several warnings:

Unity is only able to load mdb or portable-pdb symbols. Assets/Photon/PhotonLibs/Metro/Photon3Unity3D.pdb is using a legacy pdb format.
UnityEngine.Debug:LogWarning(Object)
Microsoft.Unity.VisualStudio.Editor.VisualStudioEditor:SyncIfNeeded(String[], String[], String[], String[], String[]) (at Library/PackageCache/com.unity.ide.visualstudio@2.0.2/Editor/VisualStudioEditor.cs:154)

after loading the SlotCar Demo Scene, there is another warning:

Scene 'PunCockpit-Scene' couldn't be loaded because it has not been added to the build settings or the AssetBundle has not been loaded.
To add a scene to the build settings use the menu File->Build Settings...

UnityEngine.SetupCoroutine:InvokeMoveNext(IEnumerator, IntPtr)

If I build the Demo now as Windows Standalone, everything works fine despite the several warnings.

If I switch the platform to WebGL i get another 3 warnings:

Assets\Photon\PhotonRealtime\Code\PhotonPing.cs(449,17): warning CS0618: 'WWW' is obsolete: 'Use UnityWebRequest, a fully featured replacement which is more efficient and has additional features'

Assertion failed on expression: 'ins.second || ins.first->second == targetHash || (ins.first->second == CircularDependencyHash() && !targetHash.IsValid()) || GetPathFromAssetGuidV2(key.GetGUID()).ends_with(".cs")'

now, if I click on "Build" I get another 4 messages:

Assets\Photon\PhotonLibs\WebSocket\WebSocket.cs(5,7): error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'WebSocketSharp' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

UnityEngine.GUIUtility:ProcessEvent(Int32, IntPtr, Boolean&)

Do you know what is wrong? Why is unity not even able to build the Demo of PUN 2 in WebGL?
As I already said I have the newest version of Unity and PUN 2.
I hope my request is not confusing or stupid.

When trying to rejoin a room, after cutting client access to the server, I've noticed the following error:

ReconnectAndRejoin() failed. It seems the client doesn't have any previous authentication token to re-connect.

While debugging, I noticed during authentication that OperationResponse never contains the neverParameterCode.Secret key so the Token is never set. I do not have any authentication provider setup but it should provide me a session token either way right?

≪ Previous: Photon Server - Rejoin and Tokens

I have a car that has a PhotonView, a Photon RigidBodyView and a PhotonTransformView and while working in the Unity editor my game works fine but when I build to Android Car1 while not be able to ".GetComponent<PhotonView>()".

I'm not sure what else to say. My PhotonView is "Unreliable" and has Auto Found the RigidBody and the Transform. The RigidBody View says "Unable to find a PhotonView on the GameObject or any parent GameObject" even though the PhotonView is directly above it on the same GameObject.

Strangely enough an exact;y the same build Car2 works fine while Car1 doesn't work (Because I can't FindComponent PhotonView). Any thoughts or things to try?

Thanks

Keeping Lobby Scene when loading Room Scene

August 19, 2020, 5:34 pm

≫ Next: Rooms not showing up!

≪ Previous: PhotonView gets lost when built to Android

In my game I want to have a Spaceship Scene as the Lobby where players can join and look at each others customized character. When everyone is ready and a Room was found it should load the Room and keep the Lobby Spaceship Scene loaded. So the Spaceship can land and the players can walk out into the world.

The easy way would be to copy the Spaceship into the Room Scene for a seamless transition but I always used a multi Scene workflow to keep UI and such separated.

Is there a way to additively load Scenes?

Hey,

i am currently in the process of building my first multiplayer application or rather adding a spectator mode to an aleady built VR application so other people can join and just watch what the main player in VR is doing.

The application heavily relies on events to progress the story, it basically has events that set the general story state and then other events that can trigger as side-events during that particular story step.

I managed to get the tracking to work after some initial hiccups, I'm at the point where spectators can join and watch through the players eyes.

My next goal is converting all the local events to RPC's. The method i tried is implementing the IOnEventCallback interface on a helper script which is supposed to trigger all local audioevents.
The idea was to trigger the event passing over a string and a transform, telling the receiving function which sound and where to play it.
Sadly it's throwing a pretty long and (for me) cryptic error message, i am not quite sure what to change or why he is complaining about the Transform in the first place, seems like the string is working just fine.

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates;
using ExitGames.Client.Photon;
using Photon.Pun;
using Photon.Realtime;
using UnityEngine;

public class PhotonAudioEventHandler : MonoBehaviour
{
    public const byte TriggerMasterAudioOneShotEventCode = 1;

    public static PhotonAudioEventHandler Instance;

    void Awake()
    {
        if (Instance == null)
        {
            Instance = this;
        }
        else
        {
            Debug.LogWarning("Already got one of these, destroying myself.");
            Destroy(this);
        }
    }

    public void TriggerMasterAudioEvent(string sfxName, Transform playbackPosition)
    {
        object[] content = new object[] {sfxName, playbackPosition};
        RaiseEventOptions raiseEventOptions = new RaiseEventOptions {Receivers = ReceiverGroup.All};
        PhotonNetwork.RaiseEvent(TriggerMasterAudioOneShotEventCode, content, raiseEventOptions, SendOptions.SendReliable);
    }
}

And this is the receiver.

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using ExitGames.Client.Photon;
using Photon.Realtime;
using UnityEngine;
using DarkTonic.MasterAudio;
using Photon.Pun;

public class PhotonAudioEventReceiver : MonoBehaviour, IOnEventCallback
{
    void OnEnable()
    {
        PhotonNetwork.AddCallbackTarget(this);
    }

    void OnDisable()
    {
        PhotonNetwork.AddCallbackTarget(this);
    }

    public void OnEvent(EventData photonEvent)
    {
        Debug.Log("OnEvent() was called!");
        if (photonEvent.Code == 1)
        {
            print("Received event with index 1!");
        }
    if (photonEvent.Code == PhotonAudioEventHandler.TriggerMasterAudioOneShotEventCode)
        {
            Debug.Log("Event is TriggerMasterAudioOneShotEvent.");
            object[] data = (object[])photonEvent.CustomData;
            string sfxName = data[0] as string;
            Transform playbackTransform = data[1] as Transform;

            MasterAudio.PlaySound3DAtTransformAndForget(sfxName, playbackTransform);
        }
    }

}

Then in another script i tried calling

PhotonAudioEventHandler.Instance.TriggerMasterAudioEvent(startSFX, Jan);

but ended up with an error message.

Exception: Write failed. Custom type not found: UnityEngine.Transform.

It goes on quite a bit longer with protocol18.Write statements I can't copy easily right now as i'm on the wrong computer, can post whole log if needed later. The last statement is:
"ExitGames.Client.Photon.Protocol18.WriteCustomType(ExitGames.Client.Photon.StreamBuffer stream, System.Object value, Boolean writeType)(at 'harddrive-location')

Does anyone quickly see what i'm doing wrong? Got a looming deadline, any kind of help would be highly appreciated!

Peace,
LaKawa

Question about OpRaiseEvent() and SendOutgoingCommands()

August 20, 2020, 9:11 am

≫ Next: Photon Voice 2.20 - error with iOS

≪ Previous: Photon Resources RAM Usage

Hello,

We just started using Photon Realtime for our Unity game (we're not using PUN because we already have the object state / delta compression logic built in our game, we only use Photon Cloud as kind of a relay server, which served just fine), and have a few questions:

1) We use a byte array as the "customEventContent" parameter for OpRaiseEvent(). I know that this call does not immediately send, but only place in send buffer until SendOutgoingCommands() is called. My question is, can I reuse the same byte array for multiple OpRaiseEvent() calls, but with different content? The reason was to save some GC calls. My understanding is that OpRaiseEvent() would serialize the data. Does that mean the custom payload data is cloned in the process? If so, it would be safe for me to reuse the buffer, even if the previous event is not sent out yet?

2) Based on https://doc.photonengine.com/en-us/realtime/current/troubleshooting/analyzing-disconnects#unity, it looks like SendOutgoingCommands() is thread safe? If so, can I just run a non-Unity thread and have it call SendOutgoingCommands() periodically, rather than doing it in a MonoBehaviour, so that it would work regardless whether Unity's main thread is stuck at loading scenes?

And another unrelated question,
3) We found it takes a while to connect to name server -> receive region list -> call PingMinimumOfRegions() -> find best region, which is reasonable since it needs to send ping request to each region. My question is, is the client counted towards CCU while discovering the best region? If it does not, I would like to have each client perform this ping on application start, to reduce the handshaking time when a room is needed. However if that would affect CCU then we need to evaluate more carefully (as some players might only play single player and does not need this info at all).

Thank you very much!

Hi - I'm building for WebGL in Unity 2019.4.7f1 using the latest PhotonVoice. The following error appears in console:

Assets\Photon\PhotonVoice\PhotonVoiceApi\Platforms\Unity\UnityMicrophone.cs(57,25): error CS1002: ; expected

However the code for this class looks ok in Visual Studio. Anyone else seeing this?

Hey Guys,
I get the following Error when selecting the ServerSettings Asset in the Editor:

Using Advanced Tutorial, Clients Have Equal Control Over All Entities in The Lobby

≪ Previous: PhotonServerSettings Error in Editor

I've been following the "Advanced Tutorial" for Bolt and just ran into an issue that I cannot seem to get around. I've managed to establish a connection which creates two drivable cars that use Unity Physics and move using wheel colliders. When two connections enter a lobby, everything works wonderfully. Two cars are instantiated, and the players can drive the cars. The problem is that each connection's input actually controls both cars at the same time rather than just their own vehicle.

I initially thought this had to be an issue with how control of the entities were assigned, so I checked the tutorial and the code (as well as mine) uses: entity.AssignControl(connection);

I'm stumped. I physically have two vehicles with two connections, but I can't seem to give each connection individual control. I've tried double checking the tutorial, but I can't find any noticeable differences between what was taught and what I have. I was hoping to get some insight to what might be causing this particular issue.

Summary: Each Photon Bolt Connection has the same control as each other over all vehicle entities in the lobby. Instead of this, I want each connection to have control of an individual vehicle, not all vehicles.

Here is what I believe to be the relevant script:

using UnityEngine;

public class TutorialPlayerObject
{
public BoltEntity character;
public BoltConnection connection;

public bool IsServer
{
get { return connection == null; }
}

public bool IsClient
{
get { return connection != null; }
}

public void Spawn()
{
if (!character)
{
character = BoltNetwork.Instantiate(BoltPrefabs.SedanCar, RandomPosition(), Quaternion.identity);

if (IsServer)
{
character.TakeControl();
}
else
{
character.AssignControl(connection);
}
}

// teleport entity to a random spawn position
character.transform.position = RandomPosition();
}

Vector3 RandomPosition()
{
float x = Random.Range(-16f, +16f);
float z = Random.Range(-16f, +16f);
return new Vector3(x, 5f, z);
}
}

Thank you to anyone who answers

Why is the master client destoying children but the other clients are destroying parent game objects

≪ Previous: Upgrading getting problem

I have several Scene Objects that destroy themselves after they do a thing. The script is on a child of the object that needs to be destroyed. Both the parent and the child object have Photon Views. These are Scene Objects so it is up to the Master Client to destroy them.

I look for the parent Photon View ID and use PhotonNetwork.Destroy.

This works great on all of the clients. For some reason, the master destroys the child and leaves the parent object.

while (condition == true)
	{
            //Do something
            //When done, break out of the loop
	}
            int viewID = GetComponentInParent<PhotonView>().ViewID;
            this.photonView.RPC("RPC_ForceMasterClientReplaceStumpWithAshes", RpcTarget.MasterClient, viewID);

[PunRPC]
    void RPC_ForceMasterClientReplaceStumpWithAshes(int viewID)
    {
        Debug.Log("RPC destroy stump ViewID: " + viewID);
        PhotonNetwork.Destroy(PhotonView.Find(viewID).gameObject);
        PhotonNetwork.InstantiateSceneObject("Ashes", transform.parent.position, transform.parent.rotation);
    }

Hi guys, we are using PUN for almost a year and are very happy with it. The only problem we have is handling the case where the mobile app is going to the background and to trigger a successful reconnect and rejoin. We can’t seem to find some best practices or code snippets so we cooked up something ourselves. The following implementation seems to work most of the times but it’s not 100% reliable. We still have cases where the app is not successfully reconnecting and rejoining. We hope you could take the time and spot some problems with this script. We also hope you could provide us with a best practice for reconnecting and rejoining. https://pastebin.com/X83mubxf FYI: - The room we create has a PlayerTTL of 300000. - We are only targeting iOS. - PUN v2.7 - Unity 2018.3.5 Thanks!

PhotonNetwork.Disconnect() Problem

≫ Next: The type or namespace name 'SocketUdpNativeDynamic' could not be found?

≪ Previous: Photon calling OnDisconnectedFromPhoton() instantly in mobile but not in editor PUN 1 Classic

Hi.
I have a problem. I wanna load a level after getting diconnected from a room. But i can't do this

PhotonNetwork.Disconnect();
Application.Loadlevel();

Because if i do that, i doesn't disconnect fast enough and loads the level without getting disconnected. I also can't use this

void OnPhotonPlayerDisconnected()
{
    Application.Loadlevel();
}

Since that message only gets send to people inside the room that isn't disconnected. So i'm lost and can't find a logic to this one. Could use a timer, but if people lag or there is a server lag or something, that isn't gonna work. How could i make this?
