Sorry for raising this issue . But i am facing a problem in 3d multiplayer.
where the 1person movements cannot been seen by the 2nd person . The second person remains idle but he can move around
I think the problem arises in the network.js script for updating character movements for the other person which is inRoot heirarcy . I have tried but cannot find the solution . Each time the code breaks …
please review my network.js script below …
var Network = pc.createScript('network');
// static variables
Network.id = null;
Network.socket = null;
// initialize code called once per entity
Network.prototype.initialize = function() {
this.player = this.app.root.findByName('Player');
this.other = this.app.root.findByName('Other');
var socket = io.connect('https://sore-bloom-beech.glitch.me'); // Glitch hosted server
Network.socket = socket;
socket.emit ('initialize');
var self = this;
socket.on ('playerData', function (data) {
self.initializePlayers (data);
});
socket.on ('playerJoined', function (data) {
self.addPlayer(data);
});
socket.on ('playerMoved', function (data) {
self.movePlayer(data);
});
socket.on ('killPlayer', function (data) {
self.removePlayer(data);
});
};
Network.prototype.initializePlayers = function (data) {
this.players = data.players;
Network.id = data.id;
for(var id in this.players){
if(id != Network.id){
this.players[id].entity = this.createPlayerEntity(this.players[id]);
}
}
this.initialized = true;
console.log('initialized');
};
Network.prototype.addPlayer = function (data) {
this.players[data.id] = data;
this.players[data.id].entity = this.createPlayerEntity(data);
};
Network.prototype.movePlayer = function (data) {
if (this.initialized && !this.players[data.id].deleted) {
this.players[data.id].entity.rigidbody.teleport(data.x, data.y, data.z);
}
};
Network.prototype.removePlayer = function (data) {
if (this.players[data].entity) {
this.players[data].entity.destroy ();
this.players[data].deleted = true;
}
};
Network.prototype.createPlayerEntity = function (data) {
var newPlayer = this.other.clone();
newPlayer.enabled = true;
this.other.getParent().addChild(newPlayer);
if (data)
newPlayer.rigidbody.teleport(data.x, data.y, data.z);
return newPlayer;
};
// update code called every frame
Network.prototype.update = function(dt) {
this.updatePosition();
};
Network.prototype.updatePosition = function () {
if (this.initialized) {
var pos = this.player.getPosition();
Network.socket.emit('positionUpdate', {id: Network.id, x: pos.x, y: pos.y, z: pos.z});
}
};
This is as expected, because the default network script only sends the position to the other user and not the animation. The other user cannot know what another player in the game is doing, until you send this information with the network script.
With this code you send the position to the other user:
With this code you apply the new position of all players:
In the project below I extend the default network script a bit and send also the rotation to the other user. This way you have to send all information that is needed.
No, that’s already in the script to send and apply the position. You have to do something similar for all other things, like the animation. Please check the post below.
okay so do i need to change the server side code too for positionUpdate . Because i have tried but cannot find a solution. or do i need to change in playerMovement.js ? Can you please provide any copy and paste solution for that to finally solve the proble , as each time i update in script is start showing some errors
update : i have used the above code you have given but the problem is it only updates the position not the animation of the other player …
