Chat 5.5 synclist Stuck

Questions & Answers
1

I’ve been beating my head against the proverbial wall on this. I’m using the steps from the skimpy tutorial in that I have a networkmanager, and my players have networkidentity and networktransform. I don’t know what is happening here, but my syncliststring does’t appear to send changes to any client other than the one who sends the message. What am I missing???

using System;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.UI;
using UnityEngine.Networking;

public class ChatController : NetworkBehaviour
{
    public Text textPrefab;
    public RectTransform contents;
    public float originalHeight;


	public SyncListString chatLog = new SyncListString();



    void Start() { chatLog.Callback += OnLogChange; }

//	public override void OnStartLocalPlayer() {
//		base.OnStartLocalPlayer();
//		Debug.Log(GetPlayerName() + " Local player started");
//		Debug.Log(chatLog);
//		chatLog.Callback += OnLogChange;
//	}


    private void OnLogChange(SyncList<string>.Operation op, int itemIndex) {
        Text t = Instantiate<Text>(textPrefab, contents.transform);
        t.text = ": " + chatLog[itemIndex];
		//Debug.LogFormat("LogChange:  local={0}, text='{1}', player={2} chatLog size={3}", isLocalPlayer, t.text, GetPlayerName(), chatLog.Count);
        
        
        switch (op) {
            case SyncList<string>.Operation.OP_ADD:
          //      Debug.Log("?????");

                break;
            case SyncList<string>.Operation.OP_CLEAR:
                break;
            case SyncList<string>.Operation.OP_DIRTY:
                break;
            case SyncList<string>.Operation.OP_INSERT:
                break;
            case SyncList<string>.Operation.OP_REMOVE:
                break;
            case SyncList<string>.Operation.OP_REMOVEAT:
                break;
            case SyncList<string>.Operation.OP_SET:
                break;
        }
    }


    public void Workabout(string text) {
		CmdSendMsg(GetPlayerName() + ": " + text);
    }

    [Command]
    public void CmdSendMsg(string text) {
		//Debug.LogFormat("isServer({1}  Connections({0}) " , NetworkServer.connections.Count, isServer);

        chatLog.Add(text);
    }


	string GetPlayerName() {
		return GetComponentInParent<MR_PlayerController>().playerName;
	}
}

In case anyone is interested, I solved this by eliminating the synclist and just sending manually:

public class ChatController : NetworkBehaviour
{
	public Text textPrefab;
	public RectTransform contents;
	public float originalHeight;


	public override void OnStartLocalPlayer() {
		base.OnStartLocalPlayer();
		MR_NetworkManager.Instance.client.RegisterHandler(MR_MessageTypes.CHAT_MESSAGE, OnChat);
	}


	void OnChat(NetworkMessage msg) {
		ChatMessage m = msg.ReadMessage<ChatMessage>();
		Instantiate<Text>(textPrefab, contents.transform).text = m.ToString();
	}



	public void Workabout(string text) {
		CmdSendMsg(text);
	}


	[Command]
	public void CmdSendMsg(string text) {
		ChatMessage msg = new ChatMessage(GetPlayerName(), text);
		NetworkServer.SendUnreliableToAll(MR_MessageTypes.CHAT_MESSAGE, msg);
	}



	string GetPlayerName() {
		return GetComponentInParent<MR_PlayerController>().playerName;
	}
}

public class ChatMessage : MessageBase
{
    public string fromPlayer;
    public string messageText;

    public ChatMessage() : base() { }
    public ChatMessage(string from, string text) : base() {
        fromPlayer = from;
        messageText = text;
    }

    public override string ToString() {
        if (fromPlayer == null) {
            return "<color=yellow>System: " + messageText + "</color>";
        }
        return fromPlayer + ": " + messageText;
    }
}

I guess synclist isn’t ready for prime time.
