Network connected player list

Unity Engine
1

So how do I retrieve a list of “clients” that have connected to a server?

Ok, so I have worked it out… by using the OnConnectedToServer() function I can send RPCs with my player name and stuff… cool. But…

I am sending the networkplayer in the RPC call but how do I accedd the unique playerid of that player? I need to be able to use the playerid in my array incase the player disconnects… so I can remove them from my array of connected players.

I should add here that this list is just so a server can watch who is connecting before the game starts.

Maybe you’re looking for this function?

function OnPlayerDisconnected(player: NetworkPlayer) {
    Debug.Log("Clean up after player " +  player);
    Network.RemoveRPCs(player);
    Network.DestroyPlayerObjects(player);
}

When this happens, you just remove your player item from the array - probably easier if it’s an ArrayList.

You can also use Network.Connections to enumerate who is connected - it returns type NetworkPlayer.

Ahh, it was Network.Connections that I was looking for. Thanks Shaun. Again.
