NetworkPeerType.Connecting

Unity Engine
1

I have a gui that uses Network.peerType to determin what buttons to present. Seems to work ok except for NetworkPeerType.Connecting. When I call Network.Connect() and there is no server up, I would expect Network.peerType to sit on NetworkPeerType.Connecting until it fails, but instead it sits on NetworkPeerType.Disconnected, which makes my GUI confusing for the user.

Anybody know how this is supposed to work?

I’ve noticed the same thing. My workaround is to use my own variable.

When I call Network.Connect, I set it to “Connecting”, then when OnConnectedToServer or OnFailedToConnect is called, I switch that variable accordingly manually.

I was doing something similar until I found the Network.peerType variable…and I tore out all my state management to use it instead. :cry:

It’s 2015 and the problem is still there.
