OnServerReadyToBeginMessage invalid playerControllerId 255

Unity Engine
1

Hi, I’m trying to make my own LobbyManager and LobbyPlayer scripts. Right now they “almost” work since both host and client can connect to the game but I get this error message and then the player prefabs don’t spawn in the game scene.

NetworkLobbyManager OnServerReadyToBeginMessage invalid playerControllerID 255
UnityEngine.Networking.NetworkIdentity : UNetStaticUpdate()

Wondering if anyone has run into this particular error since I haven’t been able to find it online. Below is my code for the LobbyManager. LobbyPlayer currently just sends ready to begin message at start and that’s it. The way LobbyManager works: 1) a button is pressed in the main menu and runs FindInternetMatch(), 2.a) if there is a match, it joins automatically, all players get ready and the match starts, or 2.b) if there is no match, it creates one and hosts it.

using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.Networking;
using UnityEngine.Networking.Match;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine.SceneManagement;
using UnityEngine.Networking.Types;
using System.Collections;

public class CustomLobbyManager : NetworkLobbyManager
{
    public GameObject playButton;

    void Start()
    {
        playButton.SetActive(true);
        NetworkManager.singleton.StartMatchMaker();
    }

    //call this method to request a match to be created on the server
    public void CreateInternetMatch(string matchName)
    {
        NetworkManager.singleton.matchMaker.CreateMatch(matchName, 4, true, "", "", "", 0, 0, OnInternetMatchCreate);
    }

    //this method is called when your request for creating a match is returned
    private void OnInternetMatchCreate(bool success, string extendedInfo, MatchInfo matchInfo)
    {
        if (success)
        {
            MatchInfo hostInfo = matchInfo;
            NetworkServer.Listen(hostInfo, 9000);

            NetworkManager.singleton.StartHost(hostInfo);
        }
        else
        {
            Debug.LogError("Create match failed");
        }
    }

    //call this method to find a match through the matchmaker
    public void FindInternetMatch(string matchName)
    {
        NetworkManager.singleton.matchMaker.ListMatches(0, 10, matchName, true, 0, 0, OnInternetMatchList);
    }

    //this method is called when a list of matches is returned
    private void OnInternetMatchList(bool success, string extendedInfo, List<MatchInfoSnapshot> matches)
    {
        if (success)
        {
            if (matches.Count != 0)
            {
                //join the last server (just in case there are two...)
                NetworkManager.singleton.matchMaker.JoinMatch(matches[matches.Count - 1].networkId, "", "", "", 0, 0, OnJoinInternetMatch);
            }
            else
            {
                CreateInternetMatch("First");
            }
        }
        else
        {
            Debug.LogError("Couldn't connect to match maker");
        }
    }

    //this method is called when your request to join a match is returned
    private void OnJoinInternetMatch(bool success, string extendedInfo, MatchInfo matchInfo)
    {
        if (success)
        {
            MatchInfo hostInfo = matchInfo;
            NetworkManager.singleton.StartClient(hostInfo);
        }
        else
        {
            Debug.LogError("Join match failed");
        }
    }

    public override void OnLobbyServerPlayersReady()
    {
        ServerChangeScene(playScene);
    }

    public override void OnLobbyClientSceneChanged(NetworkConnection conn)
    {
        if (SceneManager.GetSceneAt(0).name == lobbyScene)
        {
            playButton.SetActive(true);
        }
        else
        {
            playButton.SetActive(false);
        }
    }

    public override bool OnLobbyServerSceneLoadedForPlayer(GameObject lobbyPlayer, GameObject gamePlayer)
    {
        //This hook allows you to apply state data from the lobby-player to the game-player
        //just subclass "LobbyHook" and add it to the lobby object.

        //if (_lobbyHooks)
        //    _lobbyHooks.OnLobbyServerSceneLoadedForPlayer(this, lobbyPlayer, gamePlayer);

        return true;
    }

    public override void OnServerConnect(NetworkConnection conn)
    {
        Debug.Log(conn);
    }
}

Thanks in advance!

It got rid of the error message for me.
