Photon synchronization

Questions & Answers

Im having a hard time synchronizing weapons for my character. I have a GameObject “WeaponAttacher” that holds the position and rotation for the weapon, it is a child of the hand bone. When i equip a weapon i set the weapon gameobjects rotation and position to the attachers and i parent it to the attacher gameobject. I dont get what i need to synchronize for other clients to see.

WeaponSlot = (GameObject)PhotonNetwork.Instantiate (name, WeaponAttacher.position, WeaponAttacher.rotation, 0);
				WeaponSlot .GetComponent<DroppedItem> ().item = itemDatabase.getNewItem(id);
				WeaponSlot .transform.parent = WeaponAttacher;
				EquippedWeaponSlot = WeaponSlot ;

The EquippedWeaponSlot is just a reference to the currently equipped weapon, as i have 2 slots for weapons.

The weapon is instantiated in the right place, its just not following the movement it should.

This is the syncronization code:

void OnPhotonSerializeView (PhotonStream stream, PhotonMessageInfo info) {
		
		if (stream.isWriting) {
			stream.SendNext (WeaponAttacher.transform.rotation);
			stream.SendNext (WeaponAttacher.transform.position);
			stream.SendNext (WeaponSlot.transform.position);
			stream.SendNext (WeaponSlot.transform.rotation);
			stream.SendNext (transform.Find("metarig/hips/spine/chest/shoulder.L/upper_arm.L/forearm.L/hand.L").position);
			stream.SendNext (transform.Find("metarig/hips/spine/chest/shoulder.L/upper_arm.L/forearm.L/hand.L").rotation);
		} else {
			WeaponAttacherRecievedRotation = (Quaternion) stream.ReceiveNext();
			WeaponAttacherRecievedPosition = (Vector3) stream.ReceiveNext();
			WeaponSlotRecievedRotation = (Quaternion)stream.ReceiveNext ();
			WeaponSlotRecievedPosition = (Vector3)stream.ReceiveNext();
			handBonePosition = (Vector3) stream.ReceiveNext();
			handBoneRotation = (Quaternion) stream.ReceiveNext();
		}
	}

and this is started as a coroutine from the start method after a check if !photonview.ismine:

IEnumerator UpdateData () {
		while (true) {
			    WeaponAttacher.transform.rotation = WeaponAttacherRecievedRotation;
				WeaponAttacher.transform.position = WeaponAttacherRecievedPosition;
				WeaponSlot.transform.rotation =WeaponSlotRecievedRotation;
				WeaponSlot.transform.position = WeaponSlotRecievedPosition;
				transform.Find("metarig/hips/spine/chest/shoulder.L/upper_arm.L/forearm.L/hand.L").position = handBonePosition;
				transform.Find("metarig/hips/spine/chest/shoulder.L/upper_arm.L/forearm.L/hand.L").rotation = handBoneRotation;



			yield return null;
		}
	}

Is order in OnPhotonSerializeView of stream.SendNext() and stream.ReceiveNext() correct?
You send position than rotation:

stream.SendNext (WeaponSlot.transform.position);
stream.SendNext (WeaponSlot.transform.rotation);

and You should read in the same order as you sent position than rotation:

WeaponSlotRecievedPosition = (Vector3)stream.ReceiveNext();
WeaponSlotRecievedRotation = (Quaternion)stream.ReceiveNext();
