[@gummyow3059]

These videos are stellar. I was wondering if you could do one on being able to see the other players weapon as well as health bars

[@mhze]

I agree

[@ggwp8618]

Did you find any thing on that? Where i can also see other Player name and health bar?

[@tonywangg]

Looks great so far

[@MrMikhaelJackson]

So cool bro I'm so proud of you! Suggestion: In the following video can you make the other player see your weapon.

[@flaviogrillini6818]

have you solved this issue? i have the same question

[@lwpysrc]

I cannot get the ChangeNickname to work, if i dont type anything then it gives the default nickname which i selected on the start, but once i type anything in the input bar and click to join room my nickname is empty.

[@IAMLLIAM]

hey man - i followed all of the steps very closely and still result in none of the scripts working? no errors, but there is absolutely no change on the textmesh on my player prefab. i'm not sure what i'm doing wrong.

[@BigMemerMan2]

Great tutorial, one issue. whenever the player dies and respawns for the first time is when the text actually displays the players name. prior to that its the placeholder text

[@fraiva22]

when i try to do the multiple spawn points this happens: transform[]' does not contain a definition for 'position' and no accessible extension method 'position' accepting a first argument of type 'Transform[]' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?

[@feimk7229]

public override void OnJoinedRoom() { base.OnJoinedRoom(); Debug.Log("Joined a room"); roomCam.SetActive(false); // Choose a random spawn point from the array Transform spawnPoint = spawnPoints[Random.Range(0, spawnPoints.Length)]; // Instantiate the player at the chosen spawn point GameObject _player = PhotonNetwork.Instantiate(player.name, spawnPoint.position, Quaternion.identity); _player.GetComponent().IsLocalPlayer(); _player.GetComponent().IsLocalPlayer = true; } public void RespawnPlayer() { // Choose a random spawn point from the array Transform spawnPoint = spawnPoints[Random.Range(0, spawnPoints.Length)]; // Instantiate the player at the chosen spawn point GameObject _player = PhotonNetwork.Instantiate(player.name, spawnPoint.position, Quaternion.identity); _player.GetComponent().IsLocalPlayer(); _player.GetComponent().IsLocalPlayer = true; _player.GetComponent().RPC("SetNickname", RpcTarget.AllBuffered, nickname); } That was the correction

[@sofykokoreva3107]

I seem to do everything by the video and still get one problem - the player's own name is shown on the floor next to it. Other players names are fine. Can you help me pls

[@meliodassama8751]

add a boolean in lookatcamera script or you can use health script boolean that is if (_player.GetComponent().isLocalPlayer == false) { transform.LookAt(Camera.main.transform); }

[@jayvardhanbhaskar7486]

Hey! I have been following all your videos from the starting and it has been a very nice journey. But I am having a issue at 7:04 in the video when you drag the Text into the Nickname Text. I am unable to get the two boxes which you got. Can you please help.

@haybale7483 i got ya broski check your player prefab make sure the main cam is still there but make sure its not active if that dont fix it idk

[@frizzyjuice3308]

hey dont know if youre still active on this series but when i get into the actual game after naming my player, it says in the player setup that the name is still blank. I also got one error and one warning. the warning said "Received RPC "SetNickname" for viewID 0 but this PhotonView does not exist! Was remote PV. Remote called. By: #01 '' Maybe GO was destroyed but RPC not cleaned up. UnityEngine.Debug:LogWarning (object)" and the error said "Illegal view ID:0 method: SetNickname GO:Player UnityEngine.Debug:LogError (object)" dont know if you can fix this but it was worth a try also i need your keyboard in my life

[@fraiva22]

Quick Question! how do I limit the amount of characters that can be used for a username

[@bigdogediting]

lol, your friends been going crazy?

[@fraiva22]

@@bigdogediting nah i js knew it would be annoying as hell in the long run lol

[@ACasualDev]

I know this is a year old, but figured i put an answer for anyone else looking for the same thing. in the Room Manager Script add [SerializeField] private TMP_InputField nameinput; [SerializeField] private int maxCharacters = 10; and in the start method add if (nameinput != null) { nameinput.characterLimit = maxCharacters; } That will limit how many characters for a username or player name

[@nerdyHellion]

I'm getting this error: "NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object FaceObjectToCamera.Update () (at Assets/FaceObjectToCamera.cs:15)" Is it possibly related to warnings I'm getting about "Assets\PlayerSetup.cs(11,23): warning CS0108: 'PlayerSetup.camera' hides inherited member 'Component.camera'. Use the new keyword if hiding was intended." and "'Weapon.camera' hides inherited member 'Component.camera'."?

[@juzerbaatwala8868]

make sure your player camera is tagged as "'Main Camera" in the inspector of the player camera

[@par6749]

@@juzerbaatwala8868 same here it is "Main Camera" but still same error

[@tozukoi2969]

for some reason i can not see the text do i have to add photon view to it

[@tozukoi2969]

when it plays it only shows a blue box with a capital T inside it but not the actual name

[@tozukoi2969]

its all good i fixed it by completley restarting :)

[@bananastutorials]

no, make sure you’re calling the RPC correctly and that the code is right. maybe it’s flipped 180 degrees

[@sabalax]

i cant click button or cant enter my nickname can someone help

[@Muao4472]

create a event system (UI)

[@MrMikhaelJackson]

sorry to bother you but it gives me a null reference exception when the name UI screen pops up and I can see the other player in the room cam.

[@MrMikhaelJackson]

and it's because of the face object to camera script

[@bananastutorials]

Make sure all objects are referenced in the room manager

[@MrMikhaelJackson]

got it its working now:)

[@YoNatrix]

in the nickname if you are alone in the server the text points at the player and its weird how do i make so that i cant see my own text?

[@bananastutorials]

Disable it using the on local player bit in the player setup

[@bnenanadev]

paste "nicknameText.gameObject.SetActive(false);" under isLocalPlayer() Prevents local player from seeing their own text

[@InfernalHedgehog]

I have a problem where the player can see their own nametag and its permanently on the floor next to them

[@InfernalHedgehog]

oh no its fine i fixed it

[@InfernalHedgehog]

i realised that i used the 'create empty parent' button and assumed that it would zero all of the transforms on the TMP and apply them to the parent but it didnt.

[@polyhally]

the nametags are not replicating like what so ever when a new player joins the game the nickname is ""

[@bubacisko5181]

It doesnt work for me. It doesnt show up my character in playersetup

[@ImGoneButItWasntAlwaysThisWay]

Same. Have you found a fix?

hi i dont know if you still react but i cant use the input test and button they dont work for me

make sure that the button and input field are both children of the name screen, make sure that they aren't children of anything else except the name screen, if this is what u meant
