Solved Checking if player is fully loaded?

Hi Guys,

I have a timer that loops and gathers info from all players. One of the methods called is GetLocation(player). This works until a new player joins. The player has no location when they join the server (presumable as they haven't spawned in yet).

How can I check that each player in the loop has fully spawned so that I don't call GetLocation() and cause an error?

Current code for your reference:

Code:

void sendLocationLoop()
        {
            // IF no players online then no need to bother
            var playerSessions = GameManager.Instance.GetSessions().Values;
            timer.Repeat(10f, 0, () =>
            {
                if (playerSessions.Count() > 0)
                {
                    var playerLocData = new Dictionary<string, string>();
                    var players = new List<PlayerSession>();                    foreach (var player in GameManager.Instance.GetSessions().Values)
                    {
                        players.Add(player);
                    }                    foreach (var player in players)
                    {
                       var payload = new PlayerInfo
                       {
                                player_name = player.Name,
                                player_location = GetLocation(player)
                       };
                       playerLocData.Add(player.SteamId.ToString(), JsonConvert.SerializeObject(payload));
                    }                    PrintWarning(JsonConvert.SerializeObject(playerLocData));
                    playerLocData.Clear();
                    players.Clear();
                }            });        }

 

Thanks. You narrowed it down for me.
It was actually WorldPlayerEntity that hadn't been set when calling GetLocation so checking for a null value in that resolved the issue.

Like so:

Code:

                    foreach (var player in GameManager.Instance.GetSessions().Values)
                    {
                       // PrintWarning(player.WorldPlayerEntity.transform.position.ToString("G4"));
                        if (player.WorldPlayerEntity != null) players.Add(player);
                    }

 

Why not use session.isLoaded?

 

Simply because I never knew that one existed
Cheers mate. Another method to add to my arsenal
