How can i add a delay in my scripts?

[little seal]

u can click play in my game and itl ask you if u want to host be a client or singleplayer, if u choose host it does indeed host, and it brings you to the game scene

but the issue is it doesnt create a player prefab, netcode for unity already does that tho, but in my active scene, so rn whats happending its creating a player prefab in the main menu scene then it transports me into my game scene

i was thinking to maybe add a delay to the host? or maybe have a bool in the other scene to check if im hosting. singleplayer or a client, so when i click singleplayer and the bool singleplayer is true i can start a player prefab with no isseus, and if its multiplayer then make it so it hosts in the game and not dirrectly in the scene

how many cameras

[little seal]

the tutorials only use 1 camera a top down view of all the players wilst in my game all players have cameras

ohhh

same thing with canvas right?

[marble oar]

yes LOL

[little seal]

how do i even do that?

once the game starts it checks for only 1 player prefabs then insta parents a camera?

but my cam has some stuff related to it

[marble oar]

that's one way

[little seal]

but is it even a good way?

make like a player prefab of the camera once game starts it gets the player prefab then parents it to it and once it does that then i can make it so it never does it againț

[little seal]

is this idea ecven good?

[marble oar]

it's alright. not going to cause you major problems. ideally you won't parent so that the camera and player can move slightly free of each other. like if you want camera smoothing

[marble oar]

terrible

[little seal]

oh

then what else can i rlly do?

[marble oar]

anything that depends on timing is pretty easy to break

[little seal]

i know why its wrong and i think i know how to do it

[marble oar]

imagine if the server lags a bit more

[little seal]

huh?

no thats the thing

instead of hosting the game with a button it just turns a bool to true and once the game starts it checks if that bool is true then it hosts it

like a bool multiplayer;

if buttonpressed Multiplayer == true;

[marble oar]

there should be a "proper" way to do this using netcode

[little seal]

then in the game it would be smth like

void start
if multiplayer = true;
Network.singleton.hostStart();

[little seal]

idk how ih vae 3 tutorials on

thats im currently using none of them are doing what i need

[marble oar]

so find another one? or read docs

[little seal]

"Add Multiplayer, its going to improve ur game and it isnt hard at all" they said

by the looks of it this does the thing i ned too

[marble oar]

Who said this

[little seal]

everyone

[marble oar]

Name one person

[little seal]

no one said this from this server but alot of em said em from enardos server

[marble oar]

lol

[little seal]

Smth
larry
Smelly
Enardo
Throat
Concryo
Seppe
Pus*y (odd name i know)

the list goes on and on

you can join the server and check the names if u dont believe me

[marble oar]

well i think they might be a bit mistaken on how easy it is

[little seal]

i knew its hard asf, mostly cause i made a game MEANT FOR SURVIVAl so i had to rebuild so much code and i still have too

question is do i add lobbies and stuff? i dont think the game will be popular, all i can think of is maybe like a pregame lobby where u can see the id or maybe put the server ID in the corner

[little seal]

that tutorial doesnt have a similar thing to mine i cant rlly find a good one

it has a ingame thing

it asks if u want to host in the game scnee

[marble oar]

maybe you should start another question

and have a very clear explanation in the question body

[little seal]

why? this is the exact question i had at the begining

[little seal]

what would i name it tho?

[marble oar]

no the exact question you had was adding a delay in your scripts

[little seal]

saying "how to add multiplayer" is kinda not the thing im looking for

[little seal]

yeah cause i still cant find any other way

[marble oar]

I don't know because I don't know what you're asking

Describe specifically your problem

[little seal]

how would i connect a client to a game?

thats mostly it

i dont rlly know how the phrase it differently

connecting a clinet in the game and not in the main menu?

that seems vague
