Moving gameobjects manually vs DDOL

[rain osprey]

Hey there,

Just recognised a bit of a gap in my knowledge:
A few months back, I got the tip from you to move objects between scenes manually with
SceneManager.MoveGameObjectToScene( MultiplayerModeChanger.Instance.gameObject , SceneManager.GetActiveScene() );

Now I am wondering: is this needed for DDOL objects (singletons, more specifically)?
It seems to be causing some issues with it there, but since you recommended it last time I was changing scenes I'm wondering if I just understood something wrong.
Kind regards!

You can't DDOL player objects on server...you must move them to the appropriate scene on server for scene IM to work. On clients, DDOL is optional, and you don't move them to subscenes on clients.

we're not using IM

I made the players persist by making them DDOL, is that a bad thing?

Aside from that, I have code moving managers that aren't the players between scenes, that are singleton ddol, but it seems to give issues when moving those with the scene movegameobj

If you're not using Scene IM, then I've forgotten why you'd be using MoveGameObjectToScene at all.

Honestly, I don't think I understood it fully back then either - I never touched IM before

Back then I had used it on every single singleton I had... no IM or anything

When switching scenes, is there some sort of event I can listen in to for when each client has loaded into the scene? Given that they all transfer at the same time of course.

I am thinking of OnClientSceneChange, but that would only be for one client, right?

If you're doing NetworkManager.singleton.ServerChangeScene, OnServerReady will fire for each client after they get it loaded

Okay, nothing for when everyone is loaded and ready? I've implemented a custom handshake system now, which starts a handshake server side OnServerChangeScene, then OnClientSceneChanged it accepts the handshake - when all players accepted the code is run

But of course it would be a little overengineered if there was something built-in ready

[lime hazel]

OnServerReady fires for each client - increment a counter and compare to numPlayers...when equal they're all loaded and ready. Reset counter when calling ServerChangeScene

Internally Mirror sets all clients NotReady and then sends them all the scene message to change scenes. After loading it on client, Mirror sends Ready msg back to server, which invokes OnServerReady with the conn of the client so you know which one, but all you need is a counter there.

Okay, thank you
