Despawning Players Triggers Warning

[limber wadi]

Whenever I despawn a player, other clients (not including the host) get the following warning. I'm on 3.11.6.
Spawned NetworkObject was expected to exist but does not for Id 5. This may occur if you sent a NetworkObject reference which does not exist, be it destroyed or if the client does not have visibility.

Full warning message

Does the player have an nested network objects?

[limber wadi]

no

@solemn pecan do you have any ideas about this one, or what we should look for?

[solemn pecan]

I do not but the warning message is most likely correct.

It's possible you're destroying the object locally on clients before they get the despawn packet.

You can always add debug log to the void destroy on a player script to see the callback of what's taking it out.

i know I'm not manually destroying any objects; i just call Despawn() on the server. And OnDestroy is being called after i get the warning so maybe that helps narrow it down?

[solemn pecan]

Are we sure the objectId in the destroyed object is matching the warning?

Add this...

override void OnStartNetwork() => _theId = base.ObjectId;

then print that in destroy and see if it aligns

[solemn pecan]

Okay, if you override the OnStopNetwork I suppose that is probably calling before the warning?

Are you sure another script is not referencing the player and syncing it's object after despawning?

EG syncvar containing a script or nob reference of the Id 'not existing'

[limber wadi]

OnStopNetwork does get called before the warning

And what would count as a reference to the player "syncing its object"?

[solemn pecan]

Okay so a replicate is coming through after the object has despawned. I am assuming you're using pv2?

[limber wadi]

yes

[solemn pecan]

Alrighty. Pretty sure I know the cause but it should not actually be affecting anything. File a bug report please https://github.com/FirstGearGames/FishNet/issues
Put Pv2 in the title.

It's a pretty quick resolve.

ok sounds good
