Player Respawn¶

3 - 5 minutes read

As the players shoot each other, their hp reaches 0 and stays at 0. You can add another remote event to trigger the player explosion death effect.

Player Explosion¶

Add another remote event and name it "killed".

In the PlayerHP.cs Script:

Add a RemoteEventAgent property and initialize it in the Start() method.

RemoteEventAgent remoteEventAgent;

void Start()
{
    hpSlider.minValue = 0;
    hpSlider.maxValue = maxHp;

    networkId = GetComponent<NetworkID>();
    syncPropertyAgent = gameObject.GetComponent<SyncPropertyAgent>();
    remoteEventAgent = gameObject.GetComponent<RemoteEventAgent>();
}

Update the OnHpChanged() method to invoke the "killed" remote event when hp is 0.

public void OnHpChanged()
{
    // Update the hpSlider when player hp changes
    currentHP = syncPropertyAgent.GetPropertyWithName("hp").GetIntValue();
    hpSlider.value = currentHP;

    if (currentHP == 0)
    {
        // invoke the "killed" remote event when hp is 0. 
        if (networkId.IsMine)
        {
            remoteEventAgent.Invoke("killed");
        }
    }
}

Add RemoteKilled() method to handle the "killed" remote event.

public void RemoteKilled()
{
    Instantiate(explode, transform.position, Quaternion.identity);
}

Hook up the event listener in the Editor Inspector.

Tip

Make sure you applied the changes to the Player Prefab

Respawning the Player¶

In the GameSceneManager.cs script, add the following methods to respawn the player.

public void DelayedRespawnPlayer()
{
    // Respawn the player in 1 second
    StartCoroutine(RespawnPlayer(1f));
}

IEnumerator RespawnPlayer(float delayTime)
{
    yield return new WaitForSeconds(delayTime);

    // Respawn the player at a random SpawnPoint
    int spawnPointIndex = Random.Range(0, 3);

    NetworkClient.Instance.LastSpawner.SpawnForPlayer(0, spawnPointIndex);
}

In the PlayerHP.cs script, update the RemoteKilled() method.

public void RemoteKilled()
{
    Instantiate(explode, transform.position, Quaternion.identity);

    // Only the source player GameObject should be respawned. 
    // SceneSpawner will handle the remote duplicate creation for the respawned player.
    if (networkId.IsMine)
    {
        GameSceneManager gameSceneManager = FindObjectOfType<GameSceneManager>();

        // Call the DelayedRespawnPlayer() method you just added to the GameSceneManager.cs script. 
        gameSceneManager.DelayedRespawnPlayer();

        // Ask the SceneSpawner to destroy the gameObject. 
        // SceneSpawner will destroy the local Player and its remote duplicates.
        NetworkClient.Instance.LastSpawner.DestroyGameObject(gameObject);
    }
}
