Unity and Networking

[qda-dev]

Hi,

So i'm trying to have a hand model in Unity scene using UNET. My first attempt is to use the capsule hand. The hand appear but are doubled, i.e. I get two left hands (one synced with tracked data, is other isn't) and two right hands once connected to he online scene.

Any ideas what could be causing this ?

Sorry for the delay in response. Our team is heads-down on building the next Core Assets release, and the Capsule Hands are going to require some investigation with that use case. That will take some time, but it's definitely something we want to do.

No problem.

In the mean time, I found a solution.
So I created a new prefab mixing the solution from the Leap Core assets and the one from OVR using this post. An instance of that prefab is created when the user is spawn after connection to the server is established

I had to tweak the HandPool script so the model pool initialisation is done differently. The HandCollection is filled on the Awake with instances of prefab created at runtime (the 4 of them). So on start, everything is right and I don't have any warning.

It's worth noting that the hand themselves are not synchronised, only their general position in the scene.

Hello，I am an amateur developer of leapmotion. Today I made a simple synchronized scene of HandController. In my mind I just regard HandController as a simple Input-Update GameObject. So I just use NetworkManagerHUB to make a tentative try. However,as I open two instances of the program as client and server. I found that only the active window(who get the input) could capture hands, the hands in the other window are immobile. The hierarchy of my prefab is simple ----- just HandControllers！I have no idea about this, could you please provide me with some insight about the problem? I am very grateful if you could do me this favor.

To allow background apps to get frames, you need to enable the "background frames" policy in that app. To do this, get the Leap.Controller object from your HandController with GetLeapController() and call Controller.SetPolicy(). In a script attached to the HandController object, do something like::

HandController handController = GetComponentInParent<HandController>();
Controller leapController = handController.GetLeapController();
leapController.SetPolicy (Controller.PolicyFlag.POLICY_BACKGROUND_FRAMES);

Hi, I meet the same problem. I got two left hands and two right hands in the single Client/Host scene and they seem to receieve data from the Leap the local computer connected to. After reading UNET docs I think I need to add some sync mechanism to some crucial functions. If you have finished the project, could you tell me where I should add these codes? Thank you very much!

Thank god I found the information I need to fix this same problem. As I thought i think I missed something and I can't figure it out glad I found this helpful thread.
