Unity Photon PUN 2 Error Trying to connect

I have a problem here with Photon's PUN 2. Sometimes It works, but other times it doesn't. Since the last 2 weeks it isn't working that fine. Before it were better, I joined to the master, and then, to the lobby and It allowed me to list the rooms and join them without any problem. Now, I haven't changed that code that much, I only changed it after the errors started. Now, sometimes it joins a match, but another it doesn't, showing the following error:
JoinRandomRoom failed. Client is not on Master Server or not yet ready to call operations. Wait for callback: OnJoinedLobby or OnConnectedToMaster.
I only have 2 devices to test my online with PUN, but, even if I created a room is not working anymore, it just seems like works randomly. Here's my code if you want to check it:
void Start()
{
PhotonNetwork.ConnectUsingSettings();
}
// Update is called once per frame
void Update()
{
}
public override void OnJoinedLobby()
{
// /* print("Connected to lobby")*/;
}
public override void OnConnectedToMaster()
{
//This shows a popup to let know the player that is connected
//PhotonNetwork.JoinLobby();
base.OnJoinedLobby();
GameObject.Find("IWifi").SetActive(false);
print("Puga");
StatePScript.IsShow = true;
Connected = true;
GameObject.Find("IOk").GetComponent<Image>().color = Color.white;
print("IOKS Value is " + IOKS.Show);
GameObject.Find("StatusText").GetComponent<Text>().text = "Connected!";
GameObject.Find("StatusText").GetComponent<Text>().color = Color.green;
A.Play();
GameObject.Find("StatePanel").GetComponent<Animator>().SetBool("Show", false);
IOKS.Show = false;
GameObject.Find("IOk").GetComponent<Image>().color = new Color(0, 0, 0, 0);
Connected = false;
StatePScript.IsShow = false;
}
I have other photon scripts like this that is the random room code:
using UnityEngine.UI;
using Photon.Pun;
public class RandomBScript : MonoBehaviourPunCallbacks
{
// Use this for initialization
private Button B;
void Start ()
{
B = GetComponent<Button>();
B.onClick.AddListener(Clicker);
}
void Clicker()
{
PhotonNetwork.JoinRandomRoom();
print("Random");
}
public override void OnJoinRandomFailed(short returnCode, string message)
{
base.OnJoinRandomFailed(returnCode, message);
print(message);
}
}
The create room code:
using Photon.Pun;
using Photon.Realtime;
public class CreateRoomS : MonoBehaviourPunCallbacks
{
// Use this for initialization
private Button B;
private InputField IF;
private InputField PlayerField;
public AudioSource A;
void Start ()
{
B = GetComponent<Button>();
PlayerField = GameObject.Find("PlayerInput").GetComponent<InputField>();
IF = GameObject.Find("NameInput").GetComponent<InputField>();
B.onClick.AddListener(Clicker);
}
private void Awake()
{
}
void Clicker()
{
print("Trying To create a room...");
if (IF.text.Length > 0 && IF.text.Length <= 20)
{
int PlayerAmount = Int32.Parse(PlayerField.text);
RoomOptions roompos = new RoomOptions()
{
IsVisible = true, IsOpen = true, MaxPlayers = (byte)PlayerAmount
};
PhotonNetwork.CreateRoom(IF.text, roompos);
print("RoomCreated!");
}
else
{
A.Play();
}
}
public override void OnJoinedRoom()
{
print("We are in a room");
PhotonNetwork.LoadLevel("WaitScene");
}
public override void OnCreateRoomFailed(short returnCode, string message)
{
base.OnCreateRoomFailed(returnCode, message);
}
public override void OnCreatedRoom()
{
base.OnCreatedRoom();
print("We created the room");
}
// Update is called once per frame
public override void OnConnectedToMaster()
{
base.OnConnectedToMaster();
print("Connected to the master");
}
And finally, the list rooms code:
using Photon.Pun;
using Photon.Realtime;
using System.Reflection;
using System;
public class RooManager : MonoBehaviourPunCallbacks
{
// Use this for initialization
public GameObject roomPrefab;
public Sprite Four, Two, Three;
private string RoomName;
private int PlayerAmount;
private int MaxPlayers;
private Image I;
private Vector2 RoomVector;
private bool Lock = false;
public GameObject Content;
private List<RoomInfo> RoomList;
private bool IsntNull = false;
private Dictionary<string, RoomInfo> cachedRoomList;
private Dictionary<string, GameObject> roomListEntries;
private void Awake()
{
GameObject.Find("StatePanel").GetComponent<Animator>().SetBool("Show", true);
cachedRoomList = new Dictionary<string, RoomInfo>();
roomListEntries = new Dictionary<string, GameObject>();
}
void Start ()
{
Content = GameObject.Find("Content").GetComponent<GameObject>();
RoomVector = new Vector2(370, this.transform.position.y);
}
void Rooming()
{
PhotonNetwork.JoinLobby();
}
private void ClearRoomListView()
{
foreach (GameObject entry in roomListEntries.Values)
{
Destroy(entry.gameObject);
}
roomListEntries.Clear();
}
private void UpdateRoomListView()
{
foreach (RoomInfo Item in cachedRoomList.Values)
{
RoomName = Item.Name;
PlayerAmount = Item.PlayerCount;
MaxPlayers = Item.MaxPlayers;
RoomVector.y -= 100;
GameObject RoomPrefab = Instantiate(roomPrefab, RoomVector, transform.rotation) as GameObject;
if (Item.PlayerCount == 0)
{
Destroy(RoomPrefab);
}
print(PhotonNetwork.CurrentLobby.Name);
RoomPrefab.transform.Find("RoomName").GetComponent<Text>().text = RoomName;
RoomPrefab.transform.Find("PlayerInt").GetComponent<Text>().text = PlayerAmount.ToString();
if (Item.PlayerCount == 0)
{
}
if (Item.MaxPlayers == 4)
{
GameObject.Find("IPlayerA").GetComponent<Image>().sprite = Four;
}
else if (Item.MaxPlayers == 2)
{
GameObject.Find("IPlayerA").GetComponent<Image>().sprite = Two;
}
else if (Item.MaxPlayers == 3)
{
GameObject.Find("IPlayerA").GetComponent<Image>().sprite = Three;
}
RoomPrefab.transform.SetParent(Content.transform);
}
}
public override void OnRoomListUpdate(List<RoomInfo> roomList)
{
ClearRoomListView();
UpdateCachedRoomList(roomList);
UpdateRoomListView();
print("Updated");
}
private void UpdateCachedRoomList(List<RoomInfo> roomList)
{
foreach (RoomInfo info in roomList)
{
// Remove room from cached room list if it got closed, became invisible or was marked as removed
if (!info.IsOpen || !info.IsVisible || info.RemovedFromList)
{
if (cachedRoomList.ContainsKey(info.Name))
{
cachedRoomList.Remove(info.Name);
}
continue;
}
// Update cached room info
if (cachedRoomList.ContainsKey(info.Name))
{
cachedRoomList[info.Name] = info;
}
// Add new room info to cache
else
{
cachedRoomList.Add(info.Name, info);
}
}
}
This script instantiates a button for every room in photon's server. If you click one button, you join that room. As I said, sometimes it work and sometimes it doesn't, sometimes it helped to comment the line PhotonNetwork.JoinLobby(), but that means that you wont see the romos. Actually, even with or without the JoinLobby() line, it isn't working that well.

Wait for input from a textbox, similar to Console.Read()

So I'm trying to have the user enter some input which derives its data from a class variable. The user will enter their input though a textbox and hit return when finished, causing the event to update the class variable. However, my issue is figuring out how to send a signal from the EventHandler to continue the process. I know a simple solution would be to put the code triggered inside the event method, but I want to use multiple methods with this textbox and input.
Here's what my code currently looks like:
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
private String input;
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
outbox.AppendText("Hello World!"); //outbox is the display
start();
}
private void inbox_KeyPress(object sender, KeyPressEventArgs e)
{
if (e.KeyChar == (char)13)
{
input = inbox.Text; //inbox is the textbox for input;
}
else
{
//do nothing
}
}
private void start()
{
outbox.AppendText("Enter one, two, three or four.");
//---
//this is where the issue arises
//---
if (text_input.Equals("one"))
{
outbox.AppendText("Sunflowers");
}
else if (text_input.Equals("two))
{
outbox.AppendText("Tulips");
}
else if (text_input.Equals("three"))
{
outbox.AppendText("Daisies");
}
else if (text_input.Equals("four"))
{
outbox.AppendText("Poppies");
}
else if (text_input.Equals("quit"))
{
Application.Exit();
}
else
{
outbox.AppendText("Try again.");
start();
}
}
}
What can I do to pause the program until the user hits return and passes a string to input?

You should probably separate the actions before user input from actions that should happen after user input.
If you want to implement different behaviours then it may help to store the program state, including the action you want to perform after user input is complete.
Try something like this, and adapt as required:
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
private String input;
private enum InputMode {
None,
Numbers
}
private class ModeDefinition{
public InputMode Mode {get; private set; }
public string Prompt{get; private set; }
public Action ActionMethod{get; private set; }
public ModeDefinition(InputMode mode, string prompt, Action actionMethod)
{
this.Mode = mode;
this.Prompt = prompt;
this.ActionMethod = actionMethod;
}
}
private InputMode currentMode;
private Dictionary<InputMode,ModeDefinition> modeDefinitions;
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
outbox.AppendText("Hello World!"); //outbox is the display
initialise();
currentMode = InputMode.Numbers;
commenceAction(modeDefinitions[currentMode]);
}
private void initialise(){
modeDefinitions = new Dictionary<InputMode,ModeDefinition>();
var def1 = new ModeDefinition(InputMode.Numbers, "Enter one, two, three or four.", numbersAction);
modeDefinitions.Add(InputMode.Numbers, def1);
}
private void commenceAction(ModeDefinition modeDefinition){
outbox.AppendText(modeDefinition.Prompt);
}
private void inbox_KeyPress(object sender, KeyPressEventArgs e)
{
if (e.KeyChar == (char)13)
{
input = inbox.Text; //inbox is the textbox for input;
var currentMode = modeDefinitions[currentMode];
// Execute the mode action
currentMode.ActionMethod();
}
else
{
//do nothing
}
}
private void numbersAction(){
if (text_input.Equals("one"))
{
outbox.AppendText("Sunflowers");
}
else if (text_input.Equals("two))
{
outbox.AppendText("Tulips");
}
else if (text_input.Equals("three"))
{
outbox.AppendText("Daisies");
}
else if (text_input.Equals("four"))
{
outbox.AppendText("Poppies");
}
else if (text_input.Equals("quit"))
{
Application.Exit();
}
else
{
outbox.AppendText("Try again.");
var currentMode = modeDefinitions[currentMode];
outbox.AppendText(modeDefinition.Prompt);
}
}
}

Don't know my solution is what y need
Firstly , u declare property like this
private string _content;
private string content
{
set
{
if (value != _content)
{
_content = value;
checkContent();
}
}
get
{
return _content;
}
}
private void checkContent()
{
if (content.Equals("one"))
{
outbox.AppendText("Sunflowers");
}
else if (content.Equals("two"))
{
outbox.AppendText("Tulips");
}
else if (content.Equals("three"))
{
outbox.AppendText("Daisies");
}
else if (content.Equals("four"))
{
outbox.AppendText("Poppies");
}
else if (content.Equals("quit"))
{
Application.Exit();
}
else
{
outbox.AppendText("Try again.");
start();
}
}
private void start()
{
outbox.AppendText("Enter one, two, three or four.");
}
private void inbox_KeyPress(object sender, KeyPressEventArgs e)
{
if (e.KeyChar == (char)13)
{
content = inbox.Text; //inbox is the textbox for input;
}
else
{
//do nothing
}
}
}

Access from my main form class into specific class method

This is my main form class and inside i have Stop button click event:
public partial class MainWin : Form
{
private Job job = new...
private void btnStop_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
job.state = true;
}
}
When my stop button clicked i change my job class member from false to true and what i want to do is when this variable changed to true i want to access to specific method inside job class and do something.
public class Job
{
public bool state { get; set; }
private void processFile() // i want access to this method in order to change other class state
{
// do work
}
}
how can i do it ?

It's really hard to tell what you exactly mean, but one way to invoke a method when the property is set would be to expand the auto property out and do exactly that.
public class Job
{
private bool state;
public bool State
{
get { return this.state; }
set
{
this.state = value;
processFile();
}
private void processFile()
{
// do work
}
}
However, just guessing and seeing this little bit of code, you might want to redesign how you're doing things.

If really don't want to expose you private method, you can do something like this:
public class Job
{
private bool state;
public bool State
{
get
{
return state;
}
set
{
if (state != value)
{
state = value;
OnStateChanged();
}
}
}
private void OnStateChanged()
{
if (state) // or you could use enum for state
Run();
else
Stop();
}
private void Run()
{
// run
}
private void Stop()
{
// stop
}
}
But you should really consider creating public Job.Run method and leaving Job.State readonly. If you want the object to perform some operations, the methods will be more suitable for this.

Create the Job class like this:
public class Job
{
private bool _isRunning = false;
public bool IsRunning { get { return _isRunning; } }
public void StartProcessing()
{
if (_isRunning)
{
// TODO: warn?
return;
}
ProcessFile();
}
public void StopProcessing()
{
if (!_isRunning)
{
// TODO: warn?
return;
}
// TODO: stop processing
}
private void ProcessFile()
{
_isRunning = true;
// do your thing
_isRunning = false;
}
}
Then consume it like this:
public partial class MainWin : For
{
private Job _job = new Job();
private void StartButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if(!_job.IsRunning)
{
_job.StartProcessing();
}
}
private void StopButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if(_job.IsRunning)
{
_job.StopProcessing();
}
}
}
Thread safety left out as exercise.

statechanging method

It's just a simple noobie question...
I often use something like this(code) to change my GUI, so my question is if there's something more useful than using bool variables?
Thanks!
//Unity3D - C#
public class GuiBehaviour : MonoBehaviour
{
private bool lookInside = false;
void OnGUI ()
{
if (!lookInside) {
if (GUILayout.Button ("Look Inside")) {
lookInside = true;
}
} else {
if (GUILayout.Button ("Exit View")) {
lookInside = false;
}
}
}
}

what about:
lookInside =!lookInside;
if(lookInside)
{
GUILayout.Button ("Look Inside")
}
else
{
GUILayout.Button ("Exit View")
}

Use different handlers for different buttons, assumes buttons are only visible in either view.
private void InitializeComponent()
{
lookInsideButton = new System.Windows.Forms.Button();
lookInsideButton.Click += new EventHandler(lookInsideButton_Click);
exitViewButton = new System.Windows.Forms.Button();
exitViewButton.Click += new EventHandler(exitViewButton_Click);
}
void lookInsideButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
ShowInsideView();
}
void exitViewButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
ExitInsideView();
}
System.Windows.Forms.Button lookInsideButton, exitViewButton;

I use enum for better readability and to have more than 2 states. For example:
public class GuiBehaviour : MonoBehaviour
{
private GUIState CurrentState;
enum GUIState
{
LookInside,
ExitView,
GameOverView
}
void OnGUI(GUIState state)
{
CurrentState = state;
switch(state)
{
case GUIState.LookInside:
GUILayout.Button("Look Inside");
break;
case GUIState.ExitView:
GUILayout.Button("Exit View");
break;
case GUIState.LookInside:
GUILayout.Button("Game over");
break;
}
}
}

C# Sql Server "loading window"

This is my first post here, but I've using this site regularly to help me with my own app's, and I should say that this site has been a great help to me, so thanks to everyone.
Now my question:
I'm developing my first software app that exchanges data between a sql server and the app itself. It's beeing developed in C#. Saving or retreiving data from the sql server database is no problem.
What I want is a way to inform the user of the delay between the local machine (where the app is installed) and the server. I can make some animations or simply display some text messages. What I need help with is how to create the code that activates/fires/runs when that server communication time is running.
If you can't understand the idea, picture a video game. When it's loading (in some games) you can see the loading screen before the game starts. I need some code that displays that "loading window" when the the app is downloading or uploading data from/to the server.
I would appreciate any code example or web site recommendation.
PS: Sorry for the extensive text, but I want to make sure everyone understand so I don't have to repeat it again :P

use like following code :

// If second param is true then it will close the form automatically.
// If third param is true the it will expose a cancel button, so you can cancel your Asynchronous operations.
I didn't insert design code, you can understand by looking at code.

First let me thank you for your replies.
Toby your answer got me thinking about thread monitoring my sql connections but it was a bit tricky and confusing since the app is still in develop and will use a lot more connections.
S.Amani answer it wasn't quite what I want, but thanks to that I found a easier way. I created a form (could be anything else), placed a label saying: Saving To Data Base, took out the top bar, defined location and defined it's parent to be disabled when shown and enabled when closed. The following code is what I put inside my DataBaseInteractionClass
private Wait myCustomWaitDialog = new Wait(); // My Waiting form
private void SaveToDatabase(myObjectToSave obj) // Method called to save data do DB
{
// Create the connections and queries
(...)
// This is what I did
// Show Waiting Form
myCustomWaitDialog.Show();
// Instanciate the command that will carry the query and to DB
SqlCommand command = new SqlCommand(Queries.GetData(code), conn);
// This is important
//Create event that will fire when the command completes
command.StatementCompleted += new StatementCompletedEventHandler(command_StatementCompleted);
// Execute the transaction
SqlDataReader reader = command.ExecuteReader();
// Rest of the code (validations, close connections, try/catch, etc
(...)
}
void command_StatementCompleted(object sender, StatementCompletedEventArgs e)
{
// This is the method that closes my Waiting Dialog
myCustomWaitDialog.CloseDialog();
myCustomWaitDialog.Dispose();
}
It's not quite what I want yet, but is the best solution that I found so far. For now it will do :)
Anyway, thanks for the replies and I hope this helps someone else.
