Hi @MasterOX 水. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base.

----------------------
In NormalVR's Realtime API, you can use the

RealtimeView

RealtimeView

's ownership model to designate the first client that joins as the owner.

When a client creates a

RealtimeView

RealtimeView

, you can set the "Owned by Creating Client" property to true. This is a boolean that specifies whether Realtime should request ownership when this view is created. It can be useful for establishing a main client if needed.

Here is how you can do it:

If you're instantiating a
```
RealtimeView
```
```
RealtimeView
```
via
```
Realtime.Instantiate()
```
```
Realtime.Instantiate()
```
, you can set the field to true. This ensures the
```
RealtimeView
```
```
RealtimeView
```
on the root of the prefab is owned by the local client when instantiated.

GameObject myObject = Realtime.Instantiate("My Object", ownedByClient: true);

GameObject myObject = Realtime.Instantiate("My Object", ownedByClient: true);

If you're using a
```
RealtimeView
```
```
RealtimeView
```
that exists in the scene, you can set the "Owned by Creating Client" property to true in the Unity inspector under the Advanced Settings of the
```
RealtimeView
```
```
RealtimeView
```
.

Remember, ownership in NormalVR is enforced by the server. If a view is owned by a particular client, other clients will be unable to change any permissions on the view, its components, or its child views and their components.

For more information, you can refer to the RealtimeView documentation (https://normcore.io/documentation/realtime/realtimeview#ownership--lifetime-flags) and the Ownership and Lifetime Flags documentation (https://normcore.io/documentation/room/ownership-and-lifetime-flags#realtimeinstantiate--ownedbyclient).

MMasterOX 水 how do i mark the first user that joins as a room owner

cryptomax•4/26/24, 9:06 AM

that would just make the object that is instantiated owned by the person who instantiated it not really help what you asked about.

Mechabit•4/26/24, 9:08 AM

you could have a scene view called "Owner" and you request ownership of it when you join

Mechabit•4/26/24, 9:08 AM

then the next person requests ownership if they leave

Mechabit•4/26/24, 9:08 AM

also the new lobby api has a "host"

Mechabit•4/26/24, 9:12 AM

or even easier method is just make the person with the lowest clientID the host

MMechabit or even easier method is just make the person with the lowest clientID the host

MasterOX 水OP•4/26/24, 9:13 AM

You can get the from the instance in NormalVR. The is a property of the class and it represents the local clientID of the instance.

Here is how you can access it:

In the code above, is the instance of the class you are working with.
