Hi @fgamez1020. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base.

Hmm, I don't know enough to give you a confident answer yet. The provided knowledge sources do not contain specific information on how to wait for four players to connect before starting a game in NormalVR. However, you can typically achieve this by using a counter to track the number of connected players and starting the game when the counter reaches four.

For more detailed information, I recommend checking the NormalVR documentation (https://normcore.io/documentation/).

you can create a lobby and get players to join the lobby before loading the game scene

you can create an actual lobby scene + room but if you use a custom data sync to tell players which scene to load you'll have to wait 0.1 seconds to make sure the server gets the data before you switch scenes or use something like a string dictionary callback

alternatively you can use unity lobby and just have people join that before all jumping into the game scene + room

You can check how many players are in the room using clientID

How Can I achieve that? @xulipa

he means if you are clientID 3 there's maybe 4 players in the room but that's not a guarantee as client IDs can be skipped or reused if someone leaves. A better option is to check the unity lobby player count or use avatar manager avatars list

if (UpdateAvatar._realtimeAvatarManager.avatars.Count > 3)

This is how I'm using it. I got an UpdateAvatar script that has the realtime stuff in it.

using System;
using Normal.Realtime;
using UnityEngine;

public class UpdateAvatar : MonoBehaviour
{
public static int intClientID;
public static event Action<bool> LocalPlayerConnected;
public static RealtimeAvatarManager _realtimeAvatarManager;
public static RealtimeAvatar _realtimeAvatar;
public static Realtime _realtime;

private void Awake()
{
_realtimeAvatarManager = GetComponent<RealtimeAvatarManager>();
_realtimeAvatarManager.avatarCreated += AvatarCreated;
}

private void OnEnable()
{
if (_realtime != null)
_realtime.didDisconnectFromRoom += DidDisconnectFromRoom;
_realtimeAvatarManager.avatarCreated += AvatarCreated;
}

private void OnDisable()
{
if (_realtime != null)
_realtime.didDisconnectFromRoom -= DidDisconnectFromRoom;
}

private void AvatarCreated(RealtimeAvatarManager avatarManager, RealtimeAvatar avatar, bool isLocalAvatar)
{
if (isLocalAvatar)
{
_realtimeAvatar = avatar;
LocalPlayerConnected?.Invoke(true);
Realtime realtime = avatar.realtime;
uint clientID = (uint)realtime.clientID;
intClientID = (int)clientID;
// Debug.Log("Your client ID:" + intClientID);
}
}
