RealtimeComponent has been replaced with RealtimeComponent<TModel>

How do I upgrade RealtimeComponent? If I click the RealtimeComponent script that is marked as Deprecated it shows me Packages > Normcore > Normal.Realtime > 2019 > UnityEditor and opens the Normal.Realtime.dll. So I don't think I can edit this script?

I followed all the instructions to install Normcore 2. I have the latest package in Package Manager (2.13.2 released 1/14/2025 in the My Registries and 2.12.0 from 10/12/24 in My Assets).

My other Normcore scripts like RealtimeView and RealtimeTransform work fine.

I am trying to add a RealtimeComponent to a prefab so that if I toggle activeSelf, it will toggle active on all clients. Is there a different way to do this?

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

Based on the information provided in the knowledge sources, I can help you with upgrading from to and achieving your goal of syncing the active state across clients. Here's how you can proceed:

Upgrading to `RealtimeComponent<TModel>`:The `RealtimeComponent` class has indeed been replaced with `RealtimeComponent<TModel>`. This is part of the changes introduced in Normcore 2. You're correct that you can't edit the deprecated script directly, as it's part of the Normcore package.
Creating a custom component:Instead of using the deprecated `RealtimeComponent`, you should create a new custom component that inherits from `RealtimeComponent<TModel>`. Here's how you can do it:First, create a new model for your component:

Then, create your custom component:

Using the new component:Add this `ActiveStateSync` component to your prefab instead of the deprecated `RealtimeComponent`. When you want to toggle the active state, call `SetActive(bool)` on this component instead of directly setting `gameObject.SetActive()`.
Syncing across clients:With this setup, when you toggle the `activeSelf` state using the `SetActive` method of your `ActiveStateSync` component, it will automatically sync across all clients.

This approach follows the new pattern for custom classes in Normcore 2, as described in the Synchronizing Custom Data documentation.

Remember to compile your model if you're using Unity 2019/2020. For Unity 2021+, the model code is automatically generated.

If you need more detailed information about , you can refer to the RealtimeComponent<TModel> API reference.

@kapa.ai Ok. I implemented everything and there seem to be no errors. However, my object is still not being deactivated / activated when I call .GetComponent<ActiveStateSync>().SetActive(true)

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment!

I understand you've implemented the component as suggested, but you're still experiencing issues with activating/deactivating the object across clients. Let's troubleshoot this issue based on the information available in our knowledge sources.

First, make sure you're using instead of Unity's when creating your object. This is crucial for Normcore to properly set up the networking:

Source

Check if the component is properly set up on your prefab. The should list your component in its components list. If it doesn't appear there, try removing the component and re-adding it to your game object.

Source

Ensure that you're not checking the model property inside of or . Instead, move your initialization logic inside the method of your component.

Source

Make sure you're connected to the room before trying to modify the state. You can check this using or wait for the event to fire.
Verify that the ownership of the object is set correctly. If the object is not owned by any client, you may need to request ownership before making changes:

Source

Double-check that your has the parameter set in its attribute:

This is necessary for ownership to work properly.

Source

If you've verified all these points and the issue persists, it might be helpful to add some debug logging in your component to ensure that the method is being called and that the model is being updated correctly. If you're still encountering problems after these checks, you may want to reach out to the Normcore community on their Discord for more specific assistance.

@kapa.ai 1. I am using Realtime Instantiate. RealtimeView component shows the ActiveStateSync on my prefab. 2. RealtimeView shows the ActiveStateSync component in its components list.

My logic is in OnRealtimeModelReplaced

I spawn the prefab after didConnectToRoom fires.

I am spawning it with ownedByClient true

I added createMetaModel true

Still not working. Here is my code.
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

[RealtimeModel(createMetaModel: true)]
public partial class ActiveStateModel
{
[RealtimeProperty(1, true, true)]
private bool _isActive;
}

using UnityEngine;
using Normal.Realtime;
public class ActiveStateSync : RealtimeComponent<ActiveStateModel>
{
protected override void OnRealtimeModelReplaced(ActiveStateModel previousModel, ActiveStateModel currentModel)
{
if (previousModel != null)
{
previousModel.isActiveDidChange -= ActiveStateChanged;
}
if (currentModel != null)
{
if (currentModel.isFreshModel)
currentModel.isActive = false;
UpdateActiveState();

currentModel.isActiveDidChange += ActiveStateChanged;
}
}

private void ActiveStateChanged(ActiveStateModel model, bool value)
{
UpdateActiveState();
}

private void UpdateActiveState()
{
gameObject.SetActive(model.isActive);
}

public void SetActive(bool active)
{
model.isActive = active;
}

}

private System.Collections.IEnumerator RespawnComboBagCoroutine()
{

GameObject newBag = Realtime.Instantiate("ComboBag112 Variant", ownedByClient: true);

newBag.GetComponent<ActiveStateSync>().SetActive(false);

yield return new WaitForSeconds(3f);

newBag.GetComponent<ActiveStateSync>().SetActive(true);

}

Could there be an issue with calling the SetActive from an IEnumerator?

----------------------
Based on the code you've provided and the information from our knowledge sources, your implementation looks mostly correct. However, there are a few things we can check and potentially improve:

Coroutine Usage:Using an IEnumerator shouldn't be an issue by itself. However, make sure that the coroutine is actually running and not being stopped prematurely.
Ownership:You're instantiating the object with `ownedByClient: true`, which is correct. However, it's possible that ownership might be changing or not being set correctly. You can add a check to ensure the component is owned before setting the active state:

Debug Logging:
Add some debug logs to verify that your methods are being called and the model is being updated:

```csharp
public class ActiveStateSync : RealtimeComponent<ActiveStateModel>
{
// ... other code ...

private void UpdateActiveState()
{
Debug.Log($"UpdateActiveState called. Setting active to: {model.isActive}");
gameObject.SetActive(model.isActive);
}

kapa.ai•2/8/25, 3:51 AM

public void SetActive(bool active)
{
Debug.Log($"SetActive called with value: {active}");
model.isActive = active;
}
}

csharp
if (currentModel != null)
{
if (currentModel.isFreshModel)
{
Debug.Log("Fresh model detected. Setting initial state to false.");
currentModel.isActive = false;
}
UpdateActiveState();

currentModel.isActiveDidChange += ActiveStateChanged;
}
RealtimeViewActiveStateSync` component is being initialized. In that case, you might need to double-check your prefab setup in the Unity editor.
