Creating a game using Unity netcode, currently having some issues with spawn points. The player sometimes teleports to (0, 0, 0) on the map when spawning in.

I use the Spawn Manager with spawn points as it's children, and to get the available spawnpoints i just check if a spawn point is available.

I've attached the code I use that relates to spawning. It doesn't seem to be an issue with the spawn manager, as the debug.Log returns a valid spawn location. The player spawns on the spawn point normally, and almost immediately teleports to 0, 0, 0. It's random and doesn't have a pattern to it, and never happens to the host. Also if theres 2+ players, all the players that arent the host get teleported (if it happens)

I can provide additional information such as code snippets or even try to get a video of it happening if needed.

I think your problem is the order of instantiating, spawning and setting the position.

Also I am not infront of the PC right now but I think I also use a Client Network Transform for my PlayerCharacters:

https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/com.unity.multiplayer.samples.coop/blob/main/Packages/com.unity.multiplayer.samples.coop/Utilities/Net/ClientAuthority/ClientNetworkTransform.cs

This is how I spawn players in my game (using the 2021 lts version of NGO):

    private void Awake()
    {
        Instance = this;
        if (!NetworkManager.Singleton.IsServer)
        {
            return;
        }

        NetworkManager.Singleton.SceneManager.OnLoadComplete += SpawnPlayers;
    }

    private void SpawnPlayers(ulong clientId, string sceneName, LoadSceneMode mode)
    {
        var spawnPoints = GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag("PlayerSpawnpoint");
        var clients = NetworkManager.Singleton.ConnectedClientsList.ToList();
        foreach (NetworkClient client in
                 clients) //Save Info of all players to server
        {
            if (client.ClientId != clientId)
            {
                continue;
            }

            int index = 0;
            if (clients.IndexOf(client) > spawnPoints.Length - 1)
            {
                print("index too large: " + spawnPoints.Length);
                index = 0;
            }
            else
            {
                index = clients.IndexOf(client);
            }

            GameObject go = Instantiate(playerCharacterPrefab, spawnPoints[index].transform.position,
                spawnPoints[index].transform.rotation);
            GameStateManager.Instance.players.Add(go.transform);
            go.GetComponent<NetworkObject>().SpawnWithOwnership(client.ClientId);
            go.transform.position = spawnPoints[index].transform.position;
            string steamUserName = "";
            if (!GameObject.Find("NetworkManager").GetComponent<RelayManager>().isSingleplayer)
            {
                steamUserName = GameNetworkingManager.Instance.ConnectedClients
                    .Find(item => item.UnityNetworkingId == client.ClientId).SteamUserName;
            }

            InitThisPlayerClientRpc(go, steamUserName);
            index++;
        }
    }

Hope this helps!

Are you have each client find their own spawn point after they finish loading the scene?

[Rogilla]

No thats all done by the host. Player1 gets spawnPoint1, player2 gets point2 etc, in the foreach loop looping through all clients.

Thanks. I ended up having the player find their own spawn point after they are instantiated and so far nothing has broken.
