Animation is invisible unless I am the host

Joachim · July 26, 2016

Dear fellow modders,

I have been working on porting snakes from Shipwrecked to DST. This all seemed to work perfectly when I was testing the game locally, i.e., when I was the host. However, when running the same version (I checked this multiple times) on a dedicated server, the snake suddenly becomes invisible for clients. I know the snake is there, because it keeps hitting me, but I can't hit it back.

I have no idea why this problem occurs, since I have worked on several prefabs (items, mobs, etc.). All of them worked both as host and as client, with the exception of the snake which only works as a host but not as a client (at least when it comes to showing the animation).

I have even made sure to insert the SetPristine code at the right location. Here is a snippet to show you this:

...

anim:SetBank("snake")
   anim:SetBuild("snake_build")
   anim:PlayAnimation("idle")
   inst.AnimState:SetRayTestOnBB(true)

inst.entity:SetPristine()

if not TheWorld.ismastersim then
return inst
end

inst:AddComponent("knownlocations")

   inst:AddComponent("locomotor") -- locomotor must be constructed before the stategraph
   inst.components.locomotor.runspeed = 3
   inst:SetStateGraph("SGsnake")

....

The only thing that makes the snake stand out in my mod is that it has a custom stategraph. I have, however, compared this to other stategraphs of DST, but I can't find anything special about this stategraph that would explain this. I have read somewhere that this might have to do with movement prediction and that it may help to add "nopredict" to the tag tables, but no luck there.

This is what the stategraph looks like:

require("stategraphs/commonstates")

local actionhandlers =
{
   ActionHandler(ACTIONS.EAT, "eat"),
   ActionHandler(ACTIONS.LAVASPIT, "spit"),
   ActionHandler(ACTIONS.GOHOME, "gohome"),
}

local events=
{
   EventHandler("attacked", function(inst) if not inst.components.health:IsDead() and not inst.sg:HasStateTag("attack") then inst.sg:GoToState("hit") end end),
   EventHandler("death", function(inst) inst.sg:GoToState("death") end),
   EventHandler("doattack", function(inst, data) if not inst.components.health:IsDead() and (inst.sg:HasStateTag("hit") or not inst.sg:HasStateTag("busy")) then inst.sg:GoToState("attack", data.target) end end),
   CommonHandlers.OnSleep(),
   CommonHandlers.OnLocomote(true,false),
   CommonHandlers.OnFreeze(),
}

local states=
{

   State{
       name = "gohome",
       tags = {"busy", "nopredict"},
       onenter = function(inst, playanim)
           if inst.components.homeseeker and
           inst.components.homeseeker.home and
           inst.components.homeseeker.home:IsValid() then

               --inst.components.homeseeker.home.AnimState:PlayAnimation("chop", false)
           end
           inst:PerformBufferedAction()
       end,
   },

   State{
       name = "idle",
       tags = {"idle", "canrotate", "nopredict"},
       onenter = function(inst, playanim)
           --inst.SoundEmitter:PlaySound("dontstarve/creatures/spider/idle")

           if playanim then
               inst.AnimState:PlayAnimation(playanim)
               inst.AnimState:PushAnimation("idle", true)
           else

If anyone can help me out, that would be great. Thanks in advance.

As always, it turned out to be something simple. I forgot to add a Network component. Silly me.

So in case anyone else has the same problem, don't forget to add the Network component, stupid!
