Is there a way to disable the start up popup to show up? If there’s none, I would like to ask to add a toggle for it like “Don’t show again”.
The reason is that when I use Unity’s Multiplayer Play Mode, it throws an error because of the popup. I can work around it by exiting and entering play mode again but it’s kind of a hassle to do it when I restart the clones. Thank you.
Hi there, wanted to ask, which version of A* were you using? I’m building a multiplayer game myself and I don’t remember either the start up popup showing up again, or it popping up in Multiplayer Play Mode. I’m checking this out now though on a blank project to see if I can replicate it. Will get back to ya in a sec!
So I installed Multiplayer Play Mode on my blank project, I saw the error you’re talking about, so I restarted Unity and then… the Startup popup showed up on the main editor? I removed Multiplayer Play Mode, and restarted Unity again… then the start up popup did not show up. But with Multiplayer Play Mode it only showed up in the main editor once- for Player 2 since it’s deactivated every time I restart it, I did see the error.
I’ll let @aron_granberg know that this is happening. Quick question for you OP; is the null exception error causing any issues with running the game on your end? I can’t imagine it is, but I wanted to make sure it’s not interfering with your game in any more serious capacity. That said, I don’t want to minimize your issue with the error popping up at all (I get how annoying a stacked Console can be to work with lol).
The start popup should only be shown once. It saves a boolean in ProjectSettings/com.arongranberg.astar/settings.asset that indicates that the screen has been shown, and then it should never be shown again on the same machine. Is this not what you are seeing?
On my end, it seems to be popping up again specifically in the extra players windows with Unity’s new Multiplayer Play Mode package. IIRC, when I keep restarting Unity, the main player would only show it once, but when I had Multiplayer Play Mode, Player 2 would show it every time it activated the player.
