Add "Listen Server Host Mode" option to IOBS Event Hook

[DrDallas1]

Hia,

the IOBS event hook does not sync correctly in single player. All IOBS triggers in unity are dependent on the player.

Let me give an example:

• A specific IOBS object has an Interactibility condition where you can only press F if you x flag
• In multiplayer, this door works as intended: it can be manipulated, toggled remotely by unity, and only players with x flag can interact with it
• In singleplayer, this door does not work as intended. If you trigger the IOBS toggle in unity, if you don’t have x flag, it won’t move. (It treats all interactions with doors as being done by the one, currently active player)
• Same with rewards. Applies Interactibility rewards even if you trigger it remotely in unity. Please fix this unintended behavior! Make it so single player behavior is exactly the same as multiplayer!

Thank you, DrDallas

Can you elaborate on your setup please? Pressing F on the interactable uses the same RPC as if the singleplayer host or a multiplayer client calls the IOBS event hook methods. The difference is only if the dedicated server requests a change of state, in which case there is no player to associate with the request. My guess from your description is that in multiplayer it's being called by the server rather than by a client.

Yes exactly! In single player, all IOBS interactions are affected by the player. This means that in cases where a unity IOBS event hook triggers a state toggle, the reward and condition is applied to the one, single, player.

Basically: In single player, all IOBS door movements are the "fault" of the player, and the game checks if those IOBS doors are allowed to move (by looking at conditions & rewards)

But in multiplayer, doors are independent, and will always move if told to in Unity, regardless of any conditions or rewards (as they should).

To clarify, I think the multiplayer interpretation is the correct version, that should be carried into single player (it makes the most sense)

Example:

Let’s say there is an IOBS door that rewards you with flag “X” when clicked. This door is normally sunk into the ground, but when you trigger a specific NPC event, it rises out of the ground for a one time trigger.

Multiplayer

• Speak with NPC -> trigger NPC event -> trigger NPC event hook in unity -> toggle door state -> Door raises out of the ground -> any player can click F on it once to get the flag, in which case it goes down in the floor (Correct) Singleplayer:
• Speak with NPC -> trigger NPC event -> trigger event hook -> toggle state -> door raises out of the ground, and instantly gives the player the flag (just because it was raised by the NPC event) (incorrect)

(Maybe it would be better if I sent a video. I’ll do that later today.)

I don't think there's really a "correct" case, rather it would be useful to have an option for whether it's run as client or as server when run on the listen server host.

That’s wonderful! Thank you so much!
