Hi, is there any way to get client A to client B ping when they are connected to the same server?
I need a way to get the direct ping from client A to client B, without going through the server.
Can client A get the NetworkPlayer of client B, and use GetAveragePing(client B)?
Or is Ping(client B) the only way?
Because I believe client A is able to join client B if client B hosts a server,
but client A is unable to use Ping(client B). This could be because when joining client B (server),
NAT punchthrough is used, and when using Ping(), there is no NAT punchthrough.
Can I use RPC call from client A to client B? Does the RPC go directly from A to B,
or does it go from A to MasterServer / Server to B?
What is the real route?
Any ideas?
Thanks for help!
- Edit: (Sorry, I'll be more specific to my problem)
Here is the problem I am having: (in steps)
1) A hosts a server.
2) B is able to join A with NAT punchthrough.
3) A shuts down the server.
4) A joins server C.
5) B joins server C.
6) B cannot Ping(A.ipAddress) in server C, because A does not have a public IP and A is behind a NAT.
How can I make B ping A directly when they are both on server C?
Or is it correct for B to do Ping(A.externalIP) in such a situation, which will give the proper ping value from B to A?
