Access Objects on Other Networks

I've been trying to add the option to let the players of my two-player online game change skins, but the change is only visible to the player who did the change. So my solution to this is to make the other player call a function to change a player's skin when they do. But I can't seem to make that work, since I can't figure out how to access other players in a player's script. It's as if they don't exist in the scene. I can't find the other player by searching for its tag, its name, or anything.

I should add that I'm a huge beginner at multiplayer stuff, so I apologize if this is a stupid question.

 

I am not familiar with unet but what you can do is inside of a class on the object that spawns you can have the player "register" itself to a static list, or a manager, or something like that. Another way is that if there is a player joined event of some-kind you can grab the reference to the object from there.

 

I have no idea why I never thought of using static variables... Over a week I've been messing around with all kinds of potential solutions, yet that one never occurred to me... Anyway, it works now! Thanks!
