Accessing Server from Client in native networking

Hi I was doing the following:

Code (CSharp):

1. if (Network.isServer)
2. {
3.     playerServer = networkView.owner;
4.     playerClient = Network.connections[0];
5. }
6. else
7. {
8.     // ERROR HERE
9.     playerServer = Network.connections[0];
10.     playerClient = networkView.owner;
11. }

But as it turns out when this code is run on a client, both playerServer and playerClient have the same value. Does Network.connections[0] on a client not return its server?? What I might be doing wrong here??

 

Bump! Anybody knows a way around?? Sorry.

 

It probably just means that this network view really is owned by the server. So on the client, networkView.owner is the server, and Network.connections[0] is also the server.

If you want to get a local NetworkPlayer object on the client, use Network.player:

You should use:

Code (CSharp):

1. void OnConnectedToServer ()
2. {
3. }

The

Code (CSharp):

1. playerServer = Network.connections[0];

works only on servers.

Thank you so much @gfoot. I'll try that.

 

I don't think this is what I'm looking for. I want to get client info from the client itself.

 

but you're the client.. use:

Code (CSharp):

1. Network.player

 

Yes. I solved it. Thanks @gfoot it's working. I can't believe i missed a simple thing like this!
