    So question is very simple, how to sync animation rigging over the network? I know that I must set animator triggers with rpc calls, but I can't handle animation rigging that way or I don't know something. Any suggestions?

    Hi @XeLLLeR , what do you mean by sync animation rigging ? Are you already using the ClientNetworkAnimator script?

    Code (CSharp):
    1. using Unity.Netcode.Components;
    2. public class ClientNetworkAnimator : NetworkAnimator
    3. {    
    4.      protected override bool OnIsServerAuthoritative()    
    5.      {        
    6.            return false; //allows the client to send animations data over the network    
    7.      }
    8. }

    You probably need to rebuild the Rig for all clients. I will try this solution and post the result here

    i found a solution, from an idea i got from code monkey, apart from attaching networktransform to the ik targets also you need to change the rig layer weights with a networkvariable

    I still have the same issues. What should I do in the following video my character animations does not sync. I do animations on two animators, one of them is a rigcontroller and used animation rigging. Both of the objects have clientAnimatorTransform component. Should I add networkObject for all the bones?

    subscribe to your networkvariable onvaluechanged, when u need to change the weights change its value instead then update the rig weights in the onvaluechanged delegate
