    How would you recommend I do this:

    I have a character that my player will move about his world. There are two cameras in the scene, one is a a view from the character's viewpoint and is a child of the character. The second camera is a top view of the character and also a child of the character. I'd like the controlable character and the first camera on computer #1 and just the second camera on computer #2.

    Any ideas?

    I would create a "PlayerNetworkInit.js" script.

    Something like:

    Code (csharp):
    1.  
    2. var cameraFPS : Camera;
    3. var cameraTopView : Camera;
    4.  
    5. function OnNetworkInstantiate (msg : NetworkMessageInfo)
    6. {
    7.     // This is our own player
    8.     if ( networkView.isMine)
    9.     {
    10.         cameraFPS.enabled = true;
    11.         cameraTopView.enabled = false;
    12.  
    13.         // Enable input
    14.         GetComponent( FPSWalker ).inputEnabled = true;
    15.     }
    16.     else
    17.     {
    18.         cameraFPS.enabled = false;
    19.         cameraTopView.enabled = true;
    20.  
    21.         // Disable input
    22.         GetComponent( FPSWalker ).inputEnabled = false;
    23.     }
    24. }
    25.  
    26.
