Can a client call a ClientRpc on every other client?

    I'd like for a client to call a ClientRpc on every other client (send everyone a message, etc).

    The way I am currently doing this is I am sending a Cmd to the Server with the message, then I have the server call a ClientRpc to relay that message to everyone.

    Is there a direct way to go from client -> clients, instead of client -> server -> clients?

    Thanks

    Clients, by default, don't know about the other clients. Only the server keeps track of the client connections.

    Yes, this is true. On top of that, UNET doesn't allow you to call Rpc's from clients. Rpc's are a way to sync out a message from the server to all clients.

    What you can do, is call a Command that in turn calls an Rpc. This is essentially the same, just with the need to first get it to the server.
