Question ClientRpc executs on the host but not on clients

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2. // this method is triggered by a button only the host has
3.     public void StartGameMethod()
4.     {
5.         if(NetworkManager.Singleton.IsServer)
6.         isGameStartedClientRPC();
7.     }
8.  
9.     [ClientRpc]
10.     public void isGameStartedClientRPC()
11.     {
12.         Debug.Log("isGameStartedClientRPC udated");
13.         N_isGameStarted.Value = true;
14.         StartCoroutine("StartGame");
15.     }
16.  
17.     }

on the host side the "StartCoroutine("StartGame");" will trigger and start the game but the clients game will not.

Edit: executes*

 

I think you first gotta make a ServerRPC method and then call the ClientRPC method from there.

 

hey, I don't know if you have "Error Pause" enabled in your console, but this code should pause your game on the client's side because a Client cannot change the value of a NetworkVariable, what I mean is that you wrote "N_isGameStarted.Value = true;" which I think is a NetworkVariable<bool> (?). Only the Host is allowed to change those NetworkVariable value. So this might be the reason your client doesn't trigger "StartCoroutine("StartGame");" (because after the error the client stops reading the next part of the code), try commenting the line 13 and see if it works that way.

Also, to change a NetworkVariable (I know it's annoying) but you should call a ServerRpc() something like this :

Code (CSharp):

1.     [ServerRpc]
2.     private void ChangeVariableServerRpc()
3.     {
4.         N_isGameStarted.Value = true;
5.     }

and call this when it's the client that need to change that variable, i.e, you can replace your line 13 by this :

Code (CSharp):

1. if (!IsServer)
2. {
3.    ChangeVariableServerRpc();
4. }
5.
