FPS camera in multiplayer?

So.. I'm trying to figure out how I can make the weapon of the local player not clipping through walls in a multiplayer game. I can't put it on a layer since that would make the camera see all remote players weapons through walls and objects.

How do you tackle this? I've been trying all sort of stuff but it just won't work. Putting a collider on the weapon is out of the question even though it's a very simple and effective solution

 

"I can't put it on a layer since that would make the camera see all remote players weapons through walls and objects." I don't understand what you mean by this. Why would putting the local player's weapon on a layer change how the camera sees the remote players?

 

Because they are all using the same prefab.. and putting the weapon on a layer with for example "if(isLocalPlayer)" would execute on all players since each player is local on their computer.. networking is complicated..

 

You can try it yourself.. just make a simple scene with a big cube in the middle, put the local players weapon on a layer which uses a Depth Only camera.. connect with another instance of the build. They would both see the remote players weapon through walls, like a wall hack

 

If it's because they all use the same prefab, then just create a different prefab for the player.

 

Hehe... isn't that a little bit of a overkill. That means I have to have a different prefab for every player that connects, which I don't know how many there will be... ;-)

Anyways, I solved it..

 

Kovenat, i´m interesting how you solve this problem. I have some similar situation. Please share you experience!
