from NetworkMessageInfo.Sender to GameObject

Hi!

When I receive a RPC call, and I know the NetworkMessageInfo.Sender, how do I get to a certain game object?

For instance, lets say player A presses the spacebar. Then I do a RPC to send everyone in the game the notice: "player A pressed space", and then I want to do a "parent a sphere to the player that pressed the spacebar" on all clients.

I *think* I can't simply pass a GameObject to the RPC function, because the reference to a game object only is valid on one specific client, right?

 

You need to do that parenting on whoever owns both the sphere and the object you are parenting it to.

So the best bet would prob be an additional RPC call to tell whoever to parent the object.

If I understood you correctly ;-)

Hmmmm not quite what I ment

Parenting will work but... uhm...
I mean:
How do I get a reference to the object I need the sphere to parent to?
the "other" player?

 

Problem solved.

The trick is to give a unique gameObject name when instantiating, based on the sender ID. When you Network.instantiate, name your objects dynamicly. E.g: player_[player ID].

And then you can simply refer to them later the same way.
