    I've been trying to figure out how to spawn an object to the network with its scriptable object data. Only the host sees the scriptable object data but none of the clients do. IS it not possible to spawn an object with a scriptable object attached to it?

    Out of the box this is not possible. Here is how I would approach this. Give each of your scriptable object an index by storing it in an array on a manager. Use a NetworkVariable<int> to synchronize the index of the data and on the other side you can use the OnValueChanged callback of the network variable and read the int and find the corresponding data for it.

    Thanks for this suggestion! Is there an example you could direct us to? I'm not sure how to store Scriptable Objects into an array, in particular, since my SOs are created as .asset files and not C# objects.
