    I haven't been able to find anything about this that works for me, I was using
    Code (CSharp):
    1. NetworkManager.Singleton.ConnectedClients.TryGetValue(NetworkManager.Singleton.LocalClientId, out var player
    but it only works for the host.

    From this documentation page:
    Code (CSharp):
    1. NetworkManager.Singleton.ConnectedClients[NetworkManager.Singleton.LocalClientId].PlayerObject;

    Just curious, why not:

    networkManager.LocalClient.PlayerObject

    Okay. Was just wondering if perhaps there was a reason not to use the shorcuts on the networkmanager.

    Sorry to necropost but this was the top thread on Google

    connectedclients doesn't work anymore on the client side, only on the host

    I got it working with

    networkManager.LocalClient.PlayerObject

    like Kyperr mentioned
