    On the client side, how do I find the spawned gameobject that belongs to the proper client?

    My understanding was that all Players' gameobjects could be retrieved through ClientScene.localPlayers, which contains a list of PlayerControllers. Each PlayerController has a playerControllerId, which is a short.

    The question is then, I suppose, how do I find my playerControllerId on the client?

    Sorry if I'm wrong but first you set the client to be Ready ClientScene.Ready(conn) , then you pass the controller id on the ClientScene.AddPlayer(id), so you can find the player by its id on the list ClientScene.localPlayers[id].

    I'm not sure you answered my question.
    And what's more, OnClientConnect is the one that calls ClientScene.AddPlayer and the parameter that it passes is always 0.

    So basically I don't understand the logic of it all, and my question of how to find the correct Player gameobject for the local client is still unanswered.

    Another thing that I tried was to run this code on a class of the gameobject that servers as the PlayerPrefab, but it didn't work either:
    Code (csharp):
    1.  
    2.   public override void OnStartClient()
    3.   {
    4.     base.OnStartClient();
    5.  
    6.     if (isLocalPlayer)
    7.     {
    8.       // I assumed "this" would be the gameobject that I'm looking for, but isLocalPlayer does   something else apparently
    9.     }
    10.   }
    11.

    By running the same code in a simple Start(), it worked.
    No idea why OnStartClient() didn't yield the same results.

    Maybe OnStartClient is executed before you can have a localplayer.
