Question how to give every player their own variable that everyone else sees?

can someone give me an example of code that lets every clients player have their own variable (like their name) and have it so that everyone else sees them the same as the client sees them. i know it is probably very simple but i have no idea how to do it.

 

Code (CSharp):

1. private string playerName="";
2.  
3. private void SetMyName(string name) {//call this as the local player
4.     if (!IsLocalPlayer) return; //don't want others to change our name
5.     playerName=name;
6.     SetMyNameServerRpc(playerName);
7. }
8.  
9. [ServerRpc]
10. private void SetMyNameServerRpc(string name) { //called on the server's version of *this* player object
11.     if (!IsLocalPlayer) playerName=name;
12.     SetPlayerNameClientRpc(playerName);
13. }
14.  
15. [ClientRpc]
16. private void SetPlayerNameClientRpc(string name) { //called on the other clients' version of *this* player object
17.     if (!IsLocalPlayer && !IsServer) playerName=name;
18. }

Note that the ifs in the ServerRpc and ClientRpc are to avoid doing the same thing twice (since the server may also be a player and the calling player is also a client).

 

i attached it to the playerobjects and made the playername var public and when i look in the editor both playerobjects have the same playername (every client sees the other players playername as the playername that their player has)

 

[SerializeField]
public NetworkVariable<ForceNetworkSerializeByMemcpy<FixedString64Bytes>> playerName = new NetworkVariable<ForceNetworkSerializeByMemcpy<FixedString64Bytes>>();


Call server rpc to set it. Make sure that on each client, on each "player" object Update, you set the var's name to the correct one. That way every client see's every others updated network var.

 

it says that the type of namespace could not be found. what is the name of the 'using something' (idk what its called). Also could there be a problem with all the playerobjects having the same name, if yes then how do i change them?

 

nevermind it works, the problem was that i didn't put the if

(!IsLocalPlayer) return;

in the update where i set the playername to

playerName = PlayerPrefs.GetString("SavedUsername");
