Question How to set the parent of arrow to specific transform for all clients

Hi All,

When an arrow hits a target, I want it to stick to the target. This could be a tree, the ground, or a particular bone or a player (e.g. Head, Leg, or Arm), and have all clients see it stick to the same parent.

I have a couple of issues with this:

1. I can't set the parent to a tree of the ground because they are not NetworkObjects

2. How do I tell the client exactly what collider was hit on a player?

Thanks

Edit: I'm hoping there's a generic solution like GetTransformWithId() that I can use for any Transform, and the Id is the same across all clients. I know I could just pass through a bone name and then tell the clients to attach the arrow to that bone.

 

@RikuTheFuffs-U Thanks for that reference, it's given me a few ideas but I had to go with another solution to solve my problems.

I use a clientRPC to tell the clients to instantiate an instance of a "dummy" arrow at the specified position and name the bone/transform that I want to attach to. The client then looks for a transform with that name within the hit object.

Unfortunately, parenting network objects to bones on a player is not possible in my tests.

This piece of code was really helpful from the sample which allows me to identify the network object that got hit:

Code (CSharp):

1. public void PickupObjectServerRpc(ulong objToPickupID)
2.     {      
3.         NetworkManager.SpawnManager.SpawnedObjects.TryGetValue(objToPickupID, out var objToPickup);

Thanks for your help!
