    I use Network.Instantiate. That works. But then I want to disable or enable components of this created prefab, based on wheter its locally instantiated or remotely.

    Code (csharp):
    1. function OnNetworkInstantiate (info : NetworkMessageInfo) {
    2.     Debug.Log("New object instantiated by " + info.sender);
    3.  
    4.    if (!info.NetworkViewID.isMine) {
    5.         // euh..I mean "if the instantiated object isn't local
    6.      //clone.GetComponent(CharacterController).enabled=false;
    7.         //clone.GetComponent(char_move).enabled=false;
    8.         }
    9.          
    10. }
    11.  
    How can I access "clone" in the function above? Where is this prefab that has been instantiated on the Network.

    Basicly I am not sure how to get to the actual prefab on the individual client
    and say "disable walking, coz you're a remote object"

    This OnNetworkInstantiate event is executed on the client, right?

    Thanks!

    OnNetworkInstantiate() runs on all machines, server and clients.

    To check for ownership you could do:

    Code (csharp):
    1.  
    2. function OnNetworkInstantiate (msg : NetworkMessageInfo) {
    3.     if (networkView.isMine)
    4.     {
    5.         // Enable stuff for local player
    6.     }
    7.     else
    8.     {
    9.         // Disable stuff for remote player
    10.     }
    11. }
    12.  
    If this script is attached to the instantiated object (the prefab) it will do what you need.

    Hi Larus...Thank you! Oh so simple solution! Thanks for the last line, coz it wasn't clear to me where to put the script.
