SetInteger not Working for Network Animator

So I was trying to synchronize the animator of my player across the network, however when I am trying to set any integer parameters that is not zero, the value of that field simply fluctuates randomly. And the code below is one of such example. When I set a non-zero integer weapon type, it goes all the way from MAX_INT to MIN_INT and then return to MAX_INT and start to go down again. And this piece of code is the only place where I am changing the param of Current Weapon Type, so can anyone tell me what was going wrong?

Code (CSharp):

1. public void SwitchWeapon()
2.     {
3.         animator.SetBool("reload", false);
4.         equipTimer = equipCooldown;
5.         DisableLineRender();
6.         switch (weaponType)
7.         {
8.             case WeaponType.ASSULT_RIFLE:
9.                 animator.SetInteger("current weapon type", 0);
10.                 break;
11.             case WeaponType.HAND_GUN:
12.                 animator.SetInteger("current weapon type", 1);
13.                 break;
14.             case WeaponType.GRENADE:
15.                 animator.SetInteger("current weapon type", 2);
16.                 break;
17.             default:
18.                 Debug.Log("this weapon type is not yet implemented");
19.                 break;
20.         }
21.     }

 

This happens to the host as well so I guess it really doesn't matter who's in control, all animators have this fluctuating integer parameter problem.

 

Hello Luke!
Would you mind to provide a piece of code about how to properly execute this call? Is it a simple "ServerRPC" or is there any extra config/code that is needed to work?

Thank you!

 

Code (CSharp):

1. public void SwitchWeapon()
2.     {
3.       if(IsServer)
4.       {
5.          //your stuff here.
6.        }
7.        Debug.Assert(IsServer, "This is not the server");
8.      
9. }

If you add that to your function what happens? If it asserts look at what calls that function and ensure its only called from the server.

 

Hey @hoesterey! Sorry for my late reply, took a few days off
Thank you for your answer! I've added the IsServer check and it didn't work until I realize that I was setting the wrong Animator Parameter!

Thank you for taking your time to reply to my post anyway!
