Third Party Setting up multiple cameras in Mirror

Hey guys,

I am trying to make a multiplayer game with Mirror, but I am still new to networking. I am currently trying to set up a scene with 3 cameras (see attached image). Every player should see every camera. To display the cameras of Player1 and Player2 separately, I am adjusting the Viewport Rect. The player-cameras are child objects of the player prefabs.
My problem is now, that if a player joins a multiplayer server, the Viewport Rect of his camera has the values of the prefab and I don't know how to set the correct Viewport Rect and make it visible for all players.
I tried setting it up in the NetworkManager like this:

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2. public class MyNetworkManager : NetworkManager
3. .
4. .
5. .    
6.     public override void OnServerAddPlayer(NetworkConnectionToClient conn)
7.     {
8.         base.OnServerAddPlayer(conn);
9.         SetClientCamera(_clients, conn);
10.     }
11.  
12.     private void SetClientCamera(int client, NetworkConnectionToClient conn)
13.     {
14.         Camera cam = conn.identity.GetComponentInChildren<Camera>();
15.         if (client == 0)
16.         {
17.             cam.rect = new Rect(0.068f, 0.025f, 0.24f, 0.33f);
18.         }
19.         else
20.         {
21.             cam.rect = new Rect(0.655f, 0.025f, 0.24f, 0.33f);
22.         }
23.         _clients++;
24.     }
25.  

This works only partly because for the server the cameras are displayed correctly, but not for the players. I think for the players I need to set it up with a NetworkBehaviour Script but I don't know how exactly.
I tried similar code as above in the player script which inherits from NetworkBehaviour with the [Client], [Command] and [ClientRpc] flags but nothing worked.

Is there a good practice how to deal with multiple cameras in Mirror?
Help would be very much appreciated.

 

I solved the problem by creating a script inheriting from NetworkBehaviour and attaching it to the player object. It is nearly the same code as I have posted above:

Code (CSharp):

1. using System.Collections;
2. using System.Collections.Generic;
3. using UnityEngine;
4. using Mirror;
5.  
6. public class NetworkCamera : NetworkBehaviour
7. {
8.     Camera baseplateCam;
9.  
10.     public override void OnStartClient()
11.     {
12.         base.OnStartClient();
13.         baseplateCam = GetComponentInChildren<Camera>();
14.         if (isLocalPlayer)
15.         {
16.             baseplateCam.rect = new Rect(0.068f, 0.025f, 0.24f, 0.33f);
17.         }
18.         else
19.         {
20.             baseplateCam.rect = new Rect(0.655f, 0.025f, 0.24f, 0.33f);
21.         }
22.     }
23. }
24.  

Now the only problem is, that the local player will always see his baseplate on the left and the other player's on the right, but I think I can live with that.
