    Hi, I've been testing multiplayer but I'm stuck on syncing the animation.

    I want to sync an attack animation that triggers on pressing the A key.
    So all I want to do is call an animation on all clients connected as well as the server.

    The issue I have is that the command calls it only on server side and not on any clients.
    Do I have to do an RPC call inside the Command or something?

    Code (CSharp):
    1. void UpdateInput()
    2. {
    3.      if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.A))
    4.      {
    5.             CmdDoAttack();
    6.      }
    7. }
    8.  
    9. [Command]
    10. void CmdDoAttack()
    11. {
    12.     _anim.SetTrigger("Kick");
    13. }

    yes you could do it like:

    Code (CSharp):
    1. void UpdateInput()
    2. {
    3.      if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.A))
    4.      {
    5.             CmdDoAttack();
    6.      }
    7. }
    8. [Command]
    9. void CmdDoAttack()
    10. {
    11.     // check if player can attack
    12.     if (isDead)
    13.         return;
    14.        
    15.     RpcAttack();
    16. }
    17.  
    18. [ClientRpc]
    19. void RpcAttack()
    20. {
    21.     _anim.SetTrigger("Kick");
    22. }

    Thanks seanr, that worked but it wasn't calling it on the server side - had to make a small change.

    I feel like they should have a way to send to the server + all clients instead of doing this but I guess this is not too bad.

    Code (CSharp):
    1. [Command]
    2. void CmdDoAttack()
    3. {
    4.     if (isDead) return;
    5.     _anim.SetTrigger("Kick");
    6.     RpcDoAttack();
    7. }

    IsSyncEvent supposed to not fire on a local host for networked scene objects?

    From what I can tell, even on 5.1.0p1 ClientRpc and SyncEvent aren't calling on a local host for networked scene objects.
