Tracking where the players are looking in MLAPI?

    I've been working on a very simple fps using MLAPI and I have gotten pretty much everything working. I have my players set up so that the camera is a child of the player and the gun is a child of the camera. Then I use a script to move around the camera with the gun following it. Naturally unity is keeping track of which direction on the x axis the player is turned towards, because I have a NetworkTransform attached to the player. However, unity is not keeping track of where the player is looking on the y axis (up or down). You just see all the other players as looking straight ahead.

    This is my code for the camera:
    Code (CSharp):
    1. void Update()
    2.     {
    3.         if (playerBody.GetComponent<HelloWorldPlayer>().isPlayer)
    4.         {
    5.             float mouseX = Input.GetAxis("Mouse X") * mouseSensitivity * Time.deltaTime;
    6.             float mouseY = Input.GetAxis("Mouse Y") * mouseSensitivity * Time.deltaTime;
    7.  
    8.             xRotation -= mouseY;
    9.             xRotation = Mathf.Clamp(xRotation, -90f, 90f);
    10.  
    11.             transform.localRotation = Quaternion.Euler(xRotation, 0f, 0f);
    12.            
    13.             playerBody.transform.Rotate(Vector3.up * mouseX);
    14.         }
    15. }
    And this is a small amount of code for disabling components:
    Code (CSharp):
    1. void Start()
    2.     {
    3.         isPlayer = true;
    4.         if (!IsLocalPlayer)
    5.         {
    6.             isPlayer = false;
    7.             GetComponent<Move>().enabled = false;
    8.             camer.GetComponent<Camera>().enabled = false;
    9.             camer.GetComponent<AudioListener>().enabled = false;
    10.         }
    11. }
    I've tried a bunch of different things but none have seemed to work, especially since I don't fully understand ServerRpcs and other mlapi things.

    Is there a simple solution that I'm missing?
