UNET - Trying to understand this behaviour

Hi everyone, i need help understanding this behaviour:

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using UnityEngine.Networking;
3.  
4. public class Character : NetworkBehaviour {
5.  
6.      [SyncVar (hook = "refreshHP")] public float currHP;
7.  
8.      public void Start () {
9.           currHP = 100f;
10.      }
11.  
12.      void refreshHP (float current) {
13.           if (isLocalPlayer) {
14.                 Debug.log ("Local");
15.           } else {
16.                 Debug.log ("Other");
17.           }
18.       }
19.  
20. }

Now if i'm the host in the unity inspector i get 1 "local" debug. But if i enter with a client from the build version i get 1 "other" debug.

Can someone explain why this is happening? I was expecting the client to also reach the isLocalPlayer condition. Should i assume client is never reaching isLocalPlayer?

 

I'm not sure to understand what u mean and what u want.

But isLocalPlayer just give you the information if the current object is the one on your local machine. So if you check when you connect 2 players on the server, you will see in the Unity scene 2 instance of the player. One is your, the other one is the one of the other player.

 

Yea i understand i have two copies of the same script running in the scene.

My wonders are why if i host the server the console shows "Local" and if a client joins the server console shows "Other"?

Is the console only showing the server side? cause the script running in the client should reach isLocalPlayer no?

 

Yeah, that's it, what's run in the editor will just show what's is in the if(isLocalPlayer)

Code (CSharp):

1. if(isLocalPlayer)
2. {
3.     //will show
4. }

because your player is the only one local. The client that connect is not localy located on your machine so it show "other".

 

Ah i see, i was getting a bit confused about trying different things. Thanks!
