UNET unique client IDs

Okay is it actually possible for a player to know which player it is without serialisation/messages or other complicated stuff. The connectionID for each client is different on each client (which defies the point of unique IDs??)

spawning with Networkserver.spawnWithClientAuthority is broken:

Code (CSharp):

1. public override void OnServerConnect(NetworkConnection conn)
2. {
3.     NetworkServer.SpawnWithClientAuthority(newPlayer.gameObject,conn);
4. }

And suddenly no player has authority of course! hasAuthority is false server and client.

Is it so hard to be able to see a UNIQUE AND SYNCED IDENTITY for each connection/client/whatever. Not relying on some registered player object either as they don't always exist at any moment.

Can't even send an RPC to a specific player? has to be to all of them so how does any one player know which player they are??

If I could please be given a simple answer that would be great iv'e just had enough..

Edit: So I need a isLocalPlayer check that will work on objects that arent the player. Like HasAuthority but it's not working..

if I try to [syncvar] the acttual client that object belongs to instead of the connectionID I get UnetWeaver Errors and a buggy debug console

 

this has to be a bug..
Spawn something on server and on the server hasAuthority is still false
