Unity 5.1 Networking - Spawn an object as a child for the host and all clients

I have a player object who can equip multiple weapons. When a weapon is equipped, its transform's parent is set to its hand. I have messed around with this for some time and cannot get this to work for both the host and the client. Right now I am trying to equip the weapon on the server, and tell all the clients to set their parents transforms.

In the update I am updating the weapons transform

public NetworkInstanceId weaponNetId;

[Command]
void Cmd_EquipWeapon()
{

var weaponObject = Instantiate (Resources.Load ("Gun"),
hand.position,
Quaternion.Euler (0f, 0f, 0f)) as GameObject;
weaponObject.transform.parent = hand;
NetworkServer.Spawn (weaponObject);

//set equipped weapon
var weapon = weaponObject.GetComponent<Weapon> () as Weapon;

weaponNetId = weaponObject.GetComponent<NetworkIdentity> ().netId;
Rpc_SetParentGameobject (weaponNetId);​

}

[ClientRpc]
public void Rpc_SetParentGameobject(NetworkInstanceId netID)
{

weaponNetId = netId;​

}

void Update () {

// set child weapon tranform on clients
if (!isServer) {
if (weaponNetId.Value != 0 && !armed) {
GameObject child = NetworkServer.FindLocalObject (weaponNetId);


if (child != null) {
child.transform.parent = hand;
}​

}
}

I know this isn't the most optimized way to do this..but right now I am just trying to get this to work any way possible and then work on tweaking it. Seems like it should be a simple task.

 

I'm having a similar issue, sets fine on server but the clients are not updating the parent object, and forgive me if I'm wrong but shouldn't you be using the code below?

if (child != null) {
child.transform.SetParent(hand);
}
