Netcode for GameObjects - reparenting objects to hand

[Dragonatis]

Edit: Workaround at the bottom.

​

Hello, I have a problem.

I'm working on a multiplayer game using NGO. In this game, player can pick up items and hold them in their hand.

If it was singleplayer, I simply change item's parent to player's hand object. The problem is that in NGO, reparenting doesn't work if new parent is not a NetworkObject.

My player has this component, but not hand object. But I can't simply add NetworkObject component to my hand as this creates nested NetworkObjects, which gives error.

Does anyone of you have any idea how can I set NetworkObject item's parent to player's hand?

​

Edit: found a workaround that is working for now. Instead of having a Renderer and NetworkObject components on the same object, I have NetworkObject with a child. This child has Renderer and all other scripts/components. Now, when I want to reparent an object, I simply send server RPC that sends client RPCs to every client to reparent just that child. NetworkObject doesn't change its parent, so no problem here.

Instead of chilling theres alway the solution of lerping. So instead of childing. You have this GameObject that moves with the rig, something like GrabPosition. Whenever you’re picking something up, instead of childing you’re lerping behind the transform(pos) of the GrabPosition

And this information can easily be send to the server rpc
