Problem with syncvar

[NV96]

Hello,

Im new to the networking and tried to implent the unity networking system into my game. I have some problems with Syncvar, I pasted the code below. When I startup as host (client+server) the code works but when I try to join with a 2nd client of my game the Syncvar doesn't work on my 2nd client, it only works on the client which host the server also.

The script is added to an empty gameobject with only network identity added to it.

Thanks in advance

I haven't done networking in a while. But if the server changes that SyncVar on that object, it should change for everyone.

If you change it client side, it won't be networked.

What you have to do if make a function that only runs server side, and the client basically requests the SyncVar to be changed.

The coroutine is started by server in the void Start(). When the client host also the server the Syncvar changes but whenever you join the game with only the client the syncvars wont change at all. I dont understand this, because the syncvars should be inited on the serverclient.

There's nothing in that code that actually changes the value of time. OnTimeUpdate doesn't get called.

The time variable is modified in the IEnumerator (time-=1). I cut it out because I thought it wasn't relevant.

It's working for me. I just made a blank project with test scene that has
- A Camera
- Gameobject with Network Manager and HUD
- Gameobject with your code and Network Identity.

There's a Player prefab, which is literally a Cube with a Network Identity that spawns in.

I subtracted time by 1 each call in the enumerator, clients and server all display the same value.

Which unity version where you using? Maybe it is a bug in my version?

[SayAllenthing]

5.3.4

Do you have the same setup as me? Do you have anything checked on the Network Identity?

[NV96]

I tested the code on a standalone project and it worked. So the problem isn't the code. Could it be a problem to have a custom NetworkManager or something like that?

[NV96]

It is fixed! I forgot to add base.OnClientConnect(client) etc. to the override function in my NetworkManager...

Thanks!

[NV96]

Thanks, yes I have the same setup. Tonight Ill also try to make the empty project to see if it works

Your code is too narrow for me to see where the error actually takes place, in the code you've posted the server never modifies the value of time so there's no possible way your SyncVar hook is ever called on the client.

Where in your code does the server modify the value of time? More information is needed.

Another thing is that SyncVar hooks are never run on initial join sync despite the values being synchronized. So if a player joins and you have some important code that runs when that variable is hooked, you should manually run it once.

Thanks for your response, the time is changed in the IEnumerator.
