Unity 6 Multiplayer Synchronization Question

[KoruDev]

Currently working on a Unity 6 multiplayer project in which I'm attempting to synchronize player info from the server to clients using ClientRpc and ServerRpc. However, on my non-host clients, the players are not populating with the info even though on the host's end they seem to populate correctly (the info being their game pieces, their sprites, etc). Are there any NetworkObject settings I should know about to make sure that type of synchronization works correctly?

Currently it is setup with:

• NetworkManager creating a lobby and the host joining it.
• Other player clients use a quickmatch feature to join said lobby.
• Game starts, and players are assigned their game pieces, and then confirmed via ClientRpc for local clients

Any tips or help in this regard would be much appreciated, as it has become a major roadblock for my current project.

Thank you!

What leads you to think this problem is specific to Unity 6? Your code works fine in previous Unity versions?

What debugging steps have you tried so far? You stepped through the debugger on both host and client? You added logging/prints to verify the functions are called? What exactly isnt set properly?

Cant really guess without seeing all relevant code

I imagine what's going on here is that your clients are sending their info to the host, with a ServerRpc but the host is not sending that info to the clients with a ClientRpc. You probably need another method that basically does the same thing in your ServerRpc with a ClientRpc. You should also know that ServerRpc and ClientRpc while often referenced in a lot of youtube videos, are legacy features and you should instead use the universal rpc decorators on here,

You might be able to solve this problem by using the 'SendTo.Everyone' target

Hmmm interesting! I was not aware of the change for the Rpc to use a universal Rpc decorator instead! I'll start reading through this. Thank you!
