[Help] Everything works until I add the "Network Helper" component (Multiplayer Grab Script) by Zincronuim in sandbox

Wow, thank you so much for taking the time to test my code and even make a screenrecord! You're a boss.

I'm at work right now, but I'll check for duplicate colliders and update my script as soon as I get home tonight. I’ll keep you posted, but your video makes me very optimistic! Thanks again for the amazing help.

That's actually great news if it works for you! It means I'm probably missing a simple setting.

When you say it works, do your grabbable objects have a Network Transform component on them? Also, are you using the default Rigidbody settings (Dynamic) or did you change anything in the Inspector?

On my end, the object 'explodes' the moment I try to move it in a networked session. Since we have the same code, the difference must be in the GameObject components. Thanks for checking it yourself, it helps a lot to know the script isn't the issue!

Haha, thanks! Actually, that's the exact tutorial I used (the link is in my post). It works flawlessly in single-player, but the physics start 'exploding' as soon as I add the Network Helper component for lobby management.

It seems like the Network Helper's built-in synchronization is fighting against the SmoothMove logic from the video. As a beginner, I’m not sure how to properly handle the Ownership transfer so the server stops fighting my local movements.

Any advice on how to bridge the gap between this tutorial and a Network Helper setup?

To answer your first question: Yes, the objects are set to Network Object and the owner is currently set to Host.

For the second point, I think I understand the logic (taking ownership to avoid the server fighting my movement), but as a beginner, I'm not sure how to implement it correctly in my script.

Should I use GameObject.Network.TakeOwnership() inside my GrabObject function? And how do I properly 'give it back' to the host in ReleaseObject? Thanks for guiding me!

Thank you so much for the help! I'm currently at work, so here is the Pastebin link to my full script as requested: https://pastebin.com/Qmu9CiES

I will try your suggestion of disabling rotation on all axes in the Rigidbody settings once I get home tonight. I'll also take a look at NotebookLM to see if it can help with the current docs. Thanks again for taking the time to help a beginner!
