Accessing other player's script - networking

Questions & Answers
1

We have X players logged into a game. now we want everyone to have an object network.instantiated but - obviously - we want to have them created in different spots. Let's say we pre-create a few spots on the map where we want players to be instantiated.

So I was thinking

a)- server could generate random number and send it to a player, so that he is instantiated on a spot 1,spot2,(...).

b) players are created in the spot 1, spot 2, spot 3 or spot 4 (...) depending on the order they got connected. [does one have to use "Network.connections" to do this somehow?

I don't know how to change an integer in another players script,

A rough sketch:

function Awake () {
if(Network.isServer) 
var connectionss = Network.connections;
    for(var i =0; i< connectionss.Length; i++){
        connectionss*.GetComponent(GeneratingObjects).GetSpot(i);*
 *}* 
*}*
*var object_prefab:Transform;*
*var spots:Vector3[];*
*function GetSpot(spot_index:int){*
 *Network.Instantiate(object_prefab, spots[spot_index], Quaternion.identity,0);*
*}*
*```*
*<p>Any idea how to actually do that?</p>*

This might be a little cheesy, but you could probably use Network.Player, which is the index number of the current player, and they always go in order, with the server always being zero.

var playerPrefab : GameObject;
var spawnPoints : Transform[];

function OnConnectedToServer() {
    var mySpawnPoint : Transform = spawnPoints[Network.Player];
    Network.Instantiate( mySpawnPoint.position, mySpawnPoint.rotation, playerPrefab );
}

I'm not sure that would work off the bat though because Network.Player is not just an int, its a complex structure, but when you do Network.Player.ToString() it returns the index of that player (0 for the host, 1 for the first connected player, 2 for the second, etc), so you might have to convert it to an int first.
