How can a client spawn a prefab with isLocalPlayer

Unity Engine
1

I want a client to make the server spawn an object. So far so good.

But I want that object to have isLocalPlayer set to true on the client. How can I do that?

2

Am I really missing something so simple or is this a problem no one knows the answer to?

As far as I can tell, only the ONE object linked as the Player object (in the NetworkManager) returns true on isLocalPlayer.

Bump!
Is there any workaround?
In short, how would I go about to have a spawned object do local stuff only on the client that spawned it?

isLocalPlayer is just for the player object. What you want is SpawnWithClientAuthority.
