How to apply color settings from lobby player to gameplay object correctly?

Questions & Answers

I have a Network Lobby Manager with one overridden function. This code applies the color to the gameobject of each players, having their unique color as result.

public class LobbyManager : NetworkLobbyManager {
    
public override bool OnLobbyServerSceneLoadedForPlayer(GameObject lobbyPlayer, GameObject gamePlayer)
    {
        LobbyPlayerSettings lobbySettings = lobbyPlayer.GetComponent<LobbyPlayerSettings>();
        SpriteRenderer renderer = gamePlayer.GetComponent<SpriteRenderer>();
    
        renderer.color = lobbySettings.playerColor;
    
        return true;
    }
}

My problem is that the clients don’t see this color changes. In the host game each player has the correct color (host and clients) thus the OnLobbyServerSceneLoadedForPlayer function is indeed called for every player. But the clients see the default object colors, even on their own objects. Somehow these settings are not passed to the clients.

I don’t do any synchronization with the SpriteRenderer component but after reading some documentation and forum post I don’t think I have to. I’m not even sure how could I synchronize the renderers color setting.

But then what else can be wrong? Is there something else that must be done?

Hi @britsplease , I know this is an old post. But I have found myself in about the same problem and I can’t seem to find an answer for this problem. The playerColor variable seems not to exist in my scene

public class TankColor_Hook : NetworkLobbyHook
{

public override void OnLobbyServerSceneLoadedForPlayer(NetworkManager manager, GameObject lobbyPlayer, GameObject gamePlayer)
{
	NetworkLobbyPlayer lobby = lobbyPlayer.GetComponent<NetworkLobbyPlayer> ();
	TankColor tank = gamePlayer.GetComponent<TankColor> ();

	tank.color = lobby.playerColor;
}

}

Did you find any solutions to the problem??
