How to call [Command] on Client in UNet

Questions & Answers
1

I’m working on a Unity 2D multiplayer game using UNet. My problem is that the Client cant send the [Command] to the server. Im debugging on UnityEditor and a built apk for my android phone.

First I used UnityEditor as Host and the phone as Client, the Debug.Log(SkinName) APPEARS on the console.

Then I used UnityEditor as the Client and the phone as Host, the Debug.Log(SkinName) DOES NOT APPEAR.

I tried to use [ClientRpc] instead of [Client] but it just made it worse, both client and host wont sync.

I’ve visited other threads/forums and other UNet tutorials to look for solutions but this is what I came up with.

Note: On the other threads that I visited, people mostly suggest that Local Player Authority is unchecked and that is what causing the problem but in this case it is CHECKED.

Code:

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
using UnityEngine.Networking;
using Spine;
using Spine.Unity;
using Spine.Unity.Modules;

class SetupLocalPLayer : NetworkBehaviour {
[SyncVar]
public string SkinName;

public string[] CharNames;
public string[] SlotNames;
public string[] AttachmentSuffix;

void Start (){
    TransmitSkins ();
    SyncSkin ();
    if (isLocalPlayer) {
        var skeletonrenderer = GetComponent<SkeletonRenderer>();
        for(int z=0;z<SlotNames.Length;z++){
            skeletonrenderer.skeleton.SetAttachment(SlotNames[z],GameController.control.skinName+AttachmentSuffix[z]);
        }
        GetComponent<PlayerManager> ().enabled = true;
        GetComponent<FollowCam> ().enabled = true;
    }
}
void Update () {

}

void SyncSkin(){
    if (!isLocalPlayer) {
        var skeletonrenderer = GetComponent<SkeletonRenderer>();
        for(int z=0;z<SlotNames.Length;z++){
            skeletonrenderer.skeleton.SetAttachment(SlotNames[z],SkinName+AttachmentSuffix[z]);
        }
    }
}

[Command]
void CmdSetSkin(){
    SkinName = GameController.control.skinName;
    Debug.Log (SkinName);
}

[Client]
void TransmitSkins(){
    if (isLocalPlayer) {
        CmdSetSkin ();
    }
}
}

It looks to me like you are sending the Debug.Log as a command to the server, so it wouldn’t run on the client. If you wanted it to run on the client you would have to do something like:

[Command]
void CmdSetSkin(){
SkinName = GameController.control.skinName;
RpcSkinName(SkinName);
}

[ClientRpc]
void RpcSkinName(String skinName){
Debug.Log(skinName);
}
