How to disable an object for the host but not for the client in Unity Netcode for GameObjects

Hi everyone,

I’m working on a multiplayer project using Unity’s Netcode for GameObjects, and I’m encountering an issue where I need to disable an object for the host but keep it enabled for the clients. The object is spawned on the server, and I want to ensure that the host sees the object as disabled while the clients do not.

Here is the relevant code snippet:

using Unity.Netcode;
using UnityEngine;

public class MyObjectManager : NetworkBehaviour
{
    [SerializeField] private GameObject myObjectPrefab;

    public override void OnNetworkSpawn()
    {
        if (IsServer)
        {
            // Spawn the object on the server
            GameObject myObject = Instantiate(myObjectPrefab);
            NetworkObject netObj = myObject.GetComponent<NetworkObject>();
            if (netObj != null)
            {
                netObj.Spawn();
            }

            // Disable the object for the host
            if (IsHost)
            {
                myObject.SetActive(false);
            }
        }
    }
}

The issue I’m facing is that when the host disables the object, it gets disabled for all clients as well. I want the object to remain active for the clients while being disabled for the host.

Any help or suggestions on how to achieve this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

natrually because it‘s a network synced object

You cannot sync a netbobject one way for some or another way for others. At best you could hide it.
