How to distinguish each characters in networkplay?

Questions & Answers
1

I'm using one prefab as a user character in multiplay game.

If 5 users connected, each character's names are as below.

Prefabname(Clone) Prefabname(Clone)Remote Prefabname(Clone)Remote Prefabname(Clone)Remote Prefabname(Clone)Remote

I want to give different name to each character.

Anyone has idea?

You could do you own instantiating(see here http://unity3d.com/support/documentation/ScriptReference/Network.AllocateViewID.html), and send the name of the player as a parameter in the RPC call. And then set the name of the gameobject when you add it.

Does that solve your problem?

Slightly modified sample code from scripting reference:

var cubePrefab : Transform;

function OnGUI ()
{
    if (GUILayout.Button("SpawnBox")) 
    {
        var name = "John";
        var viewID = Network.AllocateViewID();
        networkView.RPC("SpawnBox", RPCMode.AllBuffered,viewID, transform.position, name);
    }
}

@RPC
function SpawnBox (viewID : NetworkViewID, location : Vector3, name : String)
{
    // Instantate the prefab locally
    var clone : Transform;
    clone = Instantiate(cubePrefab, location, Quaternion.identity) as Transform;
    clone.name = name;
    var nView : NetworkView;
    nView = clone.GetComponent(NetworkView);
    nView.viewID = viewID;
}
