isLocalPlayer always false in Awake() ?

Unity Engine
1

I have a PlayerManager component attached to the player prefab

void Awake ()
{
Debug.Log ("Awake Is Local Player: " + isLocalPlayer);
// getComponents for variables
}

void Start ()
{
Debug.Log ("Start Is Local Player: " + isLocalPlayer);
// Initial setup
}

the awake returns false, and true for the start function? Just found it odd as I was placing (!isLocalPlayer) return; and not expecting it to!

Yes. It’s always false on awake, as Awake is called as soon as the class is initialized, so it has no time for network-related stuff yet.
You can use OnStartLocalPlayer. I did not check if it’s called on non-owner clients though.
