Multiplayer animation only visible for my character

Questions & Answers
1

I’ve got a working multiplayer game, tried it when i turn it on from my pc and from a friend’s pc. everything was working fine, except that the animations were only playing for my character. i have them in a script that makes them play when i press/release a button, but it has a NetworkView.isMine on it so that i don’t trigger the other player’s animations myself

any way to fix this?

#pragma strict
//var character : GameObject;
private var moveDirection : Vector3 = Vector3.zero;
var speed : float = 6.0;
var cam : GameObject;
 
function Start()
{
    if (!networkView.isMine)  // if this is not my player, remove the camera
        Destroy(cam);
}

function Update () {if(networkView.isMine){
if(Input.GetKeyUp(KeyCode.W)||Input.GetKeyUp(KeyCode.A)||Input.GetKeyUp(KeyCode.S)||Input.GetKeyUp(KeyCode.D))
		animation.CrossFade("idle");
		
if (Input.GetButtonDown("Fire1")) 
	{
		//Attack animation - IF YOU ARE GETTING ERRORS BECAUSE YOU HAVENT MADE AN ANIMATION AND ATTACHED IT, DELETE THE FOLOWING LINE.
		animation.CrossFade("punch");

	}
	if (Input.GetButtonDown("Fire2")) 
	{
		//Attack animation - IF YOU ARE GETTING ERRORS BECAUSE YOU HAVENT MADE AN ANIMATION AND ATTACHED IT, DELETE THE FOLOWING LINE.
		animation.CrossFade("attack3");

	}
	if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.W)||Input.GetKey(KeyCode.A)||Input.GetKey(KeyCode.D)||Input.GetKey(KeyCode.S)) 
	{
		//Attack animation - IF YOU ARE GETTING ERRORS BECAUSE YOU HAVENT MADE AN ANIMATION AND ATTACHED IT, DELETE THE FOLOWING LINE.
		animation.CrossFade("walk");
	}
	if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Space))
	animation.CrossFade("jump");
		
	}
	}

The animation does not get sent over the network automatically so you will need to send a RPC call, telling the other clients that an animation is in need of being played. I have modified the script for you here but I don’t know much JavaScript so there may be some syntax errors.

#pragma strict
//var character : GameObject;
private var moveDirection : Vector3 = Vector3.zero;
var speed : float = 6.0;
var cam : GameObject;
 
function Start()
{
    if (!networkView.isMine)  // if this is not my player, remove the camera
        Destroy(cam);
}
 
function Update () 
	{
		if(networkView.isMine)
		{
			if(Input.GetKeyUp(KeyCode.W)||Input.GetKeyUp(KeyCode.A)||Input.GetKeyUp(KeyCode.S)||Input.GetKeyUp(KeyCode.D))
				networkView.RPC("IdleAnimation", RPCMode.All);        
 
			if (Input.GetButtonDown("Fire1")) 
			{
				//Attack animation - IF YOU ARE GETTING ERRORS BECAUSE YOU HAVENT MADE AN ANIMATION AND ATTACHED IT, DELETE THE FOLOWING LINE.
				networkView.RPC("PuchAnimation", RPCMode.All);    
 
			}
			if (Input.GetButtonDown("Fire2")) 
			{
			//Attack animation - IF YOU ARE GETTING ERRORS BECAUSE YOU HAVENT MADE AN ANIMATION AND ATTACHED IT, DELETE THE FOLOWING LINE.
				networkView.RPC("Attack3Animation", RPCMode.All);    
	
			}
			if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.W)||Input.GetKey(KeyCode.A)||Input.GetKey(KeyCode.D)||Input.GetKey(KeyCode.S)) 
			{
				//Attack animation - IF YOU ARE GETTING ERRORS BECAUSE YOU HAVENT MADE AN ANIMATION AND ATTACHED IT, DELETE THE FOLOWING LINE.
				networkView.RPC("WalkAnimation", RPCMode.All);    
			}
			if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Space))
				networkView.RPC("JumpAnimation", RPCMode.All);    
 
		}
	}
	
	@RPC //IDLEANIMATION RPC
	function IdleAnimation ()
	{
		animation.CrossFade("idle"); 
	}
	
	@RPC //PUNCHANIMATIONRPC
	function PunchAnimation ()
	{
		animation.CrossFade("punch"); 
	}
	
	@RPC //ATTACK3ANIMTION RPC
	function Attack3Animation ()
	{
		animation.CrossFade("attack3"); 
	}
	
	@RPC //WALK ANIMATION RPC
	function WalkAnimation ()
	{
		animation.CrossFade("walk"); 
	}
	
	@RPC //JUMP ANIMATION RPC 
	function JumpAnimation ()
	{
		animation.CrossFade("jump"); 
	}

My modifications should send the animation triggers over the network.
