Multiplayer Identity Object Root Problem

Multiplayer & Networking
1

Hi!
I had a problem with a multiplayer game I’m making, the console has a warning that says, "
The prefab ‘Player’ has multiple NetworkIdentity components. There can only be one NetworkIdentity on a prefab, and it must be on the root object.
UnityEngine.Networking.NetworkManagerHUD:OnGUI()"
Im not sure what a root object is and I don’t know what to do because it is preventing me from making the multiplayer work.
Thanks!

Each GameObject (including children) can have only one NetworkIdentity component. So probably children of your GameObject have NetworkiIdentity too.

That’s why I can’t use most of Unity network components, because they all require NetworkIdentity component. For example NetworkAnimator requires NetworkIdentity AND Animator, so I can’t have Animator as child if I want to use NetworkAnimator.

As far as I know best way to use networking is to have custom class for every network object. For example if you have your main player class GamePlayer: create NetworkGamePlayer component which controls all network code for that object.
