Multiplayer Light Intensity Not Syncing

Questions & Answers
1

Hi there I have a script I am currently having a difficulty with. Basically the script changes the intensity of the directional light in my scene.

The script works fine for the person who hosts the game but doesn’t work for the people who connect to the hosts game.

I have a variable

level

This variable changes and I want to change the light intensity with it.

This is the script I have written:

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
using UnityEngine.Networking;

public class dayNightCycle : NetworkBehaviour { //changes day and night based on the wavelevel SpawnManager_waveLevel.cs script

    Light light;
    float fadeTime = 1f;
    [SyncVar(hook = "OnLightAmountChange")]
    float lightAmout = 0f;
    SpawnManager_waveLevel level;

    public override void OnStartLocalPlayer()
    {
        light = GetComponentInChildren<Light>();
        level = GetComponent<SpawnManager_waveLevel>();
        light.intensity = lightAmout;
    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update () {

        changeLight();
	}

    void changeLight()
    {
        if (isLocalPlayer)
        {
            if (level.waveCounter == 1)
            {
                lightAmout = 0.03f;
                light.intensity = Mathf.Lerp(light.intensity, lightAmout, fadeTime * Time.deltaTime);
            }
            else
            {
                lightAmout = 1f;
                light.intensity = Mathf.Lerp(light.intensity, lightAmout, fadeTime * Time.deltaTime);
            }
        }
    }

    void OnLightAmountChange(float amount)
    {
        lightAmout = amount;
        changeLight();
    }
}

I was able to create a solution to my question here and it looks like the following:

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
using UnityEngine.Networking;

public class dayNightCycle : NetworkBehaviour { //changes day and night based on the wavelevel SpawnManager_waveLevel.cs script

    [SerializeField]
    public Light light;

    [SerializeField]
    SpawnManager_waveLevel level;

    [SyncVar(hook = "OnLightAmountChange")]
    public float lightAmout = 0f;

    public override void OnStartLocalPlayer()
    {
        OnLightAmountChange(lightAmout);
    }

    void OnLightAmountChange(float amount)
    {
        light.intensity = amount;
    }
}

I am no longer adding the condition to change the light intensity in this class I am now doing it in the actual SpawnManager_waveLevel class.
