Netcode: Local variable doesn't change but still does?

Hey guys, my issue is pretty weird… Maybe I just don’t wanna understand Netcode but here is the code:

using Unity.Netcode;
using UnityEngine;

public class Combat : NetworkBehaviour
{
    public float health;

    void Update()
    {
        if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.R))
        {
            SendDamageServerRpc(10f);
        }
        if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.N))
        {
            health = 1f;
        }
    }

    [ServerRpc]
    void SendDamageServerRpc(float receivedDamage)
    {
        ReceiveDamageClientRpc(receivedDamage);
    }

    [ClientRpc]
    void ReceiveDamageClientRpc(float applyDamage)
    {
        health -= applyDamage;
        if (health <= 0)
        {
            Application.Quit();
        }
    }

}

Heres my issue: It generally works. After pressing “R” ten times, all clients and the hosts game quits.

But it appears the variable health on everyones client never physically changes. The reason I say this, is because if i press N on any client, his local health (should) get set to 1 so he would be onehit. So now if anyone presses R once, that onehit clients health drops below zero and his game would quit, right? Well no. He still requires ten R presses like everyone else for his game to quit. I just dont get it! :frowning:
Thanks in advance! :slight_smile:

EDIT: I fixed it. turns out i just didnt understand that client and server rpcs actually get executed by the same gameobject that invoked it but onserver/client side.
