public void spawnPlayer()

GameObject playerObj = null;
NetworkView nView = null;

		// note: Network.Instantiate is a buffered call
		 if (Network.peerType == NetworkPeerType.Server)
		{
			playerObj = (GameObject)Network.Instantiate(playerPrefab, SpawnPoint1.transform.position, Quaternion.identity, 0);		
			nView = (NetworkView)playerObj.GetComponent("NetworkView");
			Debug.Log("Spawned Player 1");
		}
		else
		{
			playerObj = (GameObject)Network.Instantiate(playerPrefab2, SpawnPoint2.transform.position, Quaternion.identity, 1);	
			Instantiate = new Vector3(-1,0,0);
			nView = (NetworkView)playerObj.GetComponent("NetworkView");
			Debug.Log("Spawned Player 2");			
		}
		
		if (Network.peerType == NetworkPeerType.Server)
		{
			Debug.Log("Server spawning player" + Network.player);
		}
		else

So, good new, everything is working now !

There were several problems:

  • you were checking transform.rotation values, but since you rotated the whole prefab, the z value of the turret was stupid (like 10^-8 everytime), so now I changed it to transform.localRotation, that checks only the turret rotation.

  • your player 2 prefab had a problem, there was a different game object attached to it (I can’t understand what it was), so I deleted the player 2 and recreated from player1 correctly. By the way, since, player1 and player2 have the same prefab, except for the color, I would suggest you to keep only one prefab with the red material for example, and change the materials for the second one. That way your game will be lighter.

  • You use several obsolete functions (the warnings are poping up a lot in the log window), I would suggest you to use the new functions to avoid future problems.
