Network transform has no authority?

ErezShahaf · May 2, 2022, 11:16am

I would like to give my client the authority to change the transform, I have seen that many people have an option named “Authority”, but I do not have it. I also do not have a component named “ClientNetworkTransform”, is there still a way to allow it? or is the only way to do it is by network variables?

I am aware that it is not a good practice due to cheating, but as it is a VR game it is a tradeoff that I am willing to accept.

Hi,

ClientNetworkTransform changed in version pre.6

There is a discussion about that here: Animations do not Sync when using Client Network Transform from Samples · Issue #1348 · Unity-Technologies/com.unity.netcode.gameobjects · GitHub

ClientNetworkTransform.cs is now inside the Boos Room Demo:

github.com

Unity-Technologies/com.unity.multiplayer.samples.coop/blob/main/Packages/com.unity.multiplayer.samples.coop/Utilities/Net/ClientAuthority/ClientNetworkTransform.cs

using Unity.Netcode.Components;
using UnityEngine;

namespace Unity.Multiplayer.Samples.Utilities.ClientAuthority
{
    /// <summary>
    /// Used for syncing a transform with client side changes. This includes host. Pure server as owner isn't supported by this. Please use NetworkTransform
    /// for transforms that'll always be owned by the server.
    /// </summary>
    [DisallowMultipleComponent]
    public class ClientNetworkTransform : NetworkTransform
    {
        /// <summary>
        /// Used to determine who can write to this transform. Owner client only.
        /// This imposes state to the server. This is putting trust on your clients. Make sure no security-sensitive features use this transform.
        /// </summary>
        protected override bool OnIsServerAuthoritative()
        {
            return false;
        }
