NetworkBehaviour Get Id of Current Client on Network Spawn

LordRaul · June 19, 2023, 1:45am

I am making a NetworkBehaviour script to display player usernames in a gameplay scene, and the code for displaying the usernames is run in OnNetworkSpawn().

I want to display the current player’s username differently, so I would need to be able to access the client id of the current player.

How exactly could I do that?

I think with this:
NetworkManager.Singleton.LocalClientId

I would link the scripting API but unfortunately it seems currently unreachable.

Hi,
I’d recommend using OwnerClientd, which is the ID set by the server for each PlayerPrefab created per unique connection. Have a look at an example here:

github.com

Unity-Technologies/com.unity.multiplayer.samples.coop/blob/main/Assets/Scripts/Gameplay/GameplayObjects/PersistentPlayer.cs

using System;
using Unity.BossRoom.ConnectionManagement;
using Unity.BossRoom.Gameplay.GameplayObjects.Character;
using Unity.BossRoom.Utils;
using Unity.Multiplayer.Samples.BossRoom;
using Unity.Netcode;
using UnityEngine;

namespace Unity.BossRoom.Gameplay.GameplayObjects
{
    /// <summary>
    /// NetworkBehaviour that represents a player connection and is the "Default Player Prefab" inside Netcode for
    /// GameObjects' (Netcode) NetworkManager. This NetworkBehaviour will contain several other NetworkBehaviours that
    /// should persist throughout the duration of this connection, meaning it will persist between scenes.
    /// </summary>
    /// <remarks>
    /// It is not necessary to explicitly mark this as a DontDestroyOnLoad object as Netcode will handle migrating this
    /// Player object between scene loads.
    /// </remarks>
    [RequireComponent(typeof(NetworkObject))]
