I hope I’m not misinterpreting the purpose of playerControllerID, however I’ve noticed a difference between manually spawn objects and player objects.
When spawning manually I’ve found the playerControllerID value corresponds correctly to the relevant connection id. In comparison, automatically spawned player objects on both LobbyManagers and NetworkManagers will always have the value set to zero.
Is this intentional? If so how can I tell which player object corresponds to which player?
Ok it turns out I was misinterpreting some details about playerControllerID. I’m now aware that this value is used to distinguish different players on a single connection. However i’m still left wondering how can I determine which connection has the authority over a NetworkIdentity.
I have much the same question. Say, the server spawns five objects. I’d like player A to be able to control three of them, B to control two.
My initial thought is, while spawning them to have an ‘owning player id’ field on them. That way you can easily find what player A or B can select or control (either on the client or server). But I’m not sure how or where to get the unique id for a player.
