[PUN+] Instantiating prefab works, but movement doesn't

Hi all…

I’m trying to create a simple multiplayer FPS using the Realistic FPS Prefab asset together with PUN+…
I’m totally new to this networking stuff… I’m trying to instantiate a prefab over the network, which works - my player spawns where intended, but he can’t move at all. The only thing that works is the MouseLook but I can’t walk, crouch, jump, shoot or anything…

Does the PhotonView need to be on every childobject of my Player Prefab?

If I don’t instantiate the player over the network, but drag the prefab onto the scene instead from the project folder - everything works just fine…

The PhotonView can’t guess what your character can do or currently does, so you have to write some code that sends the current state to the other players and some more code to apply incoming updates to the characters of other players.
You only need one PhotonView to do so but you need a script to “observe”, which implements OnPhotonSerializeView (you can make that script class implement the interface IPunObservable).
