[SOLVED] Is The NetworkProximityChecker Component Broken? ( 2017.2.0f3 )

[rob_vld]

Without it:
After the client connects, both the server and the client shows the network object.

With it:
After the client connects, only the server shows the network object.

• Unchecking the NetworkProximityChecker component in the Hierarchy acts like it is still checked; I have to remove the component from the object to make it work again.

• Same applies with multiple connects.

• Tested this also with 2017.1.0f3

I hope someone is able/willing to verify?

facepalm

I think i have found the -only- mention on the internet someone saying that the network object(server side) needs to have at least a collider!

Maybe obvious to you, but not to me… - This information is imo lacking from the unity manual/script overview!

Just putting this out here for my offspring…

Thanks.

Unity Manual:

The NetworkProximityChecker is a component that can be used to control the visibility of objects for network clients, based on proximity to network players. To use it, put the component on the object that should be visible within a certain range. This class relies on physics to calculate visibility.

Unity Scripting:

Component that controls visibility of networked objects for players.
Any object with this component on it will not be visible to players more than a (configurable) distance away.
