UNET connectionToClient on client is null.

Questions & Answers

Hey, guys. These days i’m learning about unet. i have a script on player like this:

public class Test : NetworkBehaviour {
	void Update () {
		if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown (0) && isLocalPlayer)
			Debug.Log (connectionToClient);
	}
}

It works well if it’s host, but if it’s client the connectionToClient is always null. I want use it to get the id in the network. Why it’s null ? and how to fix it? Thx.

As written in https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Networking.NetworkIdentity-connectionToClient.html

“The connection associated with this NetworkIdentity. This is only valid for player objects on the server.”

And by this, you can deduct that it’ll be always invalid in a client.

In the client, maybe you could use: https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Networking.NetworkIdentity-connectionToServer.html

But I’m not sure if it’ll work either.
