As you can see above, the host correctly displays this information, the client works but does not display the information to the server. I am so confused now I feel I have tried everything. Here is my code please any help is appreciated!

This is attached on Player:

  [SyncVar(hook = "Rpcchangechest")]
    public int echest;

 [ClientRpc]
    public void Rpcchangechest(int num) {
        echest = num;
		if (body.male) {
			if (ChestName == ChestName) {
				Destroy (ChestInst);
			}
			body.Mesh_male_torso.active = false;
			body.Mesh_male_arms.active = true;
			ChestName = Chest [num].name;
			GameObject NewChest = (GameObject)Instantiate (Resources.Load ("Armor/" + ChestName));
			ChestInst = NewChest;
			Destroy (NewChest);
			AddChest ();
            Cmdloadarmor();
        }

	}

This is from my UI Script.

 if (itemInfo.EquipType == UIEquipmentType.Chest && !equipped)
                {
                    //for calling on client
                    transform.root.SendMessage("Rpcchangechest", itemInfo.ID);
//Supposed to sync?
                    Player.GetComponent<ChangeArmor>().echest = itemInfo.ID;
}

ClientRpc and SyncVar are only synced if they are called from the server. You need to add a command method which is executed on the server.

Add this to the player script

[command]
public void Cmdchangechest (int num) 
{
	echest = num
}

Then do this in the UI script

if (itemInfo.EquipType == UIEquipmentType.Chest && !equipped)
{
	//for calling on client
	Player.GetComponent<ChangeArmor>().Cmdchangechest = itemInfo.ID;
}

After a very long two days I figured out my first problem that UNET has attacked me with. I will show my solution for anyone else needing help.

From my UI script that was attached in my Player object a command was sent to use this function(Which will find out if the player is the host, or not the host):

    public void updatechest(int newid)
    {
        if (!Network.isServer)
        {
            Cmdchangechest(newid);
        } else
        {
            changechest(newid);
        }
         
    }

Next I have my armor script attached to my Player, with a VarSync variable that calls the hook whenever the eChest variable is changed (We want to only change it with the server, using [Command])

  [SyncVar(hook = "changechest")]
    public int echest;

Then I had the server use this command, I figured any other change of your variable can cause errors, so this is the only time in my whole piece of code I change eChest:

   [Command]
     void Cmdchangechest(int num)
    {
        echest = num;
    }

So sure enough, everything started working correctly. Having [ClientRPC] on the hook function will make things complicated and atleast for me messed it all up. Im guessing perfection is a huge play here within UNET and this has been so dang confusing… But success!
