Why is my script variable NULL in a ClientRPC???

Questions & Answers
1

Here is my situation:
I have a private variable that contains a Monobehaviour.
When the connection is established, this script is found.
When an RPC is called in which I want to use this script on a client(not for the server!), it returns NULL?!

The script is not being destroyed nor being set to NULL anywhere in my game.

       public override void OnStartLocalPlayer () {
    	      builderScript = GameObject.Find ("Terrain").GetComponent<TowerBuilder> ();
    	       Debug.Log (builderScript);//this works
        }
    
    	[ClientRpc]
    	void RpcBuildTower(Vector3 buildPos, Quaternion buildRot, Color towerC){
    		Debug.Log (builderScript);//prints "NULL"
    		builderScript = GameMaster.instance.builderScript;//I have to find it again to get it working
    		Debug.Log (builderScript);//prints "TowerBuilder" again
    		builderScript.BuildTower (buildPos, buildRot, towerC);
    	}

Any help is appreciated!

ClientRPC runs the function on all Clients using data from the server.

When you fill your builderScript with the GetComponent method, you do this as the LocalPlayer only. The Server has no data, that the variable builderScript has got a reference to your TowerBuilder. Thats why its null.
