UNET Rotation of Child transform
I'm having serious trouble seeing the problem in my code that is preventing me from moving forward. I have coded this game to have the turrets on the tanks follow the mouse cursor of the player. The server turret faces the proper direction and it is represented on the client just fine. The client turret does calculate the rotation and fires projectiles in the proper direction, but does not rotate the turret transform. This is essentially the last step in my MVP for this prototype and I just can't see the problem. I need another set of eyes on the code to help me spot where I'm going wrong. Full disclaimer I am creating this project to teach myself UNET so if you spot a problem, or the problem I am having. I would very much appreciate a brief explanation as to what that problem is. Thank you for any help you can provide! I am including all relevant code below, the player class is basically a test-bed class for everything right now, I fully intend to split this class up into pieces once I have found this solution.

Hi, did you tried NetworkTransform component? Have a look at this: link text
@BeckStarDE The Player object is a NetworkTransform, and the turret object is a NetworkTransformChild attached to the Player Tank. Every instance of the game creates its own instance of the player. That player can only be controlled by the instance of the game the player was created in. The heirarchy is like this:
Player Object Prefab has NetworkTransform, NetworkIdentity, and NetworkTransformChild The turret object is passed into the NetworkTransformChild, and is a child object of the Tank object, which makes up the Player Object Prefab.
Not sure if its allowed on Unity Answers but I will include a version of the project in a link when I get home from work tonight if I am able.
Figured out my problem!!
Two things I was doing wrong:
First I changed the tankbarrel GameObject to a Transform Second in the RotateBarrel method I changed this line
float angle = Mathf.Atan2(GetBarrelDirection().x, GetBarrelDirection().y) * Mathf.Rad2Deg;
to
float angle = Mathf.Atan2(dir.x, dir.y) * Mathf.Rad2Deg;
getting the newly calculated direction and using that instead of the old direction, bone head move on my part for using the GetBarrelDirection method.
Hope this helps somebody in the future.
