Multiplayer animation only visible for my character

Question

I've got a working multiplayer game, tried it when i turn it on from my pc and from a friend's pc. everything was working fine, except that the animations were only playing for my character. i have them in a script that makes them play when i press/release a button, but it has a NetworkView.isMine on it so that i don't trigger the other player's animations myself

any way to fix this?

 #pragma strict
 //var character : GameObject;
 private var moveDirection : Vector3 = Vector3.zero;
 var speed : float = 6.0;
 var cam : GameObject;
  
 function Start()
 {
     if (!networkView.isMine)  // if this is not my player, remove the camera
         Destroy(cam);
 }
 
 function Update () {if(networkView.isMine){
 if(Input.GetKeyUp(KeyCode.W)||Input.GetKeyUp(KeyCode.A)||Input.GetKeyUp(KeyCode.S)||Input.GetKeyUp(KeyCode.D))
         animation.CrossFade("idle");
         
 if (Input.GetButtonDown("Fire1")) 
     {
         //Attack animation - IF YOU ARE GETTING ERRORS BECAUSE YOU HAVENT MADE AN ANIMATION AND ATTACHED IT, DELETE THE FOLOWING LINE.
         animation.CrossFade("punch");
 
     }
     if (Input.GetButtonDown("Fire2")) 
     {
         //Attack animation - IF YOU ARE GETTING ERRORS BECAUSE YOU HAVENT MADE AN ANIMATION AND ATTACHED IT, DELETE THE FOLOWING LINE.
         animation.CrossFade("attack3");
 
     }
     if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.W)||Input.GetKey(KeyCode.A)||Input.GetKey(KeyCode.D)||Input.GetKey(KeyCode.S)) 
     {
         //Attack animation - IF YOU ARE GETTING ERRORS BECAUSE YOU HAVENT MADE AN ANIMATION AND ATTACHED IT, DELETE THE FOLOWING LINE.
         animation.CrossFade("walk");
     }
     if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Space))
     animation.CrossFade("jump");
         
     }
     }

The animation does not get sent over the network automatically so you will need to send a RPC call, telling the other clients that an animation is in need of being played. I have modified the script for you here but I don't know much JavaScript so there may be some syntax errors.

 #pragma strict
 //var character : GameObject;
 private var moveDirection : Vector3 = Vector3.zero;
 var speed : float = 6.0;
 var cam : GameObject;
  
 function Start()
 {
     if (!networkView.isMine)  // if this is not my player, remove the camera
         Destroy(cam);
 }
  
 function Update () 
     {
         if(networkView.isMine)
         {
             if(Input.GetKeyUp(KeyCode.W)||Input.GetKeyUp(KeyCode.A)||Input.GetKeyUp(KeyCode.S)||Input.GetKeyUp(KeyCode.D))
                 networkView.RPC("IdleAnimation", RPCMode.All);        
  
             if (Input.GetButtonDown("Fire1")) 
             {
                 //Attack animation - IF YOU ARE GETTING ERRORS BECAUSE YOU HAVENT MADE AN ANIMATION AND ATTACHED IT, DELETE THE FOLOWING LINE.
                 networkView.RPC("PuchAnimation", RPCMode.All);    
  
             }
             if (Input.GetButtonDown("Fire2")) 
             {
             //Attack animation - IF YOU ARE GETTING ERRORS BECAUSE YOU HAVENT MADE AN ANIMATION AND ATTACHED IT, DELETE THE FOLOWING LINE.
                 networkView.RPC("Attack3Animation", RPCMode.All);    
     
             }
             if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.W)||Input.GetKey(KeyCode.A)||Input.GetKey(KeyCode.D)||Input.GetKey(KeyCode.S)) 
             {
                 //Attack animation - IF YOU ARE GETTING ERRORS BECAUSE YOU HAVENT MADE AN ANIMATION AND ATTACHED IT, DELETE THE FOLOWING LINE.
                 networkView.RPC("WalkAnimation", RPCMode.All);    
             }
             if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Space))
                 networkView.RPC("JumpAnimation", RPCMode.All);    
  
         }
     }
     
     @RPC //IDLEANIMATION RPC
     function IdleAnimation ()
     {
         animation.CrossFade("idle"); 
     }
     
     @RPC //PUNCHANIMATIONRPC
     function PunchAnimation ()
     {
         animation.CrossFade("punch"); 
     }
     
     @RPC //ATTACK3ANIMTION RPC
     function Attack3Animation ()
     {
         animation.CrossFade("attack3"); 
     }
     
     @RPC //WALK ANIMATION RPC
     function WalkAnimation ()
     {
         animation.CrossFade("walk"); 
     }
     
     @RPC //JUMP ANIMATION RPC 
     function JumpAnimation ()
     {
         animation.CrossFade("jump"); 
     }

My modifications should send the animation triggers over the network. Hope this helps, -Harry Godden :-)
