Playing Animation over Network
My animation for a gate opening plays on the client, but no one else in the network game can see it. What should I add to mys script to make it play. as of now im using animation.Play("ewhatever");
You need to send an RPC to everyone to say that the animation is playing, then the RPC will be called on a lacal machine, so you don't actually watch it over the network, someone over the network turns it on then sends a message to your machine to turn it on for you. need more info? check out http://www.m2h.nl/unity/ and take a look at the network example. there is some more info and a forum for this here http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/75385-Ultimate-Unity-Networking-project-Add-multiplayer-to-your-game-today!
Try this:
@RPC
function AnimateNetwork (clip : String){
currentAnim = clip; anim.Play(clip);
} function Update () {`
currentAnim = "Run";
animation.Play("Run", 0.2); networkView.RPC("AnimateNetwork", RPCMode.AllBuffered, currentAnim);
}
Trust me, it's that simple, yet it works! this however only works for the legacy animation system, not mecanim. (Apparently, Mecanim is very hard to sync on the network!)
