OnSerializeNetworkView not called

Dear Community

I have an authoritative server network scenario in which the server instantiate the player objects of the other clients. The clients send only the input of their movement via RPC and the server is synchronizing the transform state with the build-in state-synchronization to the clients.

Now the clients can receive & send RPC calls over the player script and they also get the update of the transform from the state synchronization, but the OnSerializeNetworkView event is never called in the player script. I tried it with a simple Debug.Log to see if anything happens there.

Code (CSharp):

1. void OnSerializeNetworkView(BitStream stream, NetworkMessageInfo info) {
2.  
3. Debug.Log("OnSerializeNetworkView was called...");
4. }

Neither the client nor the server ever trigger the event. The player objects all have a NetworkView Component and they all observe their own transform.

Any ideas why the OnSerializeNetworkView event won't be called?
I need it to manipulate the behavior of the transform movement.

Cheers

If somebody else has this problem: In the NetworkView you have to observe the script component and not the transform. Super confusing, since it's not mentioned in any documentation.

 

It is in some documentation but probably a bit convoluted.
See "Observe MonoBehaviour" (e.g.) in our Feature Overview.
Sorry for the confusion. Glad you found it.
