Why cant I change the name on the client?

Code (CSharp):

1.     public override void OnServerAddPlayer(NetworkConnection conn, short playerControllerId)
2.     {
3.         //base.OnServerAddPlayer(conn, playerControllerId);
4.         for (int i = 0; i < SpawnPoints.Count; i++)
5.         {
6.             if (SpawnPoints[i].Occupied == false)
7.             {
8.                 //init
9.                 //base.OnServerAddPlayer(conn, playerControllerId);
10.                 GameObject player = (GameObject)Instantiate(playerPrefab, SpawnPoints[i].Point.position, SpawnPoints[i].Point.rotation);
11.                 player.name = "Player_" + i;
12.  
13.                 //playerTracker.Add(player);
14.                 SpawnPoints[i].PlayerGO = player;
15.                 SpawnPoints[i].uID = i;
16.                 SpawnPoints[i].Occupied = true;
17.  
18.                 //set on player
19.                 aPlayer tPlayer = PathAddPlayer(new aPlayer("Player_" + i.ToString(), i, i, 1));
20.                 player.GetComponent<CarControl>().MyPlayer = PlayerList[i];
21.  
22.                 NetworkServer.AddPlayerForConnection(conn, player, playerControllerId);
23.                 //NetworkServer.SendToClientOfPlayer(player, MsgType.UpdateVars, null);
24.                 //player.GetComponent<CarControl>().RpcCallFromServerOnClient(player, tPlayer, SpawnPoints);
25.                 return;
26.             }
27.         }
28.     }

The Values are set perfektly on Server side but on client there are no values even the name of the PlayerGameObject ist (Clone)

Anyone knows how to sync this on spawn?

 

Make sure that the values you want to have synced are SyncVars.

 

GameObject.name is not a network-synced value. You will need to set it client-side in a OnStartLocalPlayer(). Unity uses NetworkIdentity.netid to identify Network objects across the network

 

Why not create a Player or PlayerSettings class, which holds the player's name instead of using the hierarchy system.
