Clients can't spawn bullets, but the server does

Question

Hi all,

I'm trying to develop a multiplayer project and I have a problem with spawning GameObjects on client. Here is the code I use: using System; using System.Collections; using UnityEngine; using UnityEngine.Networking;

 public class WeaponController : NetworkBehaviour
 {
     [SerializeField] private GameObject firePosition;
     [SerializeField] private ShotEffectsManager[] laserGuns;
     [SerializeField] private ShotEffectsManager rocketLauncher;
 
     float nextFire;
     float nextEffectFire;
     float nextRocketFire;
     private bool canShoot;
      bool laserShot = false;
      bool rocketLaunched = false;
 
     void Start()
     {
         for(int i =0; i < laserGuns.Length; i++)
         {
             laserGuns[i].Initialize();
           }
         rocketLauncher.Initialize();

         if (isLocalPlayer)
             canShoot = true;
     }
 
     void Update()
     {
         if (!canShoot)
             return;

         if (Input.GetButton("Fire1") && Time.time > nextFire)
         {
             nextFire = Time.time + laserGuns[0].fireRate;
             laserShot = true;
             rocketLaunched = false;
             CmdProcessShotEffects();
         }
         if (Input.GetButton("Jump"))
         {
             rocketLaunched = true;
             laserShot = false;
             CmdProcessShotEffects();
         }
     }
  
     [Command]
     void CmdProcessShotEffects()
     {
         if (!NetworkServer.active)
         {
             Debug.Log("SERVER IS NOT ACTIVE!!");
             return;
         }
         else
         {
             Debug.Log("Server Active.");
         }
 
         if (laserShot)
         {
             if (Time.time > nextEffectFire)
             {
                 nextEffectFire = Time.time + laserGuns[0].fireRate;
                 for (int i = 0; i < laserGuns.Length; i++)
                 {
                     Debug.Log("Before instantiating");
                     laserGuns[i].SetShotEffects();
                     GameObject go = Instantiate(laserGuns[i].ammoPrefab, laserGuns[i].transform.position, laserGuns[i].transform.rotation) as GameObject;
                     Debug.Log("Laser: " + go);
                     NetworkServer.Spawn(go);
                     Debug.Log("Networked Spawned");
 
                 }
             }
         }
 
         if (rocketLaunched)
         {
             rocketLauncher.SetShotEffects();
             if (Time.time > nextRocketFire)
             {
                 nextRocketFire = Time.time + rocketLauncher.fireRate;
                 Debug.Log("Before instantiating Rocket");
                 GameObject instance = Instantiate(rocketLauncher.ammoPrefab, rocketLauncher.transform.position, rocketLauncher.transform.rotation) as GameObject;
                 Debug.Log("Rocket: " + instance);
                 NetworkServer.Spawn(instance);
                 Debug.Log("Networked Spawned Rocket");
             }
         }
     }
 }

I've watched tutorials and added a lot of Debug.Logs in order to see what's happening there and it seems that CmdProcessShotEffects() is never called on clients I think. Everything is done right: both laser and rocket prefabs are spawnable prefabs in the NetworkManager and both have NetworkIdentity and NetworkTransform components.

I also have an unusual warning that sais:
" Did not find target for sync message for 14 //This number is different every time I shoot UnityEngine.Networking.NetworkIdentity: UNetStaticUpdate() "

And I don't know what it means.

Can anyone help me understand this issue, please?

Hi,

Well.. it's been a long time. I have changed some things, but I don't say it's the best way to fix the problem.

   void Update()
     {
         if (!canShoot)
             return;
 
         
         if (Input.GetButton("Fire1") && Time.time > nextFire && ammo$$anonymous$$anager.laserInUse.GetQuantity()  > 0)
         {
             nextFire = Time.time + laserGuns[0].fireRate;
             
             CmdProcessShotEffects();
             PlayerCanvas.canvas.UpdateLaserAmuont(ammo$$anonymous$$anager.laserInUse.GetQuantity(), 5000);
         }
 
         if (Input.GetButton("Jump") && ammo$$anonymous$$anager.rocketInUse.GetQuantity() > 0)
         {
             CmdProcessRocketEffect();
             PlayerCanvas.canvas.UpdateRocketAmuont(ammo$$anonymous$$anager.rocketInUse.GetQuantity(), 100);
 
         }
     }
 
 
 
     [Command]
     void CmdProcessShotEffects()
     {
         RpcProcessShotEffects();
     }
 
     [ClientRpc]
     void RpcProcessShotEffects()
     {
         Debug.Log("Process ShotEffects");
         for (int i = 0; i < laserGuns.Length; i++)
         {
             laserGuns[i].SetShotEffects();
             GameObject go = Instantiate(laserGuns[i].ammoPrefab, laserGuns[i].transform.position, laserGuns[i].transform.rotation) as GameObject;
             DestroyAmmo d = go.GetComponent<DestroyAmmo>();
             d.playerThatShot = ammo$$anonymous$$anager;
         }
       //  ammo$$anonymous$$anager.laserInUse.UseAmmo(laserAmount);
     }
 
     [Command]
     void CmdProcessRocketEffect()
     {
         RpcProcessRocketEffect();
     }
 
     [ClientRpc]
     void RpcProcessRocketEffect()
     {
         if (Time.time > nextRocketFire)
         {
             rocketLauncher.SetShotEffects();
             Debug.Log("C$$anonymous$$D+RPC Rocket");
             nextRocketFire = Time.time + rocketLauncher.fireRate;
 
             GameObject instance = Instantiate(rocketLauncher.ammoPrefab, rocketLauncher.transform.position, rocketLauncher.transform.rotation) as GameObject;
             DestroyAmmo d = instance.GetComponent<DestroyAmmo>();
             d.playerThatShot = ammo$$anonymous$$anager;
      
 
 
         }
 
 
     }

You can get around with this. Hope you find something. Good luck!
