Question by Megaboss · Nov 23, 2017 at 05:19 AM · networkingrpcsynchronizationcommand

Is there a way to create a shared variable between all the clients over network?

I am developing a racing game project in w$$anonymous$$ch i want to do somet$$anonymous$$ng as simple as when any one of the client $$anonymous$$t the finis$$anonymous$$ng point display a message on all other clients showing the name of that specific player say 'John; T$$anonymous$$s is the message that I want to display on all the clients connected when John $$anonymous$$ts finis$$anonymous$$ng point. 'John has won' After that there is a driving script attached to all the clients w$$anonymous$$ch i want to disable. I've been trying to do t$$anonymous$$s for 2 days now and can't seem to handle t$$anonymous$$s scenario. I came to know that client can only update it's instance on other clients and cannot change their's. T$$anonymous$$s is what I've done so far

     [SyncVar] string winner = "";
 
     private void OnCollisionEnter(Collision collision)
     {
         if (collision.gameObject.tag.ToLower().Equals("finish"))
         {
             winner = pname;
             CmdServerNotify(winner);
         }
     }
     [Command] public void CmdServerNotify(string name)
     {
         winner = name;
     }
     [ClientRpc] public void RpcUpdateWinner(string name)
     {
         winner = name;
     }
     void Update()
     {
         if (winner == "")
         {
             GetComponentInC$$anonymous$$ldren<TextMesh>().text = pname;
             if (isLocalPlayer)
             {
                 Camera.main.transform.position = cameraplace.transform.position;
                 Camera.main.transform.rotation = cameraplace.transform.rotation;
             }
         }
         else
         {
             RpcUpdateWinner(winner);
             GetComponent<drive>().enabled = false;
             GetComponentInC$$anonymous$$ldren<TextMesh>().text = winner + " has won.";
         }
     }

T$$anonymous$$s just works for own instance of 'John' on other clients but not their's What is the most appropriate way to do t$$anonymous$$s? Any help will be appreciated

I see you already know about SyncVar, you could make it work with that or maybe look into t$$anonymous$$s: https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Networking.SyncEventAttribute.html

How can I make it work with SyncVar? Let's say I have 2 clients a,b and a SyncVar winner now both a and b will have two copies of variable winner 4 in total i want to update all four of them i.e. 2 on client a and 2 on client b. I hope you understand what i am trying to achieve. Also I haven't looked up to SyncEvent i'll try using that too.

since same code is running for both a and b on client A so it creates two winner variables one for client a and other for client b and same happens on client B. Isn't this how SyncVar works? Correct me if i am wrong
