How to get NetworkViewID and GameObject attached to NetworkViewID

Question

I can't seem to find reliable information about this.

I have a Network View component attached to a game object. How can I access this Game Objects NetworkViewID from code?

I have tried gameObject.networkView.viewID which seems to return a NetworkViewID (could someone please confirm this is the NetworkViewID?).

I then pass it to a RPC function as such:

 @RPC function mountCloud(netViewID : NetworkViewID) {
     
     /* TRYING TO IMPLEMENT THE FOLLOWING CODE, DONT KNOW HOW TO GET THE GAMEOBJECT FROM THE NETWORKVIEWID PASSED IN
     mount = true;
     mountObject = netViewID.gameObject; //////////////////////////////////////////
     mountObject.transform.parent = this.transform;
     mountObject.transform.localPosition = Vector3(0,0,0);
     mountObject.collider.enabled = false;
     setWalk(false);*/
     
     if (networkView.isMine)
         networkView.RPC("mountCloud", RPCMode.OthersBuffered, netViewID);
 
 }

If this is the correct way to get the NetworkViewID, how can I get the gameObject from the NetworkViewID?

Yes, gameObject.networkView.viewID is a NetworkViewID type, so this is what you looking for.

(sorry all below in C#, I have no versions for JS but maybe will help you somehow)

I have in C# something like:

NetworkViewID targetViewID = hit.collider.gameObject.networkView.viewID;

(to find the NetworkViewID, in this case of an object hit by a bullet).

Example of reading/writing networkviews (object having multiple nw):

[RPC] void SpawnPlayer (NetworkViewID transformViewID) { instantiatedPlayer = Instantiate(playerPrefabs, spawnPoint, rotation) as Transform;

 NetworkView[] networkViews = instantiatedPlayer.GetComponents<NetworkView>(); // Read 
 
 Debug.Log(networkViews[0].viewID);
 
 networkViews[0].viewID = transformViewID; // Write
 
 Debug.Log(networkViews[0].viewID);

}

If you have only a NetworkViewID value and want to find the object in hierarchy, can use:

GameObject FindObjByNetworkViewID(NetworkViewID lookingForViewID) {

 NetworkView view = NetworkView.Find(lookingForViewID);
 
 Debug.Log(view.observed.name);
     
 return view.gameObject;

}
