Syncing Particle System in Mirror

[stark yarrow]

I have a good amount of variation with particles in my game, and wondering how I would sync them with my clients when in game...

1. Particle systems that aren't attached to players, like an ongoing sprinkler effect that loops and goes on forever, how to sync that with clients so its the same for everyone?
2. Particles that are labeled as "Particle System" in my scripts, and I use particlesystem.Play() to play them, how to sync that with clients?

Thank you.

Dont send particle over network, send a number of which cmd/rpc event to call, like the example above.

I see, but how about when my particle system is an on-going effect like a sprinkler, do I update it every frame or is there a way to just spawn it and have it match on clients?

If its un-important to have it exactly synced, just have it activate via something like above.
If sprinklers on a timer, or needs to rotate, that will run locally, keep network activity to a minimum, so you can have more players and less hardware/bandwidth costs.

You can use network time too (which is a variable thats the same on server/clients)
