Latest mirror version breaks changing team settings at runtime

[grave maple]

updating to latest Mirror version breaks changing networkTeams at runtime.
you used to be able to call
SetPlayerTeamID
and
SetForceShown
but these were changed to syncvars with no public functions. This results in:
Modifying a [SyncVar] from another assembly is not supported

Team IM has been overhauled since the most recent asset store release...is that what version you're on?

[grave maple]

Yes

[grave maple]

I "fixed" it by monkeypatching the two functions back into NetworkTeam. On first glance this doesn't cause any issues but I obviously would prefer this to not be reverted everytime I update mirror

@thorn shore I really don't see how you can mark this as resolved? you had a feature that got removed. Even if you overhauled it to a different system the documentation shows nothing about changing teams at runtime now, so does that mean we are just not supposed to?

[thorn shore]

You said you "fixed" yourself so I marked it resolved. The overhaul of Team IM hasn't been released yet. If you want to try it, let me know.

[grave maple]

so if thats the case changing teams at runtime is just broken in the latest store version right?

I have an example coming that uses Team IM. It needs work yet in game play mechanics, but all the Team IM stuff works correctly.
