Nested networked objects

[fallow horizon]

Hi @stone owl

I need to have some NetworkObjects that are parented to some other NetworkObjects, and I need to change this parenting at runtime.
I read from the documentation (at https://fish-networking.gitbook.io/docs/manual/guides/spawning/nested-networkobjects) that this is "Nested NetworkObjects", and that this not supported (yet).

However, I would like to know if the below scenario is safe:

• Let's assume we have 2 NetworkObjects
• Those 2 NetworkObjects are spawned from the server in a standard way, ie independently with no nested aspects
• Once they are both spawned, the parenting is modified with standard Unity transform, both on Server and Client
• Before Deswpaning, the server is unparenting the nested NetworkObject and asks the client to do the same
• Despawns occurs then as usual

So ? Doable ? Acceptable or risky ?

Tx!

Not today sorry. Just got back from holidays and have other things with priority. Oh you're asking about a scenario, my apologizes.

Thought perhaps you needed to file a bug report.

I don't see why that wouldn't be doable. You dont need to tell client to parent or unparent either if a regular transform.

You could just add a script to auto sort locally

but RPCs are ordered as well spawns. So if you send a RPC 'change parent' before despawning for example, its fine
