SetParent not working properly | FirstGearGames / Fish-Networking | Page 1

Hi. I have this script attached to spear object, it's supposed to stick to networked golf balls but it displays warning "parent was set without calling SetParent. Use networkObject.SetParent(obj) to assign a NetworkObject a new parent. This is being made a requirement in Fish-Networking v4" and does not really work.

 public class StickToGround : NetworkBehaviour
    {
        [SerializeField] private Rigidbody rb;
         private bool hasCollided = false;
        private void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
        {
            if (hasCollided) return;
            hasCollided = true;
            if (other.TryGetComponent<NetworkTransform>(out var nt))
            {
                NetworkObject.SetParent(nt);
            }
            else
            {
                rb.isKinematic = true;
            }
        }
 
   }

Hi there, which FishNet version is this on?
And is this code running on the server side?

mental escarp Jul 21, 2025, 10:11 AM

#

version 4.6.7hf0. Its currently running on both client and server

#

Tried running only on server, still same behaviour

sweet valve Jul 21, 2025, 10:15 AM

#

Does it ever get set locally?

#

The parenting I mean

mental escarp Jul 21, 2025, 10:15 AM

#

nope

#

only this script does that

sweet valve Jul 21, 2025, 10:15 AM

#

So it's not an issue of syncing it, it's more of an issue of the parent not ever being set through that code on the server, right?

mental escarp Jul 21, 2025, 10:16 AM

#

Hmm, not sure about that. I'm using SetParent so it should be synchronized but it looks like I would be setting transform.parent directly?

#

I have synchronize parent enabled too

#

Can you see on the server if it's being set or not?

mental escarp Jul 21, 2025, 10:25 AM

#

Okay its being set but this behaviour is far from what I would except I guess?

#

#

So not only spear has teleported a bit from the hit point but also GameBall to which spear "glues itself" on to has changed its origin??

mental escarp Jul 21, 2025, 10:27 AM

#

mental escarp

this is origin of the gameball

#

and this is normal one

mental escarp Jul 21, 2025, 10:48 AM

#

I think issue might be that i'm attaching to collider as opposed to attaching to graphical object

sweet valve Jul 21, 2025, 10:50 AM

#

Ah, that could make sense, yeah

mental escarp Jul 21, 2025, 10:52 AM

#

But how would I fix that? From the docs: "When using a graphical object it's very important to remember that you do not want any components on or beneath it that could negatively be affected by smoothing, such as a capsule to move your player. "

#

So attaching to graphical object is not really an option too right?

sweet valve Jul 21, 2025, 10:53 AM

#

mental escarp So attaching to graphical object is not really an option too right?

Is the metal spear going to affect its movement?

#

Or is it mainly for visual effect?

mental escarp Jul 21, 2025, 10:56 AM

#

Unfortunately I want it to affect its movement and collide with surroundings while doing that :c

sweet valve Jul 21, 2025, 10:59 AM

#

Ah I see. Hmm, then it might need to be more complex. So that the spear collider gets added to the main object and a visual of the spear gets added to the graphical object

mental escarp Jul 21, 2025, 11:01 AM

#

Thats what I thought. Any ideas of how to pull this off? Spear collider is on separate child gameobject but how to actually transfer its parent to new gameobject? Its not networked so should I just go with transform.parent for this one?

sweet valve Jul 21, 2025, 11:03 AM

#

Yeah, that would be best

mental escarp Jul 21, 2025, 11:03 AM

#

shittt okay, that will complicate cleaning it after I despawn spear :c
