SpawnWithOwnership on a gameobject with a NetworkAnimator OnIsServerAuthoritative = false

[sturdy jetty]

When Spawning a networked game object with Ownership, it is correctly spawning it by setting the client as Owner. But the animator get's an issue.

The networked object has a OwnerNetworkAnimator (OnIsServerAuthoritative = false) with a child gameobject, having an Animator attached to it,

Even when checking if IsOwner before doing animator.SetFloat,

It returns Only the owner can invoke a ServerRpc that requires ownership!

Is there something i'm missing ?

It's for a companion that will follow player around without any real interaction.
I wanted to optimize and reduce the script part from the host. So transform the companion to client side.
I'm just syncing the transform position and animation.

Is this error coming from the Network Animator? I didn't think it used RPCs. Also when are you setting the animator float? Is the network transform also set to owner authority?

It is coming from NetworkAnimator,

And yes, the NetworkTransform of that companion is also authority mode set to Owner

The code is as simple as this, if I comment the animator.SetFloat, the error is gone properly

WHen I inspect the gameobject, the NetworkObject has IsOwner set to true. (The child gameobject with Animator doesn't have anything else attached to itself)

What version of NGO are you using? It might be because IsOwner might not be set immediately on spawn. But sounds like a bug either way

I'm using NGO: 2.5.1 (Unity 6.2)
