#Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint() returns camera position in online scene

When I do

Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(
    new Vector3(Mouse.current.position.x.ReadValue(),
    Mouse.current.position.y.ReadValue(), 0));```
it returns the `Camera.main`'s position but only in a scene with a NetworkManager. If I move the whole script to a scene with no NetworkManager it returns the expected value. Why doesn't it work in the networked scene?
#

The way I use it it just runs in Update. After checking IsOwner (disabled the check for testing). So not in an RPC or anything. Just locally.

try specifying the camera instead of using camera.main

#

maybe other cameras exist in the scene

#

messing with it or something

# 
public Camera cam;
Vector3 mousePos = Mouse.current.position.ReadValue();
Vector3 worldPos = cam.ScreenToWorldPoint(new Vector3(mousePos.x, mousePos.y, cam.nearClipPlane));```
probably the first thing id try

No other camera exists

And since this runs on a prefab I cant assign a camera before runtime anyways so I would just assign cam = Camera.main as there is no other reference that is accessible at that time

#

Just for gigs and shittles I did this:

public Camera playerCamera;

private void Start()
{
    playerCamera = GameObject.Find("Main Camera").GetComponent<Camera>();
}

void Update()
{
    Vector3 pos = playerCamera.ScreenToWorldPoint(new Vector3(Mouse.current.position.x.ReadValue(), Mouse.current.position.y.ReadValue(), 0));
    print(pos);
}

I am absolutely aware that this is very bad practice but just for testing. However it is the same result
