clone of the player joining my multiplayer session instead of the actual player trying to connect

[sharp canyon]

they players do connect to the same session apparently but they don't show up on each players screen where they're "supposed" to be
ie: instead of each player seeing the other person on their own screen they instead just see a clone of themselves for some reason that copies their inputs
the UI is also broken for some reason and doesn't apply on the second player trying to connect

objects in my scene if it matters at all

if anyone maybe knows what's going on here and how to fix it that'd be great

You need to split the UI from all the character control stuff. That entire UI Manager is running locally for each player,

[sharp canyon]

wdym? the ui manager doesn't actually control the player it just enables and disables certain scripts on them

[dense ore]

Oh, I see. I skimmed through it too quickly. The UIManager shouldn't have anything to do with your player movement.

I would use the player's OnNetworkSpawn() to disable/enable components if its localPlayerObject is true.

Also make sure any NetworkBehaviour components remain enabled on all clients

[sharp canyon]

so do I just replace Start() with OnNetworkSpawn()?

or like wdym

[dense ore]

Have a network behavior component on the player object. When it spawns it can check if it's the local player object. It can disable/enable its own components. The UI manager should only be managing local non networked UI things.

[sharp canyon]

how would this fix the "clones" though

[dense ore]

You have something else going on if the clients are not in the same scene. The Network Manager will sync the scenes when clients connect. If you have a player prefab assigned in the network manager then it will spawn clones of that prefab for each client that connects

[sharp canyon]

sorry bad wording, I meant like the players not showing up on eachothers screen where they're supposed to be

[sharp canyon]

like here ^^

[dense ore]

The UI problems are likely due to the client not having access to the connected client list. That is usually a host/server only thing. Also don't know how your players are set up. if they all have a camera and player input or not

well how do I fix that?

[dense ore]

By not using the UI manager to disable things on the player. Use RPCs if you need the client to send information to the clients if you need to. Also make sure that nothing on your player is a singleton.

[sharp canyon]

is this what you meant? bcs like the UI still just doesn't show up for the second person

code if it matters at all vvv
ui manager --> https://blazebin.io/fqhsftlmvapl/0

script handler on the player body --> https://blazebin.io/kvjbpklafyee/0

the players also just don't show up on eachothers screen either

[dense ore]

it looks like the player object is falling through the floor. Are you using a Network Transform on the player?

If it has a rigidbody you would probably want a network rigidbody as well

[sharp canyon]

oh

yeah okay

do you maybe know why the input system only works for the host here btw? @dense ore

the players are actually synced on screen now though which is rly nice :D

[dense ore]

You need to make sure that only the local player is accepting inputs. You need to check if(IsLocalPlayer) before applying your move inputs

[sharp canyon]

oh oki but where am I supposed to put it here? https://blazebin.io/hrcdfecymdeh/0
