Hi,

I'm trying Unitys network functionality for the first time. My current problem is the following: A player can Network.Instantiate a building that will automatically spawn units for him. this works fine, the building is created for both client and server.

But when the building spawns the unit the Network.Instantiate for this unit is fired by both the server and the client (as the building exists on both) and therefore i'll have two units. If I GameObject.Instantiate the unit, i'll end up with one spawned unit on each client and server, but i guess that i'll have virtually two units then, because they are not connected via network. I'd like to try this in a non authoritive server approach first, if its possible. I'm not sure wether this piece of code helps. How do I fix this?

void FixedUpdate()
{
    if (spawnsCreep == null)
    {
        return; 
    }

    timer -= Time.deltaTime;
    if (timer <= 0)
    {
        Spawn();
        timer = spawnTimer;
    }
}

void Spawn()
{
    GameObject offspring = Network.Instantiate(spawnsCreep, GetComponent<Transform>().position, Quaternion.identity, 0) as GameObject;
    int id = GetComponent<CombatBehaviour>().GetPlayerID();
    offspring.GetComponent<CombatBehaviour>().SetNetworkPlayerID(id);
}

Note: Both the units and buildings NetworkView are already added in the prefabs.

Edit: Of course after asking the Question, a quick and dirty solution came to my mind:

if (Network.isClient)
    {
        return;
    }

Seems quick and dirty, works for the moment. But i'm not sure if its the optimal way to build on.
