RPC is called but it doesn't destroy some GameObject instances

I have some multiplayer code that it’s giving me a bit of a headache. I’m not synchronizing anything over the network as I only need to transfer data between client and server. Only two players can connect (server + client).

When I set up a server and a client connects to it, some prefabs are instantiated in both client and server:

void OnConnectedToServer()
	{
		print("Server Joined");
		
		// ASK THE SERVER FOR ALL PARAMETERS NEEDED FOR OTHER PARTY RECONSTRUCTION
		nV.RPC("Request", RPCMode.Server);

		isConnected = true;
		
	}

[RPC]
	void Request(NetworkMessageInfo info)
	{
		print("SERVER: I just got a request from a client that wants to meet with me");

		// spawn units in SERVER
		_enemyUnitOne = (GameObject)Instantiate(enemyUnitOne, _posOne, Quaternion.identity);
		_enemyUnitTwo = (GameObject)Instantiate(enemyUnitTwo, _posTwo, Quaternion.identity);
		_enemyUnitThree = (GameObject)Instantiate(enemyUnitThree, _posThree, Quaternion.identity);
		_enemyUnitFour = (GameObject)Instantiate(enemyUnitFour, _posFour, Quaternion.identity);

		// trigger enemy units spawn in CLIENT
		nV.RPC("PlaceUnits", info.sender);
	}

That’s good so far. The PlaceUnits function looks like this:

[RPC]
	void PlaceUnits()
	{
		print("CLIENT: placing units...");

		_enemyUnitOne = (GameObject)Instantiate(enemyUnitOne, _posOne, Quaternion.identity);
         _enemyUnitTwo = (GameObject)Instantiate(enemyUnitTwo, _posTwo, Quaternion.identity);
         _enemyUnitThree = (GameObject)Instantiate(enemyUnitThree, _posThree, Quaternion.identity);
         _enemyUnitFour = (GameObject)Instantiate(enemyUnitFour, _posFour, Quaternion.identity);

		print("CLIENT: units placed.");
	}

All of this works perfect. The problem happens when the server clicks on a “Disconnect” button inside OnGUI() that triggers the following:

		// SERVER DISCONNECT BUTTON
		if (isInitialized)
		{
			if (GUI.Button(new Rect(Screen.width/2, 500, 200, 200), "Disconnect", style))
			{
				
				// destroy enemy prefabs on SERVER
				Destroy(_enemyUnitOne);
				Destroy(_enemyUnitTwo);
				Destroy(_enemyUnitThree);
				Destroy(_enemyUnitFour);

				// trigger destruction of enemy prefabs on CLIENT
				print ("SERVER: ASKING CLIENT TO DESTROY ITS ENEMY PREFABS...");
				nV.RPC("DestroyEnemiesInClient", RPCMode.Others);
			}
			
		}

And the DestroyEnemiesInClient function:

[RPC]
	void DestroyEnemiesInClient()
	{
		print ("CLIENT: DESTROYING ENEMIES...");
		Network.Destroy(_enemyUnitOne);
		Network.Destroy(_enemyUnitTwo);
		Network.Destroy(_enemyUnitThree);
		Network.Destroy(_enemyUnitFour);
		print ("CLIENT: ALL ENEMIES DESTROYED.");

		// signal SERVER that it is SAFE to DISCONNECT
		nV.RPC("TriggerDisconnection", RPCMode.Server);	
	}

In this last function I tried first with Destroy(instance) and Network.Destroy(instance) but no luck, the objects never get destroyed yet all prints show that the functions are being called correctly in both server and client.

I’d be grateful if anyone could give me some directions as to what I could be doing wrong :confused:

Best,

Why don’t you Netwrok.Instantiate() the objects with master client? so eveyrone will see them, and don’t need to instantiate them locally. Also when someone disconnects, the master server could destroy them with Network.Destroy()
