How am I able to sync particles from my gun with other clients?

First of all sorry for my bad english.

I programmed a multiplayer game with photon in which you can shoot with a gun. With the help of tutorials I was able to sync the tranformation and rotation with the other clients. I also can shoot them, so they can die. My only problem is, that when I shoot with my gun only I can see the partical effects and the impact prefab. Now to my question. Can someone explain what I have to do, to sync the partical effects of my gun with the other clients.

Here is the shooting script of my weapon

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class Shoothing : MonoBehaviour
{

public ParticleSystem muzzleFlash;  
public GameObject impactPrefab;

Animator anim;  
GameObject[] impacts;  
int currentImpact = 0;  
int maxImpacts = 5;  
bool shooting = false;  
float damage = 25;

  
void Start()  
{

   

    impacts = new GameObject[maxImpacts];  
    for (int i = 0; i < maxImpacts; i++)  
        impacts[i] = (GameObject)Instantiate(impactPrefab);

    anim = GetComponentInChildren<Animator>();  
}

  
void Update()  
{  
    AudioSource audio = GetComponent<AudioSource>();

    if (Input.GetButtonDown("Fire1")&& !anim.GetCurrentAnimatorStateInfo(0).IsName("autopistol_walk"))  
    {  
        //thats the partical effect  
        muzzleFlash.Play();  
        anim.SetTrigger("Fire");  
        shooting = true;  
        audio.Play();  
    }

}

void FixedUpdate()  
{  
    if (shooting)  
    {  
        shooting = false;

        RaycastHit hit;  
        if (Physics.Raycast(transform.position, transform.forward, out hit, 200f))  
        {  
            

            //As you can see I already synct the damage with the server and the other clients 

            if (hit.transform.tag == "Player")  
                  
            {  
                hit.transform.GetComponent<PhotonView>().RPC("GetShot", PhotonTargets.All, damage, PhotonNetwork.player.name);  
            }

            
            impacts[currentImpact].transform.position = hit.point;  
            // thats the impact prefab   
            impacts[currentImpact].GetComponent<ParticleSystem>().Play();

            if (++currentImpact >= maxImpacts)  
                currentImpact = 0;  
        }  
    }  
}  

}

Hi @LeNerd,

muzzleFlash.Play(); is only called on your local client. You need to synchronize this as well to tell others to play the effect, too. In addition you should add if (PhotonNetwork.isMine) condition to the Update functions to avoid running code on objects that are owned and controlled by other clients.

The PUN Basics Tutorial has some words on shooting in games, too. Maybe you want to check this as well.

I hope that's clear: Call muzzleFlash.Play() when you get shot (for the remote character/weapon which is shooting). Don't send another RPC to do only this...

@Christian_Simon Would you also do Photon.IsMine for health update PunRPC?
