How do I sync head rotation over network?
So I got this code to make my head rotate vertically with my mouse, I tried syncing this over the network but can't seem to get this to work. I've seen alot of threads on this and Unity's forum but still haven't got a good solution, this guy figured it out 'https://forum.photonengine.com/discussion/18057/moving-a-bone-on-a-humanoid-character-best-way-to-do-this-in-pun', But I don't really understand it.
Here is the code I use which works locally:

public class HeadTilt : MonoBehaviourPunCallbacks, IPunObservable
{
public Camera cameraRot;
PhotonView view;
private Vector3 objRot;
public Transform head;
// Use this for initialization
void Start()
{
view = GetComponent<PhotonView>();
}
void LateUpdate()
{
if (view.IsMine)
{
Vector3 tmp = cameraRot.transform.localEulerAngles;
tmp = cameraRot.transform.localEulerAngles;
tmp.x -= cameraRot.transform.localEulerAngles.z;
tmp.y = 0f;
tmp.z = 0f;
objRot = tmp;
head.transform.localEulerAngles = objRot;
}
}
public void OnPhotonSerializeView(PhotonStream stream, PhotonMessageInfo info)
{
if (stream.IsWriting)
{
stream.SendNext(objRot);
}
else
{
this.objRot = (Vector3)stream.ReceiveNext();
}
}
}

The LateUpdate checks IsMine. So the code in that block will only run on the controlling player's client.
Is that intended?0 -
Yes, I want every individual player to have their head rotate up and down with mouse input0
-
There is no code that applies the rotation for non-local players. OnPhotonSerializeView reads the incoming value into a local variable and that's it.0

Found a solution. for everyone trying the same thing, put this script on your character:
private Quaternion server_head; [SerializeField] private Transform Head; private void LateUpdate() { if (photonView.IsMine == false) { Head.localRotation = server_head; } } private void FixedUpdate() { if (photonView.IsMine == true) { photonView.RPC("RPC_UpdateBoneRotations", RpcTarget.AllBuffered, Head.localRotation); } } [PunRPC] private void RPC_UpdateBoneRotations(Quaternion h) { server_head = h; }0 -
RPCs are very ineffective to do this. You waste quite a bit of network traffic and messages/sec this way.
Better use OnPhotonSerializeView.0
