  • NetworkIdentity component
  • Animator component

Inspector Settings​

The following settings can be configured in the Inspector.

Client Authority​

This setting determines whether the client controls the animation.

  • true: Changes to animation parameters on the client will be sent to the server.
  • false: The server is the only entity that can control the animation.
