Basic Documentation

• To invoke a function across all clients, make sure your script inherits from NetworkBehavior, then call NetworkInvoke("FUNCTION_NAME", object[] parameters, bool includeOwner). If includeOwner = true, function will be invoked again on calling client
• NetworkIdentity.isLocalPlayer returns true for current local client that has authority, useful for player control scripts where only the object with authority should respond
• Attach NetworkTransform to any object you wish to sync transform with. Options to sync position, rotation, scale, and specify a sync interval (lower may be more accurate but cost on network usage)
• To spawn an object across all connected clients, use NetworkSpawn(GameObject object), make sure the prefab is registered to NetworkManager before spawning
• To spawn player, add player prefab to NetworkManager [Player Prefab] field
