So, as the title says i am trying to figure out a good way sync all that information with other players in Unity. My problem is that i can't come up with a good solution since i am used to creating classes for everything e.g. attachments are its own class and then the weapon would save a reference to that attachment. But since you can't send custom classes over [Command] & [ClientRPC] i am a little stuck. A solution for this would be giving each attachment for a slot a unique ID and then passing the ID to other player but i feel like that is very error prone if other ppl add a new attachment or the IDs get mixed up.

Is there a "standard" way that this is usually done that i am missing?

I am fairly new to programming so any help is appreciated!

Hey your ID solution would probably be fine. *something* has to be sent between players so it has the potential to be mixed up anyway.

What you should look into though is serialisation. To give you a quick summary this would basically take your Weapon object which has all its references to different attachments and essentially save it down into an encoded piece of memory or a file, so it could be a chunk of 1s and 0s. You then send that across to the other player, their client de-serialises it and hey presto they can re-create your original Weapon object!

Thanks for that! So i looked into that a little but it seems like there is no way of serializing what kind of mesh the weapon has? My current setup is i have a weapon_base script that has data like damage fire rate etc on the root GameObject and as child is the imported mesh and that is saved as a Prefab. Which then is spawned by a weapon pool where the players then get the desired weapon from. Which also currently is not setup correctly since new connecting players don't have the weapons synced for already connected players.. but i probably should create a new post just for that. 

So i guess what i am trying to ask if there is a way to serialize complete prefabs because i will probably have the same problem once i start working on the attachments.

I understand what you are saying but at the same time i am super confused how to actually implement this. I currently when a player connects he equips a Loadout and sends all the needed data to other players - and that works fine for players already in the game to have new players updated. But when a player connects none of the already connected players get properly updated. I don't know if i am missing a callback that unity has or if my setup is completely wrong. If you need code to that let me know but maybe that is a common problem that has an obv solution.

Thanks for the help so far @MidnightPacific.

When the server sees a new player connect, it should collect all the state of the already-connected players and send those to the new player.

That's a great explanation  

I managed to get it working by checking when a client is connected and ready, then i iterate a list of the connected players and update the weapons only on that client.

Thanks for all the help!
