The IsProxy property of the Component class indicates whether the component is part of a networked object that is owned by another client. If this property returns true, it means that the object is not under the control of the local client, and therefore, any attempts to move or manipulate it directly should be avoided.
Use the IsProxy property to determine if a component is a proxy for a networked object owned by another client. This is particularly useful in multiplayer scenarios where objects are synchronized across different clients, and you need to ensure that only the owning client can manipulate the object.
// Example of checking if a component is a proxy
Component myComponent = someGameObject.GetComponent<Component>();
if (myComponent.IsProxy)
{
// This object is controlled by another client
// Avoid moving or directly manipulating it
// You might want to update UI or log this information
// Example: Display a message to the user
ShowMessage("This object is controlled by another player.");
}
else
{
// Safe to manipulate the object
myComponent.Transform.Position += new Vector3(1, 0, 0);
}
