Hello,
I have been using needle engine for creating a multiplayer game. Ive some issues syncing animator animations on my downloaded 3d model instance. Need help on how to get animator syncs!
I have tried PlayerState.IsLocalPlayer() but its not working for my downloaded model object.
Need help

Hey 
So you download a model from an external URL? Or what do you mean by “my downloaded 3d model instance”?
Yes external url

Hi @narendra.chaudhary
can you describe what you’re doing right now and what your goal is? How do you currently sync animations and which models are you downloading from where? Have those models been exported with any of our integrations?
hi,
I am trying to download a readyplayerme avatar model (public url) and animate it using an existing controller. I am able to download and see the model but when animator and syncanimator is attached on it, it does not animate.
I have seen the sample animator code and doing the same, but what I have observed is the animator component is reparented but it does not lose the references of the original animator, the new model stays in T-pose but the old model is seen animating. (Img attached in attachment)

Above Code Snippet:
let go = this.currentObject; // downloaded model
let animator = this.mainanimator; // animator reference of a static model
// SyncAnimator is custom class for animation syncing across network
if (animator) {
animator.enabled = false;
const sync = GameObject.getComponent(animator.gameObject, SyncAnimator);
let parent = animator.gameObject.parent;
if (!parent) {
console.log("parent to animator is null, animator is" + animator.gameObject.name);
return;
}
go.name = animator.gameObject.name; // renaming the object name as we noticed that animations do not work if the object name was different,
// some error on nodes.<object name> is null
// move data over
var animatorInstance = GameObject.addComponent(go, animator) as Animator; // this statement just reparents the component to new object
if (animator) {
animator.awake();
animator.enabled = true;
console.log("new animator ", animator, animator.gameObject.parent);
} else {
console.warn("animatorInstance on downloaded model found null or undefined");
}
// adding Sync Animator Component to sync player animations on network...
let syncAnimatorInstance = GameObject.addComponent(go, sync!) as SyncAnimator;
if (syncAnimatorInstance) {
syncAnimatorInstance.currentSyncedTransform = this.currentSyncedTransform!;
} else {
console.warn("syncAnimatorInstance on downloaded model found null or undefined");
}

Hey
GameObject.addNewComponent). Create a new Animator component, add it to the object, set the controllerinitializeRuntimeAnimatorControllerHi, would you mind putting your code into a code block? Otherwise it’s very hard to read. See https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/articles/210298617-Markdown-Text-101-Chat-Formatting-Bold-Italic-Underline-#h_01GY0DAKGXDEHE263BCAYEGFJA
Thank you! 
Thanks for the suggestion. I’ve edited the same in above code snippet. Hope its more readable now. Looking forward for your review.

Are there remaining issues or does the code work for you now?
I’ve made changes as suggested. It worked. Will test more and share my review on it later. Thank you.

Excellent! Yes, please keep us posted, I think it would be nice to have a ReadyPlayerMe sample, so if you would like to contribute that I’m all ears
