Workarounds

  1. 85% success Use `if (networkObject.IsOwner) networkObject.RemoveOwnership();` then wait one frame before assigning new owner using a coroutine. 
    Use `if (networkObject.IsOwner) networkObject.RemoveOwnership();` then wait one frame before assigning new owner using a coroutine.
  2. 90% success Before assigning, check `networkObject.NetworkManager.IsServer` and only allow server to change ownership via `networkObject.ChangeOwnership(clientId)`.

中文步骤

  1. Use `if (networkObject.IsOwner) networkObject.RemoveOwnership();` then wait one frame before assigning new owner using a coroutine.
  2. Before assigning, check `networkObject.NetworkManager.IsServer` and only allow server to change ownership via `networkObject.ChangeOwnership(clientId)`.
  3. Implement a custom ownership queue on the server: when a client requests ownership, the server releases the current owner first, then assigns.

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. 60% fail

    RemoveOwnership() is asynchronous; ownership may not be released by the time the new assignment is attempted.

  2. 25% fail

    Spawning a new object avoids the conflict but causes resource bloat and breaks game logic expecting a single instance.

  3. 70% fail

    This hides the object from all clients, which may prevent the ownership error but breaks visibility requirements.
