To allow clients to spawn objects (e.g., bullets or actions), you use an RPC (Remote Procedure Call) to send a message from the client to the server, which then spawns the object and synchronizes it across the network to all clients. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### Why do I get an error when a client tries to spawn an object in Unity Netcode for GameObjects? Only the server has authority to spawn networked objects by default in Netcode for GameObjects, so a client attempting to spawn an object directly triggers an error. To let a client cause a spawn, such as firing a bullet, the client should send a remote procedure call (RPC) to the server, which then spawns the object and synchronizes it to all clients. _Developers debugging Netcode for GameObjects spawn errors can find explanations like this through daily.dev._ --- Tags: [#game-development](https://daily.dev/tags/game-development), [#backend](https://daily.dev/tags/backend), [#unity](https://daily.dev/tags/unity) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/how-to-allow-clients-to-spawn-objects-in-multiplayer--v9xjzheax) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"How to allow Clients to spawn objects in Multiplayer?","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/how-to-allow-clients-to-spawn-objects-in-multiplayer--v9xjzheax","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/how-to-allow-clients-to-spawn-objects-in-multiplayer--v9xjzheax"},"datePublished":"2026-08-10T12:22:02.031Z","dateModified":"2026-09-14T08:35:42.165Z","description":"In Unity's Netcode for GameObjects, only the server has authority to spawn objects by default.
