SyncVarAttribute.hook

Description

The hook attribute can be used to specify a function to be called when the sync var changes value on the client.

This ensures that all clients receive the proper variables from other clients.

//Attach this to the GameObject you would like to spawn (the player).
//Make sure to create a NetworkManager with an HUD component in your Scene. To do this, create a GameObject, click on it, and click on the Add Component button in the Inspector window.  From there, Go to Network>NetworkManager and Network>NetworkManagerHUD respectively.
//Assign the GameObject you would like to spawn in the NetworkManager.
//Start the server and client for this to work.

//Use this script to send and update variables between Networked GameObjects

using UnityEngine.Networking;

    public const int m_MaxHealth = 100;

    //Detects when a health change happens and calls the appropriate function
    [SyncVar(hook = "OnChangeHealth")]

    public RectTransform healthBar;

    public void TakeDamage(int amount)
    {
        if (!isServer)
            return;

        //Decrease the "health" of the GameObject
        m_CurrentHealth -= amount;
        //Make sure the health doesn't go below 0
        if (m_CurrentHealth <= 0)
        {
            m_CurrentHealth = 0;
        }

        //If the space key is pressed, decrease the GameObject's own "health"
        if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.Space))
