ObserverRPC ExcludeOwner still contains owner on client predicted objects?

Unity version: Unity 6000.0.47f1

FishNet Version: FishNet 4.6.15

Description:

Not sure if this is a bug, and its trivial to get around just it seems inconsistent with non client predicted anyway so reporting just incase.

See attached image, when using a client predicted object, ObserverRPC with ExcludeOwner set to true, still receives the RPC even when they are the owner. Or is this simply just due to how BufferLast works?

Replication:

• Client creates and spawns a client predicted object.
• Server/host client calls an ObserverRPC during OnStartServer with ExcludeOwner and BufferLast both set to true.

Expectation:
Owner of the object should not receive the ObserverRPC when ExcludeOwner is true.

Please create a test project and attach. There's a how-to guide in documentation, as well when you create a new bug report.

Hey apologies for delay.

I was wrong about this being the issue. It is nothing to do with predicted spawning.

Calling an ObserverRPC in OnStartServer -> Sends over an OBSCommand to all Observers even if it is the owner. (BufferLast enabled.)
Calling an ObserverRPC in OnSpawnServer -> does not send to owner / as intended.

I can now see this being intended / not a bug. I only encountered this with predicted objects as I was using payloads with some initializing stuff and seeing this occur felt inconsistent at the time. (But really now just seems I was using things wrong.)
Feel free to close this, below is refs if needed.

This might be a bug if the predicted spawner is also the owner. When you predicted spawn you can specify who owns the object, and if you are not specifying the predicted spawner then it is expected they get the RPC.

If they are the owner, this might be considered a bug and it needs to be looked into.

From what you wrote I would assume you're setting owner in the spawn message, which merits this to be investigated. A response on this would be appreciated but not required; the project files will get looked at either way.

Resolved in 4.6.21.

The issue was related to BufferLast not also storing the 'ExludeOwner' option.
