Disable auto network ownership assignment

  1. What do you want to achieve?
    I want to disable the automatic assignment of network ownership to unanchored parts. And I don’t want to manually set the network ownership to nil for every unanchored part.

  2. What solutions have you tried so far?
    I have found this Enum, but I don’t know where to use it, and neither does the documentation.

Thanks :slight_smile:

Hey, I don’t think there’s a way to do what you want to do without looping through every part.

for index, instance in ipairs(workspace:GetDescendants()) do
	if instance:IsA("BasePart") == false or instance:CanSetNetworkOwnership(instance) == false then
		continue
	end
	
	instance:SetNetworkOwner(nil)
end

workspace.DescendantAdded:Connect(function(instance)
	if instance:IsA("BasePart") == false or instance:CanSetNetworkOwnership(instance) == false then
		return
	end
	
	instance:SetNetworkOwner(nil)
end)

This should work, but I did not test it.
The connection is needed because if you add a new unanchored part while the game is running then it will have automatic network ownership.

Just in case somebody has the same problem, here is the best “solution” so far, you will still need to set the network ownership to nil when unanchoring parts though

	for index, instance in ipairs(workspace:GetDescendants()) do		
		if not instance:IsA("BasePart") then
			continue
		end

		if not instance:CanSetNetworkOwnership() then
			continue
		end

		if instance:GetNetworkOwner() then
			continue
		end
		
		instance:SetNetworkOwner(nil)
	end

	workspace.DescendantAdded:Connect(function(instance)
		task.wait()
		
		if not instance:IsA("BasePart") then
			return
		end
		
		if not instance:CanSetNetworkOwnership() then
			return
		end

		if instance:GetNetworkOwner() then
			return
		end

		instance:SetNetworkOwner(nil)
	end)
