How to control animation transition of static object in unity multiplayer - unity3d

Question

I want to animation of a static object which is in environment of unity multiplayer, are need to happen when player click on it. and also the animation would show every player who are connected to the server
public class AnimationCtr : NetworkBehaviour
{
Animator anim;
bool canSpawn;
int count;
[SyncVar]
bool flag;
// Use this for initialization
void Start ()
{
anim = GetComponent<Animator>();
flag = false;
}
private void Update()
{
if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0))
{
Ray ray = Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay(Input.mousePosition);
RaycastHit hit;
if (Physics.Raycast(ray, out hit, 100.0f))
{
if (hit.transform.gameObject.name.Equals("door") && (!flag))
{
// anim.SetInteger("btnCount", 2);
Debug.Log(hit.transform.gameObject.name);
anim.SetInteger("btnCount", 2);
flag = true;
}
else if (hit.transform.gameObject.name.Equals("door")&& (flag))
{
anim.SetInteger("btnCount", 3);
flag = false;
}
}
}
}
}

One problem is that you cannot set a [Synvar] on the client side.
From the [SyncVar] docu:
These variables will have their values sychronized from the server to clients
I would also only let the server decide whether the current value of flag is true or false.
public class AnimationCtr : NetworkBehaviour
{
Animator anim;
bool canSpawn;
int count;
// no need for sync ar since flag is only needed on the server
bool flag;
// Use this for initialization
void Start ()
{
anim = GetComponent<Animator>();
flag = false;
}
private void Update()
{
if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0))
{
Ray ray = Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay(Input.mousePosition);
RaycastHit hit;
if (!Physics.Raycast(ray, out hit, 100.0f)) return
if (!hit.transform.gameObject.name.Equals("door")) return;
// only check if it is a door
// Let the server handel the rest
CmdTriggerDoor();
}
}
// Command is called by clients but only executed on the server
[Command]
private void CmdTriggerDoor()
{
// this will only happen on the Server
// set the values on the server itself
// get countValue depending on flag on the server
var countValue = flag? 3 : 2;
// set animation on the server
anim.SetInteger("btnCount", countValue);
// invert the flag on the server
flag = !flag;
//Now send the value to all clients
// no need to sync the flag as the decicion is made only by server
RpcSetBtnCount(countValue);
}
// ClientRpc is called by the server but executed on all clients
[ClientRpc]
private void RpcSetBtnCount(int countValue)
{
// This will happen on ALL clients
// Skip the server since we already did it for him it the Command
// For the special case if you are host -> server + client at the same time
if (isServer) return;
// set the value on the client
anim.SetInteger("btnCount", countValue);
}
}
Though, if you only want to animate if the door is opened or closed, I'ld rather use a bool parameter e.g. isOpen in the animator and simply change that instead (animator.SetBool()). And have two transitions between the two states:
Default -> State_Closed -- if "isOpen"==true --> State_Open
<-- if "isOpen"==false --
In your anmations you just save 1 single keyframe with the target position. Than on the transition you can set the transition duration -> how long it takes the door to open/close (they could even be different).
