Network Player Direction in Unity - unity3d

Question

I am currently building my first multiplayer game in unity and having a little bit of an issue changing/transmitting the players direction over the network.
My current player controls class is this:
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
public class playerControls : MonoBehaviour {
#region
//Vars
//Movements Vars
public float runSpeed;
Rigidbody mybody;
Animator myAnimator;
bool playerDirectionE;
#endregion
// Use this for initialization
void Start () {
mybody = GetComponent<Rigidbody>();
myAnimator = GetComponent<Animator>();
playerDirectionE = true;
mybody.transform.eulerAngles = new Vector3(0, 90, 0);
}
// Update is called once per frame
void Update () {
}
void FixedUpdate()
{
float move = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");
myAnimator.SetFloat("speed", Mathf.Abs(move)); //To intiate the charecter transition(move)
mybody.velocity = new Vector3(move * runSpeed, mybody.velocity.y, 0); //move charecter along the x axis, and keep y on gravity, not touching the z axis
if(move>0 && !playerDirectionE)
{
Flip();
}
else if(move<0 && playerDirectionE)
{
Flip();
}
}
void Flip()
{
playerDirectionE = !playerDirectionE;
Vector3 theScale = transform.localScale;
theScale.z *= -1;
transform.localScale = theScale;
}
}
I am using the following client information to send commands over the network:
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
using UnityEngine.Networking;
using System.Collections.Generic;
public class PlayerSyncRotation : NetworkBehaviour {
[SyncVar(hook ="OnPlayerRotSynced")]
private float syncPlayerRotation;
[SerializeField]
private Transform playerTransform;
private float lerpRate = 15;
private float lastPlayerRot;
private float threshold = 1;
private List<float> syncPlayerRotList = new List<float>();
private float closeEneough = 0.3f;
[SerializeField]
private bool userHistoricalInterpolation;
[Client]
void OnPlayerRotSynced(float latestPlayerRotation)
{
syncPlayerRotation = latestPlayerRotation;
syncPlayerRotList.Add(syncPlayerRotation);
}
[Command]
void CmdProvideRotationsToServer(float playerRot)
{
syncPlayerRotation = playerRot;
}
[Client]
void transmitRotations()
{
if (isLocalPlayer)
{
if(CheckIfBeyondThreshold(playerTransform.localScale.z, lastPlayerRot)){
lastPlayerRot = playerTransform.localScale.z;
CmdProvideRotationsToServer(lastPlayerRot);
}
}
}
bool CheckIfBeyondThreshold(float rot1, float rot2)
{
if (Mathf.Abs(rot1 - rot2) > threshold)
{
return true;
}
else
{
return false;
}
}
// Use this for initialization
void Start () {
}
// Update is called once per frame
void Update () {
lerpRotation();
}
void FixedUpdate()
{
transmitRotations();
}
void lerpRotation()
{
if (!isLocalPlayer)
{
HistoricalInterpolation();
}
}
void HistoricalInterpolation(){
if (syncPlayerRotList.Count > 0)
{
LerpPlayerRotation(syncPlayerRotList[0]);
if(Mathf.Abs(playerTransform.localEulerAngles.z - syncPlayerRotList[0]) < closeEneough)
{
syncPlayerRotList.RemoveAt(0);
}
Debug.Log(syncPlayerRotList.Count.ToString() + "syncPlayerRotList Count");
}
}
void LerpPlayerRotation(float rotAngle)
{
Vector3 playerNewRot = new Vector3(0, 0, rotAngle);
playerTransform.rotation = Quaternion.Lerp(playerTransform.rotation, Quaternion.Euler(playerNewRot),lerpRate*Time.deltaTime);
}
}
My rotation looks fine on the client, but over the network on the second client, the rotation is broken and looks very wrong.
I have attached a link to a Webm where you can see the short video snippet of my problem HERE.
Would anyone here have any input as to what I could be doing wrong or how I could fix this issue? any suggestions would be appreciated.

Instead Using your custom code, i will like to say you that use Unet NetworkTransform. It is Unet high level API with different option of customization.
A component to synchronize the position and rotation of networked
objects(more).
Unet HLAPI are open source so you can also get the coding of the networkTransform at bitbucket.
