(Help) Light from weapon only shows for host

[Aida Enna]

So I'm trying to add light to a weapon. The issue is that other players can see the glow/light effect when it's dropped (which is good!), but not when I'm holding it (which is bad!). Here's what the prefab looks like so far:

 

local function OnEquip(inst, owner)
	owner.AnimState:OverrideSymbol("swap_object", "swap_sword_blue", "swap_sword_blue")
    owner.AnimState:Show("ARM_carry")
    owner.AnimState:Hide("ARM_normal")
		
	inst.Light:Enable(true)
end
  
local function OnUnequip(inst, owner)
	owner.AnimState:Hide("ARM_carry")
    owner.AnimState:Show("ARM_normal")
	inst.Light:Enable(false)
end

local function ondrop(inst, dropper)
		inst.onuse = false
		inst.Light:Enable(true)
end
 
local function fn()
  
    local inst = CreateEntity()
 
    inst.entity:AddTransform()
    inst.entity:AddAnimState()
    inst.entity:AddNetwork()
     
    MakeInventoryPhysics(inst)   
      
    inst.AnimState:SetBank("sword_blue")
    inst.AnimState:SetBuild("sword_blue")
    inst.AnimState:PlayAnimation("idle")
 
    inst:AddTag("sharp")

    local minimap = inst.entity:AddMiniMapEntity()
	minimap:SetIcon("sword_blue.tex")
	
    local light = inst.entity:AddLight()
	light:SetColour(235/255, 244/255, 66/255)
	light:SetIntensity(0.8)
	light:SetRadius(2)
	light:SetFalloff(.33)
	inst.Light:Enable(true)
	
    if not TheWorld.ismastersim then
        return inst
    end
 
    inst.entity:SetPristine()
     
    inst:AddComponent("weapon")
    inst.components.weapon:SetDamage(50)
  
    inst:AddComponent("inspectable")
    inst:AddComponent("talker")
    inst:AddComponent("inventoryitem")
    inst.components.inventoryitem.imagename = "sword_blue"
    inst.components.inventoryitem.atlasname = "images/inventoryimages/sword_blue.xml"
	
	inst:AddComponent("equippable")
	inst.components.equippable:SetOnEquip( OnEquip )
    inst.components.equippable:SetOnUnequip( OnUnequip )

	inst.components.inventoryitem.keepondeath = true
	
	inst.components.inventoryitem.onputininventoryfn = function(inst, player)
	if player.prefab ~= "saber" then
	inst:DoTaskInTime(0.1, function()
	player.components.inventory:DropItem(inst)
	player.components.talker:Say("It's so heavy!")
	end)
	end
	end
	
    return inst
end
return  Prefab("common/inventory/sword_blue", fn, assets) 

I tried moving

	inst:AddComponent("equippable")
	inst.components.equippable:SetOnEquip( OnEquip )
    inst.components.equippable:SetOnUnequip( OnUnequip )

above the "if not TheWorld.ismastersim" so that it was run on the client, but that threw an error about equippable being null. Adding

 local common_postinit = function(inst) 
    local light = inst.entity:AddLight()
	light:SetColour(235/255, 244/255, 66/255)
	light:SetIntensity(0.8)
	light:SetRadius(2)
	light:SetFalloff(.33)
	inst.Light:Enable(true)
end

didn't solve it either. Help?

 

Also, is it possible to change the radius of the light after creation? I'd like to have it be brighter when dropped

Alright, I changed it so that the player gives off light, and when dropped, the item will turn it on/off and turn it's own light on/off. Wish I could have done it via weapon, as each one has a unique glow, but... =/
