NetworkDiscovery

class in UnityEngine.Networking

Description

The NetworkDiscovery component allows Unity games to find each other on a local network. It can broadcast presence and listen for broadcasts, and optionally join matching games using the NetworkManager.

This component can run in server mode (by calling StartAsServer) where it broadcasts to other computers on the local network, or in client mode (by calling StartAsClient) where it listens for broadcasts from a server. This class should be override to receive calls from OnReceivedBroadcast.

#pragma strict
public class OverriddenNetworkDiscovery extends NetworkDiscovery {
	public override function OnReceivedBroadcast(fromAddress: String, data: String) {
		NetworkManager.singleton.networkAddress = fromAddress;
		NetworkManager.singleton.StartClient();
	}
}

        NetworkManager.singleton.StartClient();
    }
 
}
