Control how Unity initializes a Multiplayer service
When you enter Play Mode in a project that uses multiplayer widgets, Unity does the following by default:
- Initializes UnityServices.
- Initializes Vivox if it already exists in your project.
- Uses the anonymous sign-in to authenticate a user.
If your project uses another authentication method, or you want to initialize these features at another time, override the default initialization behavior. To do this:
- In the main menu, go to Edit > Project Settings.
- Select Widgets.
- Enable Use Custom Service Initialization.
When you enable this property, you need to manually initialize the following services for Widgets to work:
- Unity Gaming Services (UGS)
- Authentication
- Vivox Service, when the Vivox Package exists in your Project.
When you enable Use Custom Service Initialization Unity creates a ScriptableObject in the Assets folder under Assets > Multiplayer Widgets > Resources > MultiplayerWidgetsSettings.
To tell multiplayer widgets that you have initialized one or more of these services, call WidgetServiceInitialization.ServicesInitialized in the MultiplayerWidgetsSettings script.
