Class NetworkManagerHelper

Helper class to instantiate a NetworkManager This also provides the ability to: --- instantiate GameObjects with NetworkObject components that returns a Guid for accessing it later. --- add NetworkBehaviour components to the instantiated GameObjects --- spawn a NetworkObject using its parent GameObject's Guid Call StartNetworkManager in the constructor of your runtime unit test class. Call ShutdownNetworkManager in the destructor of your runtime unit test class.

Includes a useful "BuffersMatch" method that allows you to compare two buffers (returns true if they match false if not)

Methods

AddComponentToObject<T>(Guid)

Helper class to add a component to the GameObject with a NetoworkObject component

Declaration

public static T AddComponentToObject<T>(Guid gameObjectIdentifier) where T : NetworkBehaviour

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
Guid	gameObjectIdentifier	ID returned to reference the game object

Returns

Type	Description
T	The newly added component instance of type T

Type Parameters

Name	Description
T	NetworkBehaviour component being added to the GameObject

AddGameNetworkObject(string)

Add a GameObject with a NetworkObject component

Declaration

public static Guid AddGameNetworkObject(string nameOfGameObject)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
string	nameOfGameObject	the name of the object

Returns

Type	Description

ShutdownNetworkManager()

Declaration

public static void ShutdownNetworkManager()

SpawnNetworkObject(Guid)

Spawn the NetworkObject, so Rpcs can flow

Declaration

public static void SpawnNetworkObject(Guid gameObjectIdentifier)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
Guid	gameObjectIdentifier	ID returned to reference the game object

StartNetworkManager(out NetworkManager, NetworkManagerOperatingMode, NetworkConfig)

Called upon the RpcQueueTests being instantiated. This creates an instance of the NetworkManager to be used during unit tests. Currently, the best method to run unit tests is by starting in host mode as you can send messages to yourself (i.e. Host-Client to Host-Server and vice versa). As such, the default setting is to start in Host mode.

Declaration

public static bool StartNetworkManager(out NetworkManager networkManager, NetworkManagerHelper.NetworkManagerOperatingMode managerMode = NetworkManagerOperatingMode.Host, NetworkConfig networkConfig = null)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
NetworkManager	networkManager
NetworkManagerHelper.NetworkManagerOperatingMode	managerMode	parameter to specify which mode you want to start the NetworkManager
NetworkConfig	networkConfig	parameter to specify custom NetworkConfig settings

Returns

Type	Description
bool	true if it was instantiated or is already instantiate otherwise false means it failed to instantiate
