Network Lobby Manager
The NetworkLobbyManager is a specialized type of NetworkManager that provides a multiplayer lobby before entering the main play scene of the game. It allows you to set up a network with:
- A maximum player limit
- Automatic start when all players are ready
- Option to prevent players from joining a game in progress
- Support for “Couch Multiplayer” (i.e. multiple players per client)
- Customizable ways for players to choose options while in lobby
There are two types of player objects with the NetworkLobbyManager:
LobbyPlayer Object
- One for each player
- Created when client connects, or player is added
- Persists until client disconnects
- Holds ready flag and configuration data
- Handles commands in the lobby
- should use the NetworkLobbyPlayer component
GamePlayer Object
- One for each player
- Created when game scene is started
- Destroyed when re-entering lobby
- Handles commands in the game
