OnReceivedBroadcast not being called with Network Discovery

Questions & Answers
1

I have written the following code for automatically connecting to a LAN game. A pair of buttons call startLanHost and startClient. When running two builds of the game OnReceivedBroadcast is never called by a client. Is my code not written correctly?

public class NetworkConnector : NetworkDiscovery {
    

    public NetworkManager networkManger;
    public bool gameFound;
    public bool lookingForGame;
    public string networkAddress;
	// Use this for initialization
	void Start () {
	
	}
	
	// Update is called once per frame
	void Update ()
    {
        if (lookingForGame && gameFound)
        {
            networkManger.StartClient();
        }
	}
    public void startLanHost()
    {
        Initialize();
        networkManger.StartHost();
        StartAsServer();
    }
    public void startClient()
    {
        Initialize();
        StartAsClient();
        lookingForGame = true;
    }
    public override void OnReceivedBroadcast(string fromAddress, string data)
    {
        Debug.Log("Revcieved broadcast");
        networkManger.networkAddress = fromAddress;
        gameFound = true;
    }
}

It seems than the NetworkDiscovery’s Update() Function is doing something to call OnReceivedBroadcast, if you use Update() in the child class, the base Update() won’t be called.

You can try your own code in LateUpdate() or somewhere else.

Normally we do StartClient just in OnReceivedBroadcast(), and no need to use Update().

Hope it can help you.
