Spawning a Player Object?

Unity Engine
1

I want to go about spawning the player with my own script instead of the NetworkManager. I can’t seem to find out how to do this though/how the NetworkManager spawns the player, does anyone know? Here’s how I spawned the player before.

using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.Networking;
using System.Collections;

public class PlayerSpawn : NetworkBehaviour {

    public GameObject MainTrainer;
    public GameObject MainCam;
    public MonsterInfo monInfo;

    void Start(){
        CreatePlayer ();
    }

    public void CreatePlayer(){
        GameObject Trainer = null;
        Trainer = (GameObject)GameObject.Instantiate (MainTrainer, transform.position, Quaternion.identity);

        GameObject Cam = (GameObject)GameObject.Instantiate (MainCam, transform.position, Quaternion.identity);
        Trainer.GetComponent<TPBattle> ().mainCam = Cam.GetComponent<FreeLookCam>();
        Trainer.GetComponent<TPBattle> ().monInfo = monInfo;
        Cam.GetComponent<FreeLookCam> ().SetTarget (Trainer.transform);
    }
}

I just ran through this myself not 3yrs ago! Turns out, it’s pretty easy if you just extend the NetworkManager class. Here’s what I did:

  1. Create a script that extends NetworkManager so you have all the functionality it does. Add your override code in there. Mine looks like this:
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
using UnityEngine.Networking;

public class NetworkStuff : NetworkManager
{

    // Use this for initialization
    void Start () {
   
    }
   
    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update () {
   
    }

    public override void OnServerAddPlayer(NetworkConnection conn, short playerControllerId)
    {
        var player = (GameObject)GameObject.Instantiate(playerPrefab, Vector3.zero, Quaternion.identity);
       
        GameObject parent = GameObject.Find("Hull");
        Debug.Log("Parent: " + parent.name);
        player.transform.parent = parent.transform;
        NetworkServer.AddPlayerForConnection(conn, player, playerControllerId);
    }
}
  1. Use your script instead of the default NetworkManager component. One note I ran into that threw me for a bit while testing, is you can’t just disable the default NetworkManager on your network stuff empty object. Mine didn’t start working properly until I actually removed the original NetworkManager.
