There is no NetworkManager script

Unity Engine
1

Hi

I am using Unity 5.0.2p4 and just started with client-server-architecture in Unity. But even in the very beginning of the documentation I got to a halt: I do not have Network components which I could attach to objects. The whole category is missing. I cannot attach a NetworkManager script either. I doubt that the whole category came in a later version of Unity so what is wrong here?

Kind regards

Looks like it was released with 5.1.

lol thx

I can’t believe such an important feature was not part of the framework for so many years!

The current networking solution replaced and older one which was less user friendly (though had some features which UNET is still lacking such as built-in authentication and NAT punch through).
