ClientScene.RegisterPrefab

Parameters

Description

Registers a prefab with the UNET spawning system.

When a NetworkIdentity object is spawned on a server with NetworkServer.SpawnObject(), and the prefab that the object was created from was registered with RegisterPrefab(), the client will use that prefab to instanciate a corresponding client object with the same netId.

	void OnGUI() {
		if (isAtStartup) {
			GUI.Label(new Rect(2, 10, 150, 100), "Press S for server");			
			GUI.Label(new Rect(2, 50, 150, 100), "Press C for client");
		}
	}
	
	// client function
	public void OnConnected(NetworkConnection conn, NetworkReader reader) {
		myClient.Ready();
	}
	
	// server function
	public void OnPlayerReadyMessage(NetworkConnection conn, NetworkReader reader) {
		GameObject thePlayer = (GameObject)Instantiate(singleton.playerPrefab, Vector3.zero, Quaternion.identity);
		myServer.PlayerIsReady(conn, thePlayer);
	}
}

The optional custom spawn and un-spawn handler functions can be used to implement more advanced spawning strategies such as pbject pools.
