# Getting Started
|
||
|
||
This document describes steps to converting a single player game to a multiplayer game, using the new Unity Multiplayer networking system. The process described here is a simplified, higher level version of the actual process for a real game; it doesn’t always work exactly like this, but it provides a basic recipe for the process.
|
||
|
||
## NetworkManager set-up
|
||
|
||
- Add a new game object to the Scene and rename it “NetworkManager”.
|
||
|
||
- Add the NetworkManager component to the “NetworkManager” game object.
|
||
|
||
- Add the NetworkManagerHUD component to the game object. This provides the default UI for managing the network game state.
|
||
|
||
See [Using the NetworkManager](../Components/NetworkManager.md).
|
||
|
||
## Player Prefab
|
||
|
||
- Find the Prefab for the player game object in the game, or create a Prefab from the player game object
|
||
|
||
- Add the NetworkIdentity component to the player Prefab
|
||
|
||
- Check the LocalPlayerAuthority box on the NetworkIdentity
|
||
|
||
- Set the `playerPrefab` in the NetworkManager’s Spawn Info section to the player Prefab
|
||
|
||
- Remove the player game object instance from the Scene if it exists in the Scene
|
||
|
||
See [Player Objects](../Concepts/GameObjects/SpawnPlayer.md) for more information.
|
||
|
||
## Player movement
|
||
|
||
- Add a NetworkTransform component to the player Prefab
|
||
|
||
- Update input and control scripts to respect `isLocalPlayer`
|
||
|
||
- Fix Camera to use spawned player and `isLocalPlayer`
|
||
|
||
For example, this script only processes input for the local player:
|
||
|
||
``` cs
|
||
using UnityEngine;
|
||
using Mirror;
|
||
|
||
public class Controls : NetworkBehaviour
|
||
{
|
||
void Update()
|
||
{
|
||
if (!isLocalPlayer)
|
||
{
|
||
// exit from update if this is not the local player
|
||
return;
|
||
}
|
||
|
||
// handle player input for movement
|
||
}
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Basic player game state
|
||
|
||
- Make scripts that contain important data into NetworkBehaviours instead of MonoBehaviours
|
||
|
||
- Make important member variables into SyncVars
|
||
|
||
See [State Synchronization](../Concepts/StateSync.md).
|
||
|
||
## Networked actions
|
||
|
||
- Make scripts that perform important actions into NetworkBehaviours instead of MonoBehaviours
|
||
|
||
- Update functions that perform important player actions to be commands
|
||
|
||
See [Networked Actions](../Concepts/Communications/index.md).
|
||
|
||
## Non-player game objects
|
||
|
||
Fix non-player prefabs such as enemies:
|
||
|
||
- Add the NetworkIdentify component
|
||
|
||
- Add the NetworkTransform component
|
||
|
||
- Register spawnable Prefabs with the NetworkManager
|
||
|
||
- Update scripts with game state and actions
|
||
|
||
## Spawners
|
||
|
||
- Potentially change spawner scripts to be NetworkBehaviours
|
||
|
||
- Modify spawners to only run on the server (use isServer property or the `OnStartServer()` function)
|
||
|
||
- Call `NetworkServer.Spawn()` for created game objects
|
||
|
||
## Spawn positions for players
|
||
|
||
- Add a new game object and place it at player’s start location
|
||
|
||
- Add the NetworkStartPosition component to the new game object
