Network Identity on non-network game disables player prefabs

I have a game that needs to run in standalone and multiplayer network modes. When the player prefab is instantiated in the standalone mode, the gameobject gets disabled (because it has the Network Identity script attached).

How do I fix this behavior?

 

You can do something like this

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2. using UnityEngine;
3. using System.Collections;
4. using UnityEngine.Networking;
5.  
6. public class SinglePlayerMode : MonoBehaviour {
7.     [SerializeField] GameObject playerPrefab;
8.  
9.     void Start () {
10.         var player = Instantiate<GameObject>(playerPrefab);
11.         player.GetComponent<NetworkIdentity>().enabled = false;
12.         player.SetActive(true);
13.     }
14. }

 

It is better to run the single mode like the multiplayer mode or you will get a headache to support both.

 

"Disabling" the NetworkIdentity seems to have no effect. For a player prefab that returns a Transform, SetActive on the gameobject (with a NetworkIdentity attached) doesn't seem to work - it is like the NetworkIdentity script is still diabling the player.

Code (CSharp):

1. player.GetComponent<NetworkIdentity>().enabled = false;
