Network Lobby Example having NetworkIdentity on child objects

In the documentation it says that "the NetworkIdentity must be on the root of the hierarchy" but in the Network Lobby Example, when the player object is spawned, it is a child object with a NetworkIdentity. How does that work?

 

Nice. The ol' Unity magic, right there. You got to witness it first hand, my friend. I envy you.

 

On the root of the prefab* is more accurate.

 

Sorry it took me so long to reply Driiade. You are very right about the Network Identity being on the root of the player prefab. The instantiated player than is made a child of Player List, which has Lobby Manager as the highest level parent. This is similar to instantiated players being made children of the start position. I still don't know how the player object is instantiated as a child object, and why this wouldn't cause trouble with Network Identity

The reason I didn't respond early is that this is now causing me some problems, which I am going to make a new post about because it is a whole new category of error.
