Scene Switching with Multiplayer Networking

I have two entirely different minigames, and I want to switch to the second game after the players has finished the first. Additionally, there is a networking component for both, with each part having its own unique NetworkManager.

How can I go about doing this? SceneManager.LoadScene does not seem to be enough, as the network seems to stay with the first NetworkManager.

Edit: From reading more, it seems like I should not have more than one NetworkManager. Is that correct?

 

Hi Avi, yeah the best bet would be to have one single network manager for your game. It becomes a singleton and stays throughout the whole playthrough of your game.

A good bet is to take a look through https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Networking.NetworkManager.html. Specifically there's a method called 'ServerChangeScene(string newSceneName) (https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Networking.NetworkManager.ServerChangeScene.html). That is what you want to do when you want them to go to a new scene.

Another good port of call is to make sure the 'Player' the NetworkManager is spawning is just an empty GameObject with a PlayerConnection class, or something similar. From there, you can listen to SceneManager.activeSceneChange events and instantiate the PlayerConnection's physical player, and then spawn it on the server.

Does that make sense?

Spawn the new scene additivley, move the non static objects over to the new scene. Then unload the old scene.

 

How do you additivley spawn scenes? In NetworkManager and LobbyManager it just seems to do it in single mode? Additive scene loading is a feature on my todo list.
