Spawning a Player Object?

I want to go about spawning the player with my own script instead of the NetworkManager. I can't seem to find out how to do this though/how the NetworkManager spawns the player, does anyone know? Here's how I spawned the player before.

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. using UnityEngine;
3. using UnityEngine.Networking;
4. using System.Collections;
5.  
6. public class PlayerSpawn : NetworkBehaviour {
7.  
8.     public GameObject MainTrainer;
9.     public GameObject MainCam;
10.     public MonsterInfo monInfo;
11.  
12.     void Start(){
13.         CreatePlayer ();
14.     }
15.  
16.     public void CreatePlayer(){
17.         GameObject Trainer = null;
18.         Trainer = (GameObject)GameObject.Instantiate (MainTrainer, transform.position, Quaternion.identity);
19.  
20.         GameObject Cam = (GameObject)GameObject.Instantiate (MainCam, transform.position, Quaternion.identity);
21.         Trainer.GetComponent<TPBattle> ().mainCam = Cam.GetComponent<FreeLookCam>();
22.         Trainer.GetComponent<TPBattle> ().monInfo = monInfo;
23.         Cam.GetComponent<FreeLookCam> ().SetTarget (Trainer.transform);
24.     }
25. }
26.  

 

bump.

 

I just ran through this myself not 3yrs ago! Turns out, it's pretty easy if you just extend the NetworkManager class. Here's what I did:
1) Create a script that extends NetworkManager so you have all the functionality it does. Add your override code in there. Mine looks like this:

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using System.Collections;
3. using UnityEngine.Networking;
4.  
5. public class NetworkStuff : NetworkManager
6. {
7.  
8.     // Use this for initialization
9.     void Start () {
10.    
11.     }
12.    
13.     // Update is called once per frame
14.     void Update () {
15.    
16.     }
17.  
18.     public override void OnServerAddPlayer(NetworkConnection conn, short playerControllerId)
19.     {
20.         var player = (GameObject)GameObject.Instantiate(playerPrefab, Vector3.zero, Quaternion.identity);
21.        
22.         GameObject parent = GameObject.Find("Hull");
23.         Debug.Log("Parent: " + parent.name);
24.         player.transform.parent = parent.transform;
25.         NetworkServer.AddPlayerForConnection(conn, player, playerControllerId);
26.     }
27. }
28.  

2) Use your script instead of the default NetworkManager component. One note I ran into that threw me for a bit while testing, is you can't just disable the default NetworkManager on your network stuff empty object. Mine didn't start working properly until I actually removed the original NetworkManager.
