Unity Networking

Use this skill when implementing multiplayer networking with Netcode for GameObjects, including RPCs, state synchronization, network spawning, and lobby/relay setup.

Package Setup

// Packages/manifest.json
"com.unity.netcode.gameobjects": "2.1.1",
"com.unity.transport": "2.3.0"

For Unity Gaming Services (relay, lobby):

"com.unity.services.relay": "1.1.1",
"com.unity.services.lobby": "1.2.2",
"com.unity.services.authentication": "3.3.3"

Scene Management

NetworkSceneManager

Server controls scene loading for all clients:

// Server-side scene loading
public class GameFlowManager : NetworkBehaviour
{
    public void LoadGameScene()
    {
        if (!IsServer) return;
        NetworkManager.Singleton.SceneManager.LoadScene("GameScene", LoadSceneMode.Single);
    }

    void OnEnable()
    {
        NetworkManager.Singleton.SceneManager.OnLoadComplete += OnSceneLoadComplete;
    }

    void OnSceneLoadComplete(ulong clientId, string sceneName, LoadSceneMode mode)
    {
        Debug.Log($"Client {clientId} finished loading {sceneName}");
    }
}
