<cat>Code.Network</cat> <title>Lobby System</title> # Lobby System The Lobby System exists so you can create, join, and query lobbies in a way that suits your games. ### Create a Lobby By default, adding a Network Helper to your scene will create a lobby when the scene is loaded. However, if you want more control, you can do this yourself. ```cs if ( !GameNetworkSystem.IsActive ) { GameNetworkSystem.CreateLobby();⤶ }⤶ var config = new LobbyConfig(); Networking.CreateLobby( config ); ``` ### Join a Lobby You can easily join an existing lobby, too. ```cs GameNetworkSystem.Connect( lobby.LobbyId ); Networking.Connect( lobbyId ); ``` ### Querying for Lobbies To get a list of all lobbies, use the `Network` global manager. ```cs List<LobbyInformation> lobbies; lobbies = await Networking.QueryLobbies( "myorg.ident" ); ``` ### Setting the default Launch Mode The default launch mode determines the lobby behaviour when your game is run. You can find the options in the editor by clicking Project > Settings, and then clicking Game Setup. - *Normal*: Creates a new game, without any considerations for lobbies. - *Launcher*: Like normal, but allows a user to select their map before launching. - *Quick Play*: Immediately attempts to place a player in an existing lobby. If none is available, creates a new game. None of these options will automatically create lobbies for you. It is up to your game (typically the Net Helper component) to create a lobby when the game is started. <upload src="ae247/8dc792dfa010125.png" size="20075" name="image.png" />
