Network Room Manager

Please see the Room example in the Examples folder in your Mirror folder.

The Network Room Manager is a specialized type of Network Manager that provides a multiplayer room before entering the main play scene of the game. It allows you to set up a network with:

  • A maximum player limit

  • Automatic start when all players are ready

  • Game is locked after start, preventing late joiners

  • Customizable ways for players to choose options while in room
