Integration using NetworkTransport

If you need the maximum amount of flexibilty when integrating Unity Multiplayer Services, you can use the NetworkTransport class directly. This method requires more code, but allows you to control every detail of how your game integrates with the Multiplayer Services.

This is an example of how you can connect directly using the NetworkTransport class:

using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.Networking;
using UnityEngine.Networking.Types;
using UnityEngine.Networking.Match;
using System.Collections.Generic;

public class DirectSetup : MonoBehaviour

    bool m_MatchJoined;
    MatchInfo m_MatchInfo;
    string m_MatchName = "NewRoom";
    NetworkMatch m_NetworkMatch;

    // Connection/communication related
    int m_HostId = -1;
    // On the server there will be multiple connections, on the client this will only contain one ID
    List<int> m_ConnectionIds = new List<int>();
    byte[] m_ReceiveBuffer;
    string m_NetworkMessage = "Hello world";
    string m_LastReceivedMessage = "";
