Hathora-Unity-Lobby-Example

Overview

This repository hosts a Unity project (version 2021.3.28f1) featuring a server browser built using the Hathora Cloud. The project is an example demonstrating how to list lobbies/rooms in a server browser, with support for the URP pipeline. It's designed primarily for FishNet unity, but most of the code can be adapted for Mirror.

Features

The project provides an example of how to integrate a lobby listing system with minimal changes to Hathora's original code. Key prefabs and scripts have been modified to support this feature.

Prefabs

1. hathoralobbyrow: Houses the lobby prefab controller script.
2. customlobbycanvas: Child of the HathoraManager prefab which holds the lobby prefabs.

Scripts

Modified scripts include:

• HathoraClientMgrDemoUI: Handles the UI for the client manager demo, including new additions for the custom lobby.
• HathoraFishnetClientMgrDemoUi: Contains the FishNet-specific client manager demo UI.

Usage

Lobby Prefab Controller

The LobbyPrefabController class is responsible for handling individual lobby entries.

Custom Lobby Canvas

The CustomLobbyCanvas prefab is responsible for holding the lobby prefabs, and is a child of the HathoraManager prefab.

Modified Methods

The HathoraClientMgrDemoUI script includes:

• OnJoinRoomAsClientBtnClick: Customized to handle the logic of joining rooms.
• OnViewLobbies: Modified to create prefabs and necessary logic to list and create lobbies in the CustomLobbyCanvas.
