OpenLobbyPlayMode

Concrete GameStateWithPlayer implementation for open lobby play mode. It manages UI loading, matchmaking connection, and playtime logging, and coordinates player entry into the shared game space.

public class OpenLobbyPlayMode : GameStateWithPlayer

Purpose​

  • Represents the gameplay state when players are in the open lobby
  • Handles player joining, scene-specific UI, and reconnect logic
  • Logs playtime and manages server session lifecycle

Constructor​

public OpenLobbyPlayMode(ServerScene _scn, GameStateManager manager)

Initializes the scene reference and attaches the lobby state to the GameStateManager.

Fields​

PlayerSettings_SO settings​

Holds player preferences, such as FPS cap (optional/unused in current version).

bool localhosted​

Whether the session is running in local host mode (e.g., for debugging).

AssetReferenceGameObject _sceneUI​

Addressable reference to the UI prefab specific to this scene.

GameObject _sceneUIInstance​

Instantiated reference of the scene UI.

Lifecycle Methods​

void EnterState()​

  • Sets frame rate (target: 60fps)
  • Loads UI prefab if assigned
  • Initiates server matchmaking or local session

async Task ExitState(bool allowRejoin = false)​

  • Logs playtime via FireAuth
  • Releases UI prefab instance
  • Requests player disconnect through the Spawner

Scene & Network Utilities​

async void LoadSceneUI()​

Instantiates _sceneUI as a prefab asynchronously, if not already spawned.

async void RequestServer()​

Starts a multiplayer session using GameStateManager.RequestServer.

Input Handling​

void UpdateFromState()​

Listens for key input (e.g., R key for rejoin) to trigger debug reconnect logic (currently commented out).

Behavior​

  • Always returns true from CanExitState(), allowing transitions out of this state.
  • Designed to support both client and server contexts (UNITY_SERVER vs non-server builds).

Example Usage​

var lobbyState = new OpenLobbyPlayMode(myScene, GameStateManager.Local);
GameStateManager.Local.RequestState(lobbyState);

This class encapsulates the full lifecycle and multiplayer readiness logic for players entering the open-world lobby state.
