Since the answer wasn't given to your question:
At the top of your custom NetworkingManager class (which should inherit from NetworkManager, by the way), you should create a public GameObject variable. When your code compiles it will show in your editor as whatever you named it. After that, you can set it to a prefab object that you've made.
After that, it's just a matter of setting the GameObject you're instantiating to that in the code.
public class MyNetworkingManager : NetworkManager
{
public GameObject PlayerPrefab2;
public override void OnStartServer()
{
base.OnStartServer();
NetworkServer.RegisterHandler<CharacterCreatorMessage>(OnCreateCharacter);
}
public override void OnClientConnect(NetworkConnection conn)
{
base.OnClientConnect(conn);
//send the message here
//the message should be defined above this class in a NetworkMessage
CharacterCreatorMessage characterMessage = new CharacterCreatorMessage
{
//Character info here
};
conn.Send(characterMessage);
}
void OnCreateCharacter(NetworkConnection conn, CharacterCreatorMessage message)
{
if (message.character.Equals("player2"))
{
GameObject gameobject = Instantiate(PlayerPrefab2);
Player2 player = gameobject.GetComponent<Player2>();
NetworkServer.AddPlayerForConnection(conn, gameobject);
} else if (message.character.Equals("player1"))
{
GameObject gameobject = Instantiate(playerPrefab);
Player player = gameobject.GetComponent<Player>();
NetworkServer.AddPlayerForConnection(conn, gameobject);
}
}
}
