Leave & Quit from a Game Session to a Lobby

Flaemnova

Hi,

I wanted to implement a feature where players can leave the game session (after Runner.StartGame(...)) and return back to the Shared Lobby. This assumes they joined the lobby initially before calling Runner.StartGame(...).

Do I have to shutdown the runner, start the runner and rejoin the lobby manually? From the Application Loop and Karts sample, both disconnect from the game entirely upon leaving the session.

I am also looking for the answer to this question.

I searched but couldn't find it.

1. void Update()
2. {
3.    if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Escape))
4.    {
5.       PhotonNetwork.DestroyPlayerObjects(PhotonNetwork.player);
6.       PhotonNetwork.LeaveRoom();
7.       PhotonNetwork.LoadLevel(0);
8.    }
9. }

For now I've just

1) shutdown networkRunner

2) create new networkRunner

3) re-enter lobby with new networkRunner

@Flaemnova Had same question. I find the examples a bit confusing as they all seem to be switching scenes constantly when connecting to parts of Fusion: lobby, staging, gameover, etc. I gather this is just showing off how Fusion is scene agnostic? And doesn't loose the session in between loads? I don't know, but it's not how I am used to working the problem in Unity.

The Fusion Application Loop example in the Technical Examples is the one I found that simply shows the whole game loop from connect to disconnect.
