NetworkClient Class

Namespace: SWNetwork

NetworkClient is the entry point of your game to interact with the SocketWeaver backend services. You must have one and only one NetworkClient active in your Scene.

It is recommended to add the NetworkClient component to a separate GameObject in your scene. NetworkClient will automatically prevent the GameObject from being destroyed between Scenes.
