Enable virtual players

info

You can only attach Player Tags to inactive players (including the Main Editor Player). If you plan to use Player Tags, create and configure your tags before you enable virtual players.

note

You must enable Virtual Players before you enter Play mode.

To enable Virtual Players for Play mode, do the following.

1. In the Unity Editor, open the Multiplayer Play Mode window by navigating to Window > Multiplayer Play Mode.
2. If you want to use Player Tags for any of your players, select the Player Tag from the Tag dropdown associated with each player. You can only add Player Tags to inactive players before entering Play Mode.
3. Select the checkbox for each Virtual Player (Player 2, Player 3, or Player 4) you want to add to Play Mode.
4. Wait for the player status to change from inactive to active for each Virtual Player you selected.
5. When active, the Virtual Player(s) appear in Play Mode in the Main Editor window. A separate window opens for each enabled player with the player name as the window title.
