If you are updating an existing Motive project, you need to make sure that all World Object Behaviours (Scene Objects, Anchors, etc.) are configured with a Network Identity. The Network Identity needs a consistent SceneId across all builds. In new projects, Network Identities are added automatically. For existing projects, you will need to work through this process to update the project to use Liveplay.

You can add Network Identities using the Liveplay menu. Repeat this process for every spawnable prefab and scene.

Note that this step is only required for existing projects--Network Identity will be added automatically to new world objects.

  1. Update all prefabs used by Asset Bundles

    1. Open the Liveplay window (Motive > Liveplay)

    2. Open each prefab your project will use

    3. Select “Add Missing Network Identities”

  2. Update scenes using the same process

Make sure to do the steps in this order so that prefabs in Asset Bundles get their own Network Identities.
