Your game or game server usually runs a server console instance. You can then use a client console remotely from either the Unity Editor or standalone app to connect to it. Any relevant command submitted to the client console is automatically forwarded to the server console! Multiple client consoles can be connected to a server console simultaniously.This asset includes a client console editor window, and there is also a standalone console client freely available on Github. You can distribute the standalone client to players that want to manage their game servers remotely for example.Sample sceneA sample FPS game is included that showcases a range of commands you could use and a Unity UI implementation of a console interface.Third-party NoticeThis asset uses LiteNetLib under MIT License and the Roboto Mono font under Apache 2.0 License; see Third-Party Notices.txt file in package for details.The in-game console UI requires the TextMeshPro packageNetworked console communication makes use of reliable UDP network transport provided by LiteNetLib
