Feature Request: Toggling managed worker in local launch

Hey @No3371, sorry for the delayed response.

From what you've described it seems as if the manual_worker_connection_only option in the load balancing config does what you are looking for?

If this flag is set to true, it will signal the runtime not to start the workers itself and instead wait for you to start and connect them.

You can find an example in https://github.com/spatialos/gdk-for-unity/blob/master/default_launch.json#L37

Toggling this shouldn't require you to regenerate code, but only restart the deployment.

OK, thanks for the info!
I've made a lot of issues 🤦 So I'm gonna just ask another question here: Is it possible to replace a managed worker with one running inside Unity Editor?

Is it possible to replace a managed worker with one running inside Unity Editor?

You can use the spatial CLI to 'replace' a worker running in the cloud - https://documentation.improbable.io/spatialos-tools/docs/cli-reference#section-spatial-project-deployment-worker-replace 😄

Thanks! I thought that command is starting a new process, didn't notice it's swapping 2 connected workers.
