How do I access UnityEngine.Networking?
I'm trying to access the NetworkIdentity class, but I'm having trouble getting to it. I can't assign it in the editor because it doesn't come up when I search it. I can't assign it in code, since intellisense doesn't auto-complete it when I try to use UnityEngine.Networking (manually typing it in also results in a "namespace not found" error).
I'm currently using Unity 5.0.1f. I was under the impression that this system was actually implemented specifically for Unity 5, but has it already been filtered out?

It was introduced in Unity 5.1, as confirmed via a trivial web search: https://unity3d.com/unity/whats-new/unity-5.1
Thanks for the help. I was going off of this video which never describes the networking features only being in 5.1, so I wouldn't have guessed it was introduced directly after 5.0 ins$$anonymous$$d.
Unlike some software packages which only introduce new features in "major" releases, Unity routinely introduce substantial (and sometimes breaking) changes even in "point" releases.
So, install the latest version before starting a new development, and also exercise caution before upgrading mid-project :)
