Hello friends, I am creating a game that will have 5 people in a room, where they played a race. I came across a problem, when the host leaves, it ends the game before it finishes. Would it be like when the host leaves, transfer the role of host to a peer? if any, could you give me some tutorial?

It is called host migration, and it is not a built-in feature of the multiplayer plugin. I do not know if it is technically possible even.

Theoretically the peers will need to elect a new host who then rebuilds the game state from their own version of the game. First you will need a method for the peers to find each other again after the host leaves. You will also need to keep sufficient data on each peer to recreate an authoritative game state.
