Tnet Synchronization

[dale.golby]

Hi I was hoping someone could help me out with syncing data across the network.
For the last couple of weeks I have been playing around with different ways of networking - Unity master server, photon cloud server, and now Tnet - with using the Unity Master Server I used OnSerializeNetworkView to stream out and read in Position/Rotation/and whole bunch of other variables across the network.

My Question is, does Tnet have a similar method to that using different naming conventions and have I just missed it along the way?

Any help in the matter would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
Dale.

TNet does this as well. It uses Remote Function Calls.

It involves sending a message on one end:

1. tno.Send("OnSyncPosition", Target.All, position.x, position.y);

and receiving it on another:

1. [RFC]
2. void OnSyncPosition(float x, float y)
3. {
4.     position.x = x;
5.     position.y = y;
6. }
7.  

There's a lot more control in what you can send, but it's set up easy enough to do communications without hassle.

Streams are always one-way, and TNet doesn't have them. RFCs are bi-directional. You can send them from any client you wish, and you can save them on the server so that when new players arrive, RFCs get sent to them automatically -- which makes RFCs far more flexible than streams.

Ahk then, I think I understand, I definitely have to play around with it more to get a better understanding that's for sure.
Thanks for the help
