NetworkedObject

In a scene, each GameObject is assiotiated to a connected client. When many players join a scene, all GameObjects are distributed to them and redistributed if a player joins or leaves.

To share a GameObject, append a NetworkedObject behaviour to it. You can share variables, events or spawners in your own behaviours after that.

Associated

If you check Associated, objects will be duplicated on each client and each client will always manages its objects. (typically used on player character)

A copy of this GameObject is created on Awake

Shared

If you check Shared, all clients variables will be shared. (typically used on a button). This mode looks like NetGlobal (with the same API).

using UnityEngine;
using EODE.Wonderland.SimpleNet;

public class SharedButton : MonoBehaviour {
    public Renderer Renderer;
    public Material MatOff;
    public Material MatOn;

    NetVar<bool> _on;

    void Start() {
        _on = this.NetVar<bool>();

        _on.OnUpdate += on => {
            Debug.Log("Shared = "+string.Join(", ", _on.Values));

            var active = _on.Values.FirstOrNull(kv => kv.Value);
            
            if (active.HasValue) Renderer.material = MatOn;
            else Renderer.material = MatOff;
        };
    }

    void OnTriggerEnter(Collider collider) {
        if (collider.GetComponent<NetworkedObject>().IsActive) {
            _on.Value = true;
        }
    }

    void OnTriggerExit(Collider collider) {
        if (collider.GetComponent<NetworkedObject>().IsActive) {
            _on.Value = false;
        }
    }
}

Shared is compatible with Event and Action variable Unlike Globals, Clients does not emit values in Host mode. Server side, Values = [-1: value], all clients receive [serverId: value].

Simulate

You can simulate an online clone (in editor). You can configure Latency, change object layer and do something on the clone like this code:

#if UNITY_EDITOR
    // networked
    var netobj = GetComponent<NetworkedObject>();
    netobj._Editor_OnTestCloneEnabled += go => {
        go.GetComponent<SpriteRenderer>().color = Color.blue;
    };
#endif

Status

• IsNetworked: The scene is online (linked to a host server or 2 players in a P2P server)
• IsEmitter: True if this object is managed by the client
• IsActive (client): !IsNetworked || IsEmitter
• IsClone: Clone of an Associated object
• IsActive (Host server): Adds Clone objects. Required to trigger events.
