public static method Connect(hostId: int, address: string, port: int, exeptionConnectionId: int, out error: byte): int;
public static int Connect(int hostId, string address, int port, int exeptionConnectionId, out byte error);

Parameters

hostId Host ID associated with this connection (retrieved when calling NetworkTransport.AddHost).
address IPv4 address of the other peer.
port Port of the other peer.
exceptionConnectionId Set to 0 in the case of a default connection.
error Error (can be cast to NetworkError for more information).

Returns

int A unique connection identifier on success (otherwise zero).

Description

Tries to establish a connection to another peer.

The error parameter will return a non-zero value if an error occurs, this value can be cast to a NetworkError for more information.

NetworkTransport.Connect can still fail despite returning a non-zero connection id, so make sure to poll NetworkTransport.Receive or NetworkTransport.ReceiveFromHost to listen for events. If everything is OK a NetworkEventType.ConnectEvent will be returned.
