Class NetworkWriter

General purpose serializer for UNET (for serializing data to byte arrays).

using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.Networking;

public class ExampleScript : MonoBehaviour

   // Converting this to a NetworkReader.

       // your message.

Vector3	value	The object to write.

Write(Vector4)

This writes a reference to an object, value, buffer or network message, together with a NetworkIdentity component to the stream.

using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.Networking;

public class ExampleScript : MonoBehaviour
{
   void Start()
   {
       short myMsgType = 444;
       NetworkWriter writer = new NetworkWriter();
       writer.StartMessage(myMsgType);
       writer.Write("test data");
       writer.FinishMessage();
   }
}

See NetworkWriter for another code example.

Declaration

public void Write(Vector4 value)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
Vector4	value	The object to write.

WriteBytesAndSize(Byte[], Int32)

This writes a 16-bit count and an array of bytes of that length to the stream.

Declaration

public void WriteBytesAndSize(byte[] buffer, int count)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
System.Byte[]	buffer	Array of bytes to write.
System.Int32	count	Number of bytes from the array to write.

WriteBytesFull(Byte[])

This writes a 16-bit count and an array of bytes of that size to the stream.

Note that this will be the full allocated size of the array. So if the array is partially filled with data to send - then you should be using WriteBytesAndSize instead.

Declaration

public void WriteBytesFull(byte[] buffer)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
System.Byte[]	buffer	Bytes to write.

WritePackedUInt32(UInt32)

This writes the 32-bit value to the stream using variable-length-encoding.

Declaration

public void WritePackedUInt32(uint value)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
System.UInt32	value	Value to write.

WritePackedUInt64(UInt64)

This writes the 64-bit value to the stream using variable-length-encoding.

Declaration

public void WritePackedUInt64(ulong value)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
System.UInt64	value	Value to write.
