Class NetworkVariableSerializationTypes

This class contains initialization functions for various different types used in NetworkVariables. Generally speaking, these methods are called by a module initializer created by codegen (NetworkBehaviourILPP) and do not need to be called manually.

There are two types of initializers: Serializers and EqualityCheckers. Every type must have an EqualityChecker registered to it in order to be used in NetworkVariable; however, not all types need a Serializer. Types without a serializer registered will fall back to using the delegates in UserNetworkVariableSerialization<T>. If no such delegate has been registered, a type without a serializer will throw an exception on the first attempt to serialize or deserialize it. (Again, however, codegen handles this automatically and this registration doesn't typically need to be performed manually.)

    where T : class

Type Parameters

Name	Description
T

InitializeEqualityChecker_ManagedIEquatable<T>()

Registers a managed type that will be checked for equality using T.Equals()

Declaration

Type Parameters

Name	Description
T

InitializeEqualityChecker_UnmanagedValueEquals<T>()
