Reset(Double, Double)

Resets the tick system to the given network time.

Declaration

public void Reset(double localTimeSec, double serverTimeSec)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
Double	localTimeSec	The local time in seconds.
Double	serverTimeSec	The server time in seconds.

UpdateTick(Double, Double)

Called after advancing the time system to run ticks based on the difference in time.

Declaration

public void UpdateTick(double localTimeSec, double serverTimeSec)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
Double	localTimeSec	The local time in seconds
Double	serverTimeSec	The server time in seconds
