public NetworkTime LocalTime { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
NetworkTime

TickRate

The TickRate of the tick system. This is used to decide how often a fixed network tick is run.

Declaration

public uint TickRate { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
uint

Methods

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

Events
