Struct GhostSpawnBuffer

The GhostSpawnBuffer is the data for a GhostSpawnQueue singleton. It contains a list of ghosts which will be spawned by the GhostSpawnSystem at the beginning of next frame. It is populated by the GhostReceiveSystem and there needs to be a classification system updating after the GhostReceiveSystem which sets the SpawnType so the spawn system knows how to spawn the ghost. A classification system should only modify the SpawnType and PredictedSpawnEntity fields of this struct. InternalBufferCapacity allocated to almost max out chunk memory.

Fields

DataOffset

Offset im bytes used to retrieve from the temporary SnapshotDataBuffer, present on the GhostSpawnQueue singleton, the first received snapshot from the server.

Declaration

public int DataOffset

Field Value

Type	Description
int

DynamicDataSize

The size of the initial dynamic buffers data associated with the entity.

Declaration

public uint DynamicDataSize

Field Value

Type	Description
uint

GhostID

The ghost id that will be assigned to the new ghost instance.

Declaration

public int GhostID

Field Value

Type	Description
int

GhostType

The index of the ghost type in the GhostCollectionPrefab collection. Used to classify the ghost (GhostSpawnClassificationSystem).

Declaration

public int GhostType

Field Value

Type	Description
int

PredictedSpawnEntity

Entity reference assigned by a classification system, when a predicted spawned entity for a newly received ghost is found. When assigning this HasClassifiedPredictedSpawn should also be set to true. If the referenced entity is different than Unity.Entities.Entity.Null the ghost type must be set to Predicted.

Declaration

public Entity PredictedSpawnEntity

Field Value

Type	Description
Entity

ServerSpawnTick

The tick this ghost was spawned on the server. For any predicted spawning this is the tick that should match since you are interested in when the server spawned the ghost, not when the server first sent the ghost to the client. Using this also means you are not considering ghosts becoming relevant as spawning.

Declaration

public NetworkTick ServerSpawnTick

Field Value

Type	Description
NetworkTick

SpawnType

The type of ghost to spawn. Based on the spawn type, some components may be enable/disabled or removed from the instantiated ghost.

Declaration

public GhostSpawnBuffer.Type SpawnType

Field Value

Type	Description
GhostSpawnBuffer.Type

Properties

HasClassifiedPredictedSpawn

Should be set to true when a ghost classification system has processed this particular ghost spawn instance. It will then not be processed again in a system running later in the frame (like the default classification system).

Declaration

public bool HasClassifiedPredictedSpawn { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
bool
