Enum GhostMode

The Current Ghost Mode of a Ghost, on any given client. Denotes replication and prediction rules.

Namespace: Unity.NetCode

Assembly: Unity.NetCode.dll

Syntax

public enum GhostMode

Fields

Name	Description
Interpolated	Interpolated Ghosts are lightweight, as they perform no simulation on the client. Instead, their values are interpolated (via SmoothingAction rules) from the latest few processed snapshots. From a timeline POV: Interpolated ghosts are behind the server.
OwnerPredicted	The ghost will be Predicted by the Ghost Owner (set via GhostOwner) and Interpolated by every other client.
Predicted	Predicted Ghosts are predicted by the clients. I.e. Their Unity.Entities.Simulate component is enabled during the execution of the PredictedSimulationSystemGroup, and Systems in the PredictedSimulationSystemGroup will execute on their entities. They'll also have the PredictedGhost. This prediction is both expensive and non-authoritative, however, it does allow predicted Ghosts to interact with physics more accurately, and it does align their timeline with the current client. Miss-predictions are handled by GhostPredictionSmoothing (example: DefaultTranslationSmoothingAction). From a timeline POV: Interpolated ghosts are behind the current client, and the server.
