Syntax

public class AutomaticThinClientWorldsUtility

Fields

BootstrapInitialization

If your automatic thin clients need custom initialization during bootstrap (e.g. due to custom scene management settings), modify this delegate. Uses DefaultBootstrapThinClientWorldInitialization(World) by default. Set to null to disable the bootstrap initialization feature.

Declaration

public static AutomaticThinClientWorldsUtility.ThinClientWorldInitializationDelegate BootstrapInitialization

Field Value

Type	Description
AutomaticThinClientWorldsUtility.ThinClientWorldInitializationDelegate

CreationFrequency

The frequency with which we should create the thin client worlds (in hertz i.e. worlds per second). 0 denotes 'create all immediately'. If null (the default), it'll use ThinClientCreationFrequency in the editor, else 0.

Declaration

public static float? CreationFrequency

Field Value

Type	Description
float?

NumThinClientsRequested

Set the desired number of thin client worlds.

Declaration

public static int? NumThinClientsRequested

Field Value

Type	Description
int?

Remarks

If null (the default), it'll use RequestedNumThinClients in the editor, else 0. Worlds are only created in builds if you hook up UpdateAutomaticThinClientWorlds().

ReferenceWorld

The world to use for data injection (like to know which sub-scene(s) to load). If null, we'll try to use any existing client or server worlds, found via ClientWorld etc.

Declaration

public static World ReferenceWorld

Field Value

Type	Description
World

RuntimeInitialization

If your automatic thin clients need custom initialization at runtime (e.g. due to custom scene management settings), modify this delegate. Uses DefaultRuntimeThinClientWorldInitialization(World) by default. Set to null to disable the runtime initialization feature.

Declaration

public static AutomaticThinClientWorldsUtility.ThinClientWorldInitializationDelegate RuntimeInitialization

Field Value

Type	Description
AutomaticThinClientWorldsUtility.ThinClientWorldInitializationDelegate

Properties

AutomaticallyManagedWorlds

A list of all thin client worlds created by (and managed by) the netcode package itself. If you add a thin client to this list, netcode will take ownership of it. This list prevents the netcode package from deleting your thin client worlds.

Declaration

public static List<World> AutomaticallyManagedWorlds { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
List<World>

IsBootstrapInitializationEnabled

Denotes if automatic bootstrap thin client creation is enabled.

Declaration

public static bool IsBootstrapInitializationEnabled { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
bool

IsRuntimeInitializationEnabled

Denotes if automatic RUNTIME thin client creation is enabled.

Declaration

public static bool IsRuntimeInitializationEnabled { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
bool

Methods

BootstrapThinClientWorlds()

Use this method when inside the Initialize(string) flow.

Declaration

public static void BootstrapThinClientWorlds()

Remarks

This has to exist because Entities/Netcode uses a fast-path, where it loads the entity scene data (for all loaded scenes) once, and then auto-injects said data into all appropriate bootstrapping worlds.

CleanupWorlds()

Utility to remove all stale worlds from the list.

Declaration

public static int CleanupWorlds()

Returns

Type	Description
int	Num removed.

DefaultBootstrapThinClientWorldInitialization(World)

By default, thin clients created during the bootstrap will automatically be injected with the loaded scenes sub-scenes. Thus, we do not need to do anything custom.

Declaration

public static World DefaultBootstrapThinClientWorldInitialization(World referenceWorld)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
World	referenceWorld	The world to reference when creating this one (for the purposes of scene loading etc.).

Returns

Type	Description
World	The newly created world, otherwise null.

DefaultRuntimeThinClientWorldInitialization(World)

Declaration

public static World DefaultRuntimeThinClientWorldInitialization(World referenceWorld)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
World	referenceWorld	The world to reference when creating this one (for the purposes of scene loading etc.).

Returns

Type	Description
World	The newly created world, otherwise null.

UpdateAutomaticThinClientWorlds()

If you use this feature, call this method in a UnityEngine.MonoBehaviour Update method. It'll apply the current configured values.

Declaration

public static bool UpdateAutomaticThinClientWorlds()

Returns

Type	Description
bool	True if any worlds were created or destroyed.

UpdateAutomaticThinClientWorldsImmediate(World, int, int, out bool)

Creates and/or Disposes thin client worlds until the final count is equal to targetThinClientCount.

Declaration

public static NativeList<WorldUnmanaged> UpdateAutomaticThinClientWorldsImmediate(World referenceWorld, int targetThinClientCount, int maxAllowedSpawn, out bool didCreateOrDestroy)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
World	referenceWorld	The desired world to use as a reference. If null, we'll try to use any existing client or server worlds.
int	targetThinClientCount	The desired final count of thin clients.
int	maxAllowedSpawn	Rate limiting feature. Worlds are disposed immediately, but only instantiated at this frequency.
bool	didCreateOrDestroy	True if worlds were created or destroyed.

Returns

Type	Description
NativeList<WorldUnmanaged>	The list of successfully created worlds, otherwise default.
