Fields

GhostTypeToColletionIndex

The index in the GhostCollectionPrefab list for given GhostType.

Declaration

Declaration

public bool IsInGame

Field Value

Type	Description
bool

NumLoadedPrefabs

The number of prefabs that have been loaded into the GhostCollectionPrefab collection. Use to determine which ghosts types the server can stream to the clients.

The server reports (to the client) the list of loaded prefabs (with their see GhostTypeComponent guid) as part of the snapshot protocol. The list is dynamic; new prefabs can be added/loaded at runtime (on the server), and the new ones will be reported to the client.

Clients report (to the server) the number of loaded prefabs, as part of the command protocol. When the client receives a ghost snapshot, the ghost prefab list is processed, and the GhostCollectionPrefab collection is updated with any new ghost types not already present in the collection.

The client does not need to have loaded ALL prefab types in the GhostCollectionPrefab to initialize the world. I.e. They can be loaded/added dynamically into the world (i.e when streaming a sub-scene), and the Loading state should be used in that case (to inform the GhostCollection that the specified prefabs are currently being loaded into the world).

Declaration

public int NumLoadedPrefabs

Field Value

Type	Description
int

PendingGhostPrefabAssignment

The index in the GhostCollectionPrefab list where the prefab with the given GhostType. It is populated by the GhostReceiveSystem when new prefabs hash are received from the server and it used to track what prefabs need to be mapped/loaded.

Declaration

public NativeHashMap<GhostType, int> PendingGhostPrefabAssignment

Field Value

Type	Description
NativeHashMap<GhostType, int>

Remarks

Should be used only by the client. For server the map is always empty. It also contains a special key for the default(GhostType) that indicate if the list has been changed since the last time has been processed.
