Events

ConnectedEntityChangeOverride

Listening to this event overrides the default parenting behaviour, which just parents this object to any new connected entity.

It can be used to implement more advanced hierarchies than direct parent-to-child relationships. See CoherenceNode.

public event CoherenceSync.ConnectedEntityChangeHandler ConnectedEntityChangeOverride

Event Type

CoherenceSync.ConnectedEntityChangeHandler

DidSendConnectedEntity

This event is called after the entity has changed its parent and sent this update to other clients.

Listening to this event doesn't change any behaviour, but can be useful for reacting to changes in the connected entity for a simulated entity.

public event CoherenceSync.ConnectedEntitySentHandler DidSendConnectedEntity

Event Type

CoherenceSync.ConnectedEntitySentHandler

OnAuthorityRequested

Raised when other client requests an authority over this entity and the authorityTransferType is set to Request.

public event CoherenceSync.OnAuthorityRequestedHandler OnAuthorityRequested

Event Type
