Question How does LocalClientId work?

Hello,
I wanted to know how exactly does NetworkManager.Singleton.LocalClientId works. What is the number it represents?
For example, let's say I have 3 clients - 0,1,2. Client 1 dissconects. Does the local client id's update to - 0,1 - or stays - 0,2?
If another player joins will it be - 0,2,1 - or - 0,2,3?
Thank you!

 

Consider this to be a unique identifier of connected clients only, no more no less. Ids of connected clients never change.

If a client reconnects it could use any Id, possibly the next highest one but it may also be a formerly used Id that‘s been made available again. I think the docs mention this somewhere.

 

Thanks.
I want to check the order of the clients, but I can get the ConnectedClientIds only on server. Is there a way to check the order of the clients on each client? I am using the lobby service but it seems complicated to get the order through there.

 

Are you sure ConnectedClientList is server only? I don‘t think so but I can‘t say for sure.
As an alternative you could send a ClientRpc with a list of Ids whenever a client connects or disconnects.

 

It says so in the documentation.

I will probably use clientRPC. Thank you
