Question Long string

Hello,
I noticed that in order to make a string network variable I need to ude fixed string. I am planning to use very long strings in my game and the longest fixed string I found was 4096 bytes. Is there a longer fixed string or another solution?

 

Can you use

NativeText

? There's a reason the largest stack allocated strings are 4096 bytes -- going much above that carelessly and you start approaching stack overflow and performance degradation issues.

UPDATE:
I see now, referencing this part in the documentation: https://docs-multiplayer.unity3d.co...nced-topics/serialization/serialization-intro.

Can you use just the primitive

System.String

(

string

) type? Or you can add your own serialization logic: https://docs-multiplayer.unity3d.com/netcode/current/advanced-topics/custom-serialization

 

Yeah I would go for custom serialization of the type and maybe also add packing the data. If it's a Json string for example then packing (zipping) it will save a lot of traffic.
