Networking Missing NetworkReader.ReadFloat?

NetworkWriter has a Write(double value) and Write(float value), but NetworkReader only has ReadDouble() and not a ReadFloat(). Is this intentional or just missing?

Also are there any examples or guides on using OnSeralize and OnDeserialize? I'm ok to wait for release build documentation though. I'm kind of finding my way though this slowly slowly .

Thanks

 

.ReadSingle()

 

Many thanks

As some feedback if any Unity guys are looking. It might be worth considering matching the terminology on both sides? The description of ReadSingle() is

so why not just make it ReadFloat()?

Not too fussed myself now that I know, but I bet others will also use WriteFloat() and look for ReadFloat().

 

This is by convention on the .Net framework.

As you probably know, .Net and thus Mono are meant to support many languages even if C# is the common one.
On many languages, "float" doesn't exist per say. It's a C like terminology that is used in some languages such as C#.

As so, when Microsoft worked on the framework, they decided to find some terminology that would work on all cases, thus the types Single and Double that represent respectively Single and Double precision floating numbers.

The Unity team simply used the conventions as they actually are reading Single type values. Doing so, they keep to the convention and assure to support other .Net languages in the future.

Hope it clears things a bit.

 

It does, thanks.
Makes sense now
