NetworkVariable/Int/String etc

I'm just trying out Netcode for the first time and I'm struggling with network variables. I see references to NetworkVariableInt etc but can't declare them, have these been removed?

I was going to check the release notes but the link in the sticky is broken.

 

Sorry I thought I'd made this post in the Netcode sub-forum.

This thread contains a broken link to the latest release: https://forum.unity.com/threads/release-announcements.1105324/

The NetworkVariable page in the documentation gives an example using NetworkVariableInt: https://docs-multiplayer.unity3d.com/docs/basics/networkvariable

 

Hi, I just wanted to say that the documentation (as far as I can tell) is still outdated, and it makes working with MLAPI quite tough... Has there been change to use string network variables by the way ? "NetworkVariable<FixedString64>" doesn't seem to work anymore.

Thank you !

 

Having the documentation up to date and accurate should be a priority, it's been almost two months and this isn't the only page that needs correcting.

Try using FixedString64Bytes, I've been using that without any problems.

 

Thanks a lot ! One thing I missed was the need for the collections package...

 

Hello,

Even though the documentation about network variables exists, I still couldn't find the information about which types are valid.

If @cerestorm didn't make his comment I would never have found how to use FixedString64Bytes instead of string.

Could you maybe try and update it, because it's a fairly important information? Thanks!

 

It's worth bearing in mind since pre8 declaring string network variables has become more convoluted, this thread has more info https://forum.unity.com/threads/nullable-types-for-networklist-networkvariable.1269746/

 

And also please how do I convert from a regular int to a network variable of type int

 

Use .Value to read and write to a network variable.

It's useful to have the getter/setter access it that way directly.

Code (CSharp):

1. NetworkVariable<int> moveCost = new NetworkVariable<int>();
2. .
3. .
4. public int MoveCost { get => moveCost.Value; set => moveCost.Value = value; }
