    Does anyone know the quickest way to update all SyncVar values on a NetworkBehaviour?

    The Manual claims that syncVarDirtyBits contains the dirty mask when OnSerialize is called. Does this mean it contains all the bits that have been assigned to SyncVars or is it simply a reference to the currently dirty SyncVars?

    I'm a little confused about how I can use SetDirtyBit() if I don't know which SyncVar field is assigned to which bit in the mask.

    May be it works when you set the dirtyBit to int.MaxValue.

    In order to force a refresh of all values in a NetworkBehaviour. Say for instance if I was simulating on the client end and needed to revert those variables to whatever was present on the server.
