Resolved Unity Mirror - How to send array of serializable obj (not GameObject) by NetworkMessage

OBJECT is unsupported, that's why it's not working.


Hello guys.
When developing the game I found a problem with sending data through the connection.Send();

This is my NetworkMessage template:

Code (CSharp):

1. public class DataFetchResult : NetworkMessage
2. {
3.     public int fetchId;
4.     public DataFetchType type;
5.     public object fetchData;
6. }

In some place of DataFetcher, I have the List<> of Badges. After fetching all the data, I execute this function:

Code (CSharp):

1.         [Server]
2.     void ReturnMessage(int id, DataFetchType type, object message, NetworkConnection connection)
3.     {
4.         DataFetchResult result = new DataFetchResult
5.         {
6.             fetchId = id,
7.             type = type,
8.             fetchData = message
9.         };
10.  
11.         connection.Send(result);
12.     }

But when I execute the method below in OnReturnMessage function, it returns me System.Object instead of System.Badge[] (BEFORE EXECUTING FUNCTION ABOVE, I CAST LIST TO ARRAY, USING List<T>.ToArray() !).

Code (CSharp):

1. result.fetchData.GetType().ToString().

Does anyone know what can I do?

 

ever figure out how to get this to work?

 

Well fetchData was declared as an object type. So it makes total sense that GetType returns System.Object. @keola117 you will need to provide code and probably creat your own thread, but you might need to convert from object to whatever type you used.

 

yeah, i fixed it by converting complicated data into structs and then representing the segments into more simple chunks, example, PlayerResource(string name, enum type, int ammount){ if (type == enum.type){ stringenumToType = enum.type.ToString; }} then I pass the datatype through a playFab list contructor using 128bytestring and a intbyte. Yeah, I figured it out by myself but, even so, i like to just try googling things asap so i don't have to think hard. haha
