Sync Types

All sync types (e.g., SyncVar, SyncList) are built on our network module system. Any limitations or features of NetworkModule apply to them as well.

This means you can create your own sync types or modules—SyncVars are just network modules, not magic. Anyone, including you, can build custom modules using the same system.

What to expect of Sync types

There are some default expected behaviour of anything called a "Sync"-anything.

  • Live syncing: Any change done now, will be pushed to all players

  • Buffering: When a new player joins mid-session (Late Join), they don't need to wait for the next change.

Of course bare in mind that there could be exceptions depending on the individual implementation.
