MonoBehaviour.OnSerializeNetworkView(BitStream,NetworkMessageInfo)

Description

Used to customize synchronization of variables in a script watched by a network view.

It is automatically determined if the variables being serialized should be sent or received, see example below for a better description. This depends on who owns the object, i.e. the owner sends and all others receive.

// This objects health information

var currentHealth : int = 0;

function OnSerializeNetworkView(stream : BitStream, info : NetworkMessageInfo) {
    if (stream.isWriting) {
        var healthC : int = currentHealth;
        stream.Serialize(healthC);
    } else {
        var healthZ : int = 0;
        stream.Serialize(healthZ);
        currentHealth = healthZ;
    }
}

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class ExampleClass : MonoBehaviour {
    public int currentHealth = 0;
    void OnSerializeNetworkView(BitStream stream, NetworkMessageInfo info) {
        if (stream.isWriting) {
            int healthC = currentHealth;
            stream.Serialize(ref healthC);
        } else {
            int healthZ = 0;
            stream.Serialize(ref healthZ);
            currentHealth = healthZ;
        }
    }
