This rule may be used to improve performance in multiplayer Experiences.
This rule allows you to send a message:
from the server, including messages from [MP] behaviours and components
to the client, including [SP] behaviours and components
MULTIPLAYER BASICS In multiplayer Experiences, information is managed in two "layers":
Server (synchronised)
player and object movements and collisions
spawned objects
variable data
quest data
interactive logic that must communicate with any of these
Client (local)
stationary objects and their collisions
logic that can be managed off of the server for better performance
interactive logic that must communicate with any of these
Experiences play more smoothly when the server needs to manage less information.
This rule may be used to design more efficient Experiences. It may also allow for more game mechanics and/or assets to be added. Always test thoroughly.
