Usr 441210e3-2112-4633-ba60-16229c154dc9: basic information on Udon Behaviour Synchronization modes, and the performance impact of them

basic information on Udon Behaviour Synchronization modes, and the performance impact of them

New page

'''Synchronization''' is a component of all Udon Behaviours that controls how data is sent over the network to other players. The type of synchronization can be changed with a drop down menu on the Udon Behaviour.

Synchronization has three modes:

* '''Continuous'''
Continuous mode should be used for small, frequently update values, such as the position of a moving object. This mode only takes the latest value stored in the object, and may skip over older values in order to get the newest ones.

* '''Manual'''
Manual mode should be used for infrequently updated, important values, such as the score in a game. It will not skip over values like Continuous mode does.

* '''None'''
None prevents an Udon Behaviour from interacting with anything over the network.

== Performance ==
Using any synchronization mode except '''None''' has a performance impact on worlds. This is because the world has to continuously check to see if the values inside the Udon Behaviour have changed. Even if the Udon Behaviour has no stored values in it, the world will still continuously use resources to check it. Set all synchronization modes in your Udon Behaviours to '''None''', if they are not using network functions, in order to prevent this and lower the performance cost of running your world.
