Overview

Base class for high-level multiplayer API implementations. See also graphics.gd/classdb/MultiplayerPeer.

By default, graphics.gd/classdb/SceneTree has a reference to an implementation of this class and uses it to provide multiplayer capabilities (i.e. RPCs) across the whole scene.

It is possible to override the MultiplayerAPI instance used by specific tree branches by calling the graphics.gd/classdb/SceneTree.Instance.SetMultiplayer method, effectively allowing to run both client and server in the same scene.

It is also possible to extend or replace the default implementation via scripting or native extensions. See graphics.gd/classdb/MultiplayerAPIExtension for details about extensions, graphics.gd/classdb/SceneMultiplayer for the details about the default implementation.

Functions

func GetDefaultInterface 

func GetDefaultInterface() string

Returns the default MultiplayerAPI implementation class name. This is usually "SceneMultiplayer" when graphics.gd/classdb/SceneMultiplayer is available. See SetDefaultInterface.

func SetDefaultInterface 

func SetDefaultInterface(interface_name string)

Sets the default MultiplayerAPI implementation class. This method can be used by modules and extensions to configure which implementation will be used by graphics.gd/classdb/SceneTree when the engine starts.

Types

type Advanced 

type Advanced = class

Advanced exposes a 1:1 low-level instance of the class, undocumented, for those who know what they are doing.

type Any 

type Any interface {
	gd.IsClass
	AsMultiplayerAPI() Instance
}

type Expanded 

type Expanded [1]gdclass.MultiplayerAPI

func (Expanded) Rpc 

func (self Expanded) Rpc(peer int, obj Object.Instance, method string, arguments []any) error

Sends an RPC to the target 'peer'. The given 'method' will be called on the remote 'object' with the provided 'arguments'. The RPC may also be called locally depending on the implementation and RPC configuration. See graphics.gd/classdb/Node.Instance.Rpc and graphics.gd/classdb/Node.Instance.RpcConfig.

Note: Prefer using graphics.gd/classdb/Node.Instance.Rpc, graphics.gd/classdb/Node.Instance.RpcId, or my_method.rpc(peer, arg1, arg2, ...) (in GDScript), since they are faster. This method is mostly useful in conjunction with graphics.gd/classdb/MultiplayerAPIExtension when extending or replacing the multiplayer capabilities.

type Extension 

type Extension[T gdclass.Interface] struct{ gdclass.Extension[T, Instance] }

Extension can be embedded in a new struct to create an extension of this class. T should be the type that is embedding this Extension

func (*Extension[T]) AsMultiplayerAPI 

func (self *Extension[T]) AsMultiplayerAPI() Instance

func (*Extension[T]) AsObject 

func (self *Extension[T]) AsObject() [1]gd.Object

func (*Extension[T]) AsRefCounted 

func (self *Extension[T]) AsRefCounted() [1]gd.RefCounted

type ID 

type ID Object.ID

ID is a typed object ID (reference) to an instance of this class, use it to store references to objects with unknown lifetimes, as an ID will not panic on use if the underlying object has been destroyed.

func (ID) Instance 

func (id ID) Instance() (Instance, bool)

type Instance 

type Instance [1]gdclass.MultiplayerAPI

Instance of the class with convieniently typed arguments and results. 

var Nil Instance

Nil is a nil/null instance of the class. Equivalent to the zero value.

func CreateDefaultInterface 

func CreateDefaultInterface() Instance

Returns a new instance of the default MultiplayerAPI.

func New 

func New() Instance

func (Instance) AsMultiplayerAPI 

func (self Instance) AsMultiplayerAPI() Instance

func (Instance) AsObject 

func (self Instance) AsObject() [1]gd.Object

func (Instance) AsRefCounted 

func (self Instance) AsRefCounted() [1]gd.RefCounted

func (Instance) GetPeers 

func (self Instance) GetPeers() []int32

Returns the peer IDs of all connected peers of this MultiplayerAPI's Instance.MultiplayerPeer.

func (Instance) GetRemoteSenderId 

func (self Instance) GetRemoteSenderId() int

Returns the sender's peer ID for the RPC currently being executed.

Note: This method returns 0 when called outside of an RPC. As such, the original peer ID may be lost when code execution is delayed (such as with GDScript's await keyword).

func (Instance) GetUniqueId 

func (self Instance) GetUniqueId() int

Returns the unique peer ID of this MultiplayerAPI's Instance.MultiplayerPeer.

func (Instance) HasMultiplayerPeer 

func (self Instance) HasMultiplayerPeer() bool

Returns true if there is a Instance.MultiplayerPeer set.

func (Instance) ID 

func (self Instance) ID() ID

func (Instance) IsServer 

func (self Instance) IsServer() bool

Returns true if this MultiplayerAPI's Instance.MultiplayerPeer is valid and in server mode (listening for connections).

func (Instance) MultiplayerPeer 

func (self Instance) MultiplayerPeer() MultiplayerPeer.Instance

func (Instance) ObjectConfigurationAdd 

func (self Instance) ObjectConfigurationAdd(obj Object.Instance, configuration any) error

Notifies the MultiplayerAPI of a new 'configuration' for the given 'object'. This method is used internally by graphics.gd/classdb/SceneTree to configure the root path for this MultiplayerAPI (passing null and a valid node path as 'configuration'). This method can be further used by MultiplayerAPI implementations to provide additional features, refer to specific implementation (e.g. graphics.gd/classdb/SceneMultiplayer) for details on how they use it.

Note: This method is mostly relevant when extending or overriding the MultiplayerAPI behavior via graphics.gd/classdb/MultiplayerAPIExtension.

func (Instance) ObjectConfigurationRemove 

func (self Instance) ObjectConfigurationRemove(obj Object.Instance, configuration any) error

Notifies the MultiplayerAPI to remove a 'configuration' for the given 'object'. This method is used internally by graphics.gd/classdb/SceneTree to configure the root path for this MultiplayerAPI (passing null and an empty node path as 'configuration'). This method can be further used by MultiplayerAPI implementations to provide additional features, refer to specific implementation (e.g. graphics.gd/classdb/SceneMultiplayer) for details on how they use it.

Note: This method is mostly relevant when extending or overriding the MultiplayerAPI behavior via graphics.gd/classdb/MultiplayerAPIExtension.

func (Instance) OnConnectedToServer 

func (self Instance) OnConnectedToServer(cb func(), flags ...Signal.Flags)

func (Instance) OnConnectionFailed 

func (self Instance) OnConnectionFailed(cb func(), flags ...Signal.Flags)

func (Instance) OnPeerConnected 

func (self Instance) OnPeerConnected(cb func(id int), flags ...Signal.Flags)

func (Instance) OnPeerDisconnected 

func (self Instance) OnPeerDisconnected(cb func(id int), flags ...Signal.Flags)

func (Instance) OnServerDisconnected 

func (self Instance) OnServerDisconnected(cb func(), flags ...Signal.Flags)

func (Instance) Poll 

func (self Instance) Poll() error

Method used for polling the MultiplayerAPI. You only need to worry about this if you set graphics.gd/classdb/SceneTree.Instance.MultiplayerPoll to false. By default, graphics.gd/classdb/SceneTree will poll its MultiplayerAPI(s) for you.

Note: This method results in RPCs being called, so they will be executed in the same context of this function (e.g. _process, physics, graphics.gd/classdb/Thread).

func (Instance) Rpc 

func (self Instance) Rpc(peer int, obj Object.Instance, method string) error

Sends an RPC to the target 'peer'. The given 'method' will be called on the remote 'object' with the provided 'arguments'. The RPC may also be called locally depending on the implementation and RPC configuration. See graphics.gd/classdb/Node.Instance.Rpc and graphics.gd/classdb/Node.Instance.RpcConfig.

Note: Prefer using graphics.gd/classdb/Node.Instance.Rpc, graphics.gd/classdb/Node.Instance.RpcId, or my_method.rpc(peer, arg1, arg2, ...) (in GDScript), since they are faster. This method is mostly useful in conjunction with graphics.gd/classdb/MultiplayerAPIExtension when extending or replacing the multiplayer capabilities.

func (Instance) SetMultiplayerPeer 

func (self Instance) SetMultiplayerPeer(value MultiplayerPeer.Instance)

func (*Instance) SetObject 

func (self *Instance) SetObject(obj [1]gd.Object) bool

func (Instance) Virtual

type RPCMode 

type RPCMode int //gd:MultiplayerAPI.RPCMode

const (
	// Used with [graphics.gd/classdb/Node.Instance.RpcConfig] to disable a method or property for all RPC calls, making it unavailable. Default for all methods.
	RpcModeDisabled RPCMode = 0
	// Used with [graphics.gd/classdb/Node.Instance.RpcConfig] to set a method to be callable remotely by any peer. Analogous to the @rpc("any_peer") annotation. Calls are accepted from all remote peers, no matter if they are node's authority or not.
	RpcModeAnyPeer RPCMode = 1
	// Used with [graphics.gd/classdb/Node.Instance.RpcConfig] to set a method to be callable remotely only by the current multiplayer authority (which is the server by default). Analogous to the @rpc("authority") annotation. See [graphics.gd/classdb/Node.Instance.SetMultiplayerAuthority].
	RpcModeAuthority RPCMode = 2
)
