RPC Params

Both ServerRpc and ClientRpc methods can be configured either by [ServerRpc] and [ClientRpc] attributes at compile-time and ServerRpcParams and ClientRpcParams at runtime.

Developers can put ServerRpcParams and ClientRpcParams as the last parameter (optionally). They can also be used for a consolidated space for XXXRpcReceiveParams and XXXRpcSendParams.

The network framework will inject the corresponding XXXRpcReceiveParams to what the user had declared in code when invoked by network receive handling (framework code) and will consume XXXRpcSendParams when invoked by RPC send call (user code).

ServerRpc Params

See the following for ServerRpc params:

// Both ServerRpc methods below are fine, `ServerRpcParams` is completely optional

[ServerRpc]
void AbcdServerRpc(int somenumber) { /* ... */ }

[ServerRpc]
void XyzwServerRpc(int somenumber, ServerRpcParams serverRpcParams = default) { /* ... */ }

ClientRpc Params

See the following for ClientRpc params:

// Both ClientRpc methods below are fine, `ClientRpcParams` is completely optional

[ClientRpc]
void AbcdClientRpc(int framekey) { /* ... */ }

[ClientRpc]
void XyzwClientRpc(int framekey, ClientRpcParams clientRpcParams = default) { /* ... */ }

tip

ClientRpcSendParams's TargetClientIds property is a ulong[] which means everytime you try to specify a subset of target clients or even a single client target, you will have to allocate a new ulong[]. This pattern can quickly lead into lots of heap allocations and pressure GC which would cause GC spikes at runtime. We suggest developers cache their ulong[] variables or use an array pool to cycle ulong[] instances so that it would cause less heap allocations.
