======server======= Server idle tree has single field to synchronize
Code gen creates a setter for the field
Within the setter, when the value is set, it creates a packet to update the value and submits it How does the code gen tool know how to convert the value? How does the code gen tool know how to submit it?
For enums, code gen tool creates a function in the behavior tree that converts values into shorts and attaches that value to the packet
The code gen tool is given a class name and method name for a method that will take a server packet and submit it over the network Specifically, the server function takes an entity and a behavior tree update packet
Once this packet is sent, it arrives on client
======client======= Client receives a behavior tree update packet
client sends this packet to a behavior tree synchronization manager
the manager finds the entity with the correct id
it then does a lookup against a table generated by the code gen tool the table points behavior tree id to class it gets the entity data string for the entity pointing to the behavior tree object once it finds this object, it updates the value in the object to be the new value
whole files generated:
- file containing the whole lookup function that takes behavior tree id number and a raw object, and returns the object cast as the correct class
functions generated:
- Within server behavior tree
- Setter that submits the packet
- Optionally, function to convert enum to short
- Within client behavior tree
- Optionally, function to convert short to enum
