Description

This object exists purely for instructional purposes. It is primarily geared toward developers that wish to understand the inner-working of Torque 3D’s networking system. This is not intended for actual game development.

Example:

// On the server, create a new SimpleNetObject.  This is a ghost always
// object so it will be immediately ghosted to all connected clients.
$s = newSimpleNetObject();

// All connected clients will see the following in their console:
//
// Got message: Hello World!

Methods

Sets the internal message variable. SimpleNetObject is set up to automatically transmit this new message to all connected clients. It will appear in the clients’ console.

Parameters:msg – The new message to send

Example:

// On the server, create a new SimpleNetObject.  This is a ghost always
// object so it will be immediately ghosted to all connected clients.
$s = newSimpleNetObject();

// All connected clients will see the following in their console:
//
// Got message: Hello World!
// Now again on the server, change the message.  This will cause it to
// be sent to all connected clients.
$s.setMessage("A new message from me!");

// All connected clients will now see in their console:
//
// Go message: A new message from me!
