ClientManager
The ClientManager provides settings unique to clients.
Description
The ClientManager is FishNet's primary orchestrator for client-side networking, managing connections, state, event handling, and all data flow between the local client and the server.
It maintains a reference to the network connection of the local client, Connection, keeps track of all known networked objects on the client through ClientObjects, as well as optionally tracks all currently connected clients (when server ID sharing is enabled), using a dictionary of client connections. The ClientManager also has many useful events, such as when a client is authenticated and when the local client or a remote client changes their network state. It also is used for sending broadcasts to the server.
When enabled, this component will also timeout the client from the server if the server doesn't respond after a set time.
Check out its API page for more specific methods and events here.
Settings
⚙️ Remote Server Timeout
This decides if the client should disconnect when the server seems unresponsive. This feature can be set to disabled, work in development and releases, or only releases.
Timeout is how long the server must be unresponsive before they are kicked.
⚙️ Change Frame Rate
While enabled, this will change the frame rate limitation when acting as client only.
Frame Rate is the frame rate to use while only the client is active. There is also a setting for client frame rate on the ServerManager. When both client and server are active the higher of the two frame rates will be used.
