Rem Send

A Remote Procedure Call framework for Godot C# using source generators.

Features

• Call source-generated RPCs with static typing and optimal performance.
• Request and return values from RPCs.
• Send variant-incompatible values with MemoryPack.
• Extra access enum (peer -> authority).
• Fully compatible with async / Tasks.
• Created for use in a real MMORPG.

Setup

1. Install RemSend through NuGet.
2. Connect RemSend to your MultiplayerApi by using the following code:

RemSendService.Setup((SceneMultiplayer)Multiplayer, GetTree().Root);

Examples

Sending a method call to a remote peer:

[Rem(RemAccess.Any)] public void SayWords(List<string> Words) { foreach (string Word in Words) { GD.Print(Word); } } // Send SayWords to authority SendSayWords(1, ["cat", "dog"]); // Broadcast SayWords to all peers BroadcastSayWords(["cat", "dog"]);

Requesting a result from a peer:

[Rem(RemAccess.PeerToAuthority)] public int GetNumber() { return 5; } // Send GetNumber to authority and await result for up to 10 seconds int Number = await RequestGetNumber(1, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10));

Getting the remote sender's peer ID:

[Rem(RemAccess.Any)] public void RemoteHug([Sender] int SenderId) { if (SenderId == 1) { GD.Print("Thank you authority."); } else if (SenderId == Multiplayer.GetUniqueId()) { GD.Print("*depression*"); } else { GD.Print("Thank you random peer."); } } // Send RemoteHug to authority SendRemoteHug(1);

Notes

• Since RemSend uses SceneMultiplayer.SendBytes and SceneMultiplayer.PeerPacket, using them with RemSend is not recommended. However, you can still use RPCs.
• RemSend does not support GDScript or C++. It can only be used with C#. Other languages can use RPCs instead.

Special Thanks

• GodotSharp.SourceGenerators for help with source generation for members with attributes.
