Why Pun demo dont use Service funcion

coco

hi all, We Alwalys Use Service function to connect the Host.
like this:

  void Update()
{
   if(peer!=null)
      peer.Service();
}

But Where is the "service" function in Pun demo.
THANK YOU!

Hi @coco,

Thank you for choosing Photon!

Good question.
PUN uses a special advanced Service internally. Take a look at PhotonHandler.Update().

coco

@JohnTube it's so kind of you!

coco

@JohnTube I'll trouble you again,Which way is better?

JohnTube

PUN's PhotonHandler is more advanced and can be customized.
In any case both ways use the same thing internally: sending outgoing messages and processing incoming ones.
We usually recommend calling Service 10 to 20 times a second. Doing so in Update will result in a call per frame which may be 30 or 60 or more per second which can eat more CPU or drain more battery on mobile.
More info about Service:

• Service() internally calls DispatchIncomingCommands() until it returns false to dispatch all received incoming messages into your game logic.
  
• Calling Service() also processes SendOutgoingCommands which actually sends operations that your client called since the last SendOutgoingCommands.
  
• Finally Service() triggers the callbacks OnEvent, OnOperationResponse, etc.
