Can anyone give me an example of how to Serialize a Custom Data Type?

Camek

I have learned c# through Unity and thus have not had any experience with serialization. I'm trying to serialize a basic class to get a feel for how to do this.

The class that I am trying to serialize is called BaseMovement and is just two Vector2s.

The first Vector2 is called CurrentPosition and the second is called Desired Position. I would like to serialize this class and send it over the network. I realize that Vector2s themselves are supported but in this scenario I'm just trying to learn how to do this for the future so I can send more complicated classes. Can someone provide me with an example of how I would go about serializing this class so I can get a better of idea of how this is done?

Thank you!

This is an example from my previous project,
it's here to help you see how I've made it. Hopefully it can help you

using System;
using ExitGames.Client.Photon;
using UnityEngine;

public class Edge
{
    #region Serializable

    // 3 times 4 bytes (int are 4 bytes)
    public static readonly byte[] memEdge = new byte[3 * 4];

    /// <summary>
    /// Register this class to be serializable by Photon Engine
    /// </summary>
    public static void RegisterSerializable()
    {
        PhotonPeer.RegisterType(typeof(Edge), (byte)'E', SerializeEdge, DeserializeEdge);
    }

    public static short SerializeEdge(StreamBuffer outStream, object customobject)
    {
        Edge c = (Edge)customobject;
        lock (memEdge) {
            byte[] bytes = memEdge;
            int index = 0;
            Protocol.Serialize(c.x, bytes, ref index);
            Protocol.Serialize(c.y, bytes, ref index);
            Protocol.Serialize((int)c.type, bytes, ref index);
            outStream.Write(bytes, 0, 3 * 4);
        }

        return 3 * 4;
    }

    private static object DeserializeEdge(StreamBuffer inStream, short length)
    {
        Edge c = new Edge();
        lock (memEdge) {
            inStream.Read(memEdge, 0, 3 * 4);
            int index = 0;
            Protocol.Deserialize(out c.x, memEdge, ref index);
            Protocol.Deserialize(out c.y, memEdge, ref index);
            Protocol.Deserialize(out int outType, memEdge, ref index);
            c.type = (EdgeType)outType;
        }

        return c;
    }

    #endregion

    public int x;
    public int y;
    public EdgeType type;

    public enum EdgeType : int
    {
        Straight,
        TopLeft, TopRight, BottomLeft, BottomRight,
        Unknown
    }

    private Edge() { }

    public Edge(int x, int y, EdgeType type)
    {
        this.x = x;
        this.y = y;
        this.type = type;
    }
}

Then I call Edge.RegisterSerializable() early as possible (in some Awake method on my game manager)
