How does an implementation of IPunObservable know which value to recieve?

Felix

Hey, I'm a new developer working through the tutorial and can´t construct a mental image of how stream.SendNext() and stream.ReceiveNext() works.

public void OnPhotonSerializeView(PhotonStream stream, PhotonMessageInfo info)
        {
            // can only write if photonView.IsMine == true
            if (stream.IsWriting)
            {
                stream.SendNext(isFiring);
            }
            else
            {
                this.isFiring = (bool)stream.ReceiveNext();
            }
        }

My current explanation is that if the stream has writing permission, it sends a serialized data object through the SendNext() method to a List inside the class PhotonStream. However, if the class does not have permission to write it will instead receive a bool from another (I guess converted from the previous) list. How does code ensure that the correct bool is matched with the correct IPunObersvable implementation?

Also bonus question: It says in the description that OnPhotonSerializeView() gets called from PUN, but from where exactly is this? Is PUN a class or how can I observe it to further my understanding of how the call is made?

Best regards!

The sequence is important. You serialize in a specific sequence and have to use the values accordingly.
