Is syncing a variable only once with Onphotonserializeview possible?
Options
Hi there, I have a quick question.
My game concept has cannons with long reload times like 30 seconds. So, whenever a player got hit, its health gets reduced and updated at all clients. Considering it is a 1v1 instance, the health wont be updated for another 30 seconds.
I use Onphotonserializeview syncing the health value. However, the health variable gets synced all the time continuously, which is not necessary. I have tried to use some bool variables to only update the health once, when it is modified, with no success.
What I wanted to ask is whether there is a way to sync health value (or any value) only at once, when it gets changed instead of sending updated all the time?

I tried something out, see if it works!
private bool canSync;
IEnumerator sync()
{
canSync = false;
yield return new WaitForSeconds(30);
canSync = true;
}
void OnPhotonSerializeView(PhotonStream stream, PhotonMessageInfo info)
{
if (stream.IsWriting)
{
StartCoroutine(sync());
if (canSync)
{
//DoStuff
}
}
else
{
if (canSync)
{
//DoStuff
}
}
}0
