static function Connect (IPs : string[], remotePort : int, password : string = "") : NetworkConnectionError

Description

This function is exactly like Network.Connect but can accept an array of IP addresses.

It can be used when the host information from a master server returns multiple internal IP addresses, then the IP data structure can be passed directly into this connect function. It actually connects to the first IP which responds to a ping (i.e. is connectable).

static function Connect (GUID : string, password : string = "") : NetworkConnectionError

Description

Connect to a server GUID. NAT punchthrough can only be performed this way.

The host GUID value is exposed locally through the NetworkPlayer structure. The master server also provides this in the HostData structure.

static function Connect (hostData : HostData, password : string = "") : NetworkConnectionError

Description

Connect to the host represented by a HostData structure returned by the Master Server.
