function OnSerializeNetworkView (stream : BitStream, info : NetworkMessageInfo) : void

Description

Used to customize synchronization of variables in a script watched by a network view.

It is automatically determined if the variables being serialized should be sent or received, see example below for a better description. This depends on who owns the object, i.e. the owner sends and all others receive.

// This objects health information

} else {
stream.Serialize(health);
currentHealth = health;
