2022-07-20Add peer visibility to MultiplayerSynchronizer.Fabio Alessandrelli
MultiplayerSynchronizers can now be configured to limit their visibility to a subset of the connected peers, if the synchronized node was spawned by a MultiplayerSpawner (either automatically or via custom spawn) the given node will also be despawned remotely. The replication system doesn't have the logic to handle subspawn directly, but it is possible to handle them appropriately by manually updating the visibility of the parent before changing the one of the nested spawns via the "update_visibility" function. The visibility of each MultiplayerSynchronizer can be controlled by adding or remove filters via "[add|remove]_visibility_filter(callable)". To further optimize the network code, visibility filters can be configured to be automatically updated during idle or physics frame, or set to always require manual update (via the "update_visibility" function).

2022-05-23Improve MultiplayerSynchronizer editor usabilityreduz
* Add a button to add properties (which lets you select node and property) * Add ability to drag properties and drop them to the editor. * Made the editor transient (not always visible on the bottom) since its not needed most of the time. * Added the ability to pin the editor, in case dragging properties from other nodes is desired.
2022-02-15Add an XML schema for documentationHugo Locurcio
This makes it easier to spot syntax errors when editing the class reference. The schema is referenced locally so validation can still work offline. Each class XML's schema conformance is also checked on GitHub Actions.
2022-02-04[Net] New replication interface, spawner and synchronizer nodes.Fabio Alessandrelli
Initial implementation of the MultiplayerReplicationInterface and its default implementation (SceneReplicationInterface). New MultiplayerSpawner node helps dealing with instantiation of scenes on remote peers (e.g. clients). It supports both custom spawns via a `_spawn_custom` virtual function, and optional auto-spawn of known scenes via a TypedArray<PackedScenes> property. New MultiplayerSynchornizer helps synchronizing states between the local and remote peers, supports both sync and spawn properties and is configured via a `SceneReplicationConfig` resource. It can also sync via path (i.e. without being spawned by a MultiplayerSpawner if both peers has it in tree, but will not send the spawn state in that case, only the sync one.
