Rem Send

A Remote Procedure Call framework for Godot C# using source generators.

Features

• Call source-generated RPCs with static typing and optimal performance.
• Request and return values from RPCs.
• Send variant-incompatible values with MemoryPack.
• Extra access enum (peer -> authority).
• Fully compatible with async / Tasks.
• Created for use in a real MMORPG.

Setup

1. Install RemSend through NuGet.
2. Connect RemSend to your MultiplayerApi by using the following code:

RemSendService.Setup((SceneMultiplayer)Multiplayer, GetTree().Root);

Examples

Sending a method call to a remote peer:

[Rem(RemAccess.Any)]
public void SayWords(List<string> Words) {
    foreach (string Word in Words) {
        GD.Print(Word);
    }
}

// Send SayWords to authority
SendSayWords(1, ["cat", "dog"]);
// Broadcast SayWords to all peers
BroadcastSayWords(["cat", "dog"]);

Requesting a result from a peer:

[Rem(RemAccess.PeerToAuthority)]
public int GetNumber() {
    return 5;
}

// Send GetNumber to authority and await result for up to 10 seconds
int Number = await RequestGetNumber(1, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10));

Getting the remote sender's peer ID:

[Rem(RemAccess.Any)]
public void RemoteHug([Sender] int SenderId) {
    if (SenderId is 1) {
        GD.Print("Thank you authority.");
    }
    else if (SenderId is 0) {
        GD.Print("*depression*");
    }
    else {
        GD.Print("Thank you random peer.");
    }
}

// Send RemoteHug to authority
SendRemoteHug(1);

Notes

• Since RemSend uses SceneMultiplayer.SendBytes and SceneMultiplayer.PeerPacket, using them with RemSend is not recommended. However, you can still use RPCs.
• RemSend does not support GDScript or C++. It can only be used with C#. Other languages can use RPCs instead.

Special Thanks

• GodotSharp.SourceGenerators for help with source generation for members with attributes.
