Properties

---

Authority : Authority

Controls which peer has the authority to observe and replicate property changes. (Client: Indicates both the client and server are allowed to observe and replicate property changes) (Server: Indicates only the server is allowed to observe and replicate property changes) Only a single client, specified by NetObject::NetUserOwnerPeerId, may possess client authority at any given time. The server is still responsible for relaying contained property changes to other clients, but will not replicate contained property changes back to the authority client. However, the server is also still responsible for other replication commands (such as object creation/destruction), and these WILL be replicated to the authority client.

var Authority : Authority

Returns true if the net channel is currently napping (performing change detection on longer intervals), else false.

var IsNapping : Boolean

---

IsScheduled : boolean

read-only

Returns true if this net channel is scheduled for change observation, else false.

var IsScheduled : Boolean

---

LastChangeTimePassed : real

read-only

Elapsed time passed since this net channel was last changed, else 0.

var LastChangeTimePassed : Real

---

LastChangeTimestamp : real

read-only

Timestamp indicating when this net channel was last changed, else 0.

var LastChangeTimestamp : Real

---

Name : string

read-only

Net channel name.

var Name : String

NetChannelType : netchanneltype

read-only

Operating net channel type.
