How to Serialize a List<byte[]> from a Local Authority player

[Kivak]

I am trying to serialize a List<byte[ ]> (list of bytearrays) from a local authority player to it’s remote instances on other clients.

Ordinarily I would use a SyncVar or Synchronized List for this, but I don’t see a byte[ ] as an available type for those. So I tried to use OnSerialize and OnDeserialize – which worked great as long as the player was on the server, but OnSerialize is never called when the player is connected as a client.

What is the best method to serialize a List<byte[ ]> from a local authority player on a client to it’s remote instances?

Thanks!

Send the byte array to them?

Send the byte array to them?

Maybe I am missing something very simple… but how would I do that across the network?

Depends what library you use. In the hlapi. Use command / rpc

Wow, now I feel silly. I completely forgot I could send it via Command/RPC. Thank you for the gentle reminder!
