some uLink questions

Unity Engine

Can someone shed some light on these uLink questions?

Q1:
The client connects to the server and is given an incrementing ID.
Is it possible for a dirty client to pass back information on a different ID?
Or is it all validated/safe and can i use this ID for my own server code’s purposes

Q2a:
When you receive a RPC, you can get the the timestampInMillis from the included uLink.NetworkMessageInfo…
Do i assume uLink.Network.timeInMillis - networkMessageInfo.timestampInMillis will give me a halfround trip?

Q2b:
Doing this locally with networkView.UnreliableRPC results in an average of 31ms which strikes me as odd…
Is there some form of en/de-crypting/un-compressing going on?

Thank you!

The uLink forums would be a better place to post this.

Q1: No idea. I presume this would be a trivial hack, so there is probably something more than just the ID.
Q2: Yes, it would be a good approximation.
Q3: Again, no idea.

The uLink developers rarely look at this forum, and by rarely I mean nearly never. Use their forum and hope you get a reply.

reason i post here is because the uLink forum is dead :slight_smile:
