HotkeyBroadcasts - jimdroberts/FishMMO GitHub Wiki

Defines data structures and broadcast messages for character hotkey assignments, including single and multiple hotkey updates. Used for networked communication of hotkey changes between client and server.

• public class HotkeyData

  Data structure representing a hotkey assignment for a character.

  • byte Type: Type of the hotkey (e.g., ability, item).\n - int Slot: Slot index where the hotkey is assigned.\n - long ReferenceID: Reference ID for the hotkey target (e.g., ability or item ID). Defaults to -1 if unset.

• public struct HotkeySetBroadcast : IBroadcast

  Broadcast for setting a single hotkey assignment for a character. Contains the hotkey data to be set.

  • HotkeyData HotkeyData: Hotkey data to assign.

• public struct HotkeySetMultipleBroadcast : IBroadcast

  Broadcast for setting multiple hotkey assignments at once. Used for bulk hotkey updates or synchronization.

  • List Hotkeys: List of hotkey assignments to set.

1. Use these data structures and broadcast structs to send and receive hotkey assignments between client and server.
2. Populate the fields as required for each hotkey operation (set, bulk set, etc.).

// Example 1: Setting a single hotkey
HotkeySetBroadcast setHotkey = new HotkeySetBroadcast {
    HotkeyData = new HotkeyData {
        Type = 1, // Ability
        Slot = 2,
        ReferenceID = 1001
    }
};
networkManager.ClientManager.Broadcast(setHotkey);

// Example 2: Setting multiple hotkeys
HotkeySetMultipleBroadcast setMultiple = new HotkeySetMultipleBroadcast {
    Hotkeys = new List<HotkeySetBroadcast> {
        new HotkeySetBroadcast { HotkeyData = new HotkeyData { Type = 1, Slot = 2, ReferenceID = 1001 } },
        new HotkeySetBroadcast { HotkeyData = new HotkeyData { Type = 2, Slot = 3, ReferenceID = 2001 } }
    }
};
networkManager.ClientManager.Broadcast(setMultiple);

• Always validate hotkey types, slots, and reference IDs before sending or processing broadcasts.
• Use bulk updates for efficient synchronization of multiple hotkeys.
• Keep hotkey logic modular and well-documented for maintainability.
• Use the provided data structures and broadcast structs for clear, type-safe network communication.
