SyncedVars are simple ways to have syncronized fields in NetworkedBehaviours. SyncedVars are similar to NetworkedVars but have a few differences:

  1. They are slower
  2. They are less customizable
  3. They only sync from server to client
  4. They require less code
  5. They support serialization


Creating a SyncedVar is as easy as creating an attribute on the field. Note that properties are not supported.

public float mySyncedFloat = 5f;

Single Sync Values

If you want values to be synced only once (at spawn), the send rate can be set to a negative value.
