Script Execution Order

The network methods on your Network Behavior classes are called from inside Netick, which means standard Unity MonoBehaviour script order control does not work here. To specify the order of execution, use the attributes:

[ExecuteAfter(typeof(SomeOtherScript))]  /* to specify that this script executes after SomeOtherScript) */
[ExecuteBefore(typeof(SomeOtherScript))] /* to specify that this script executes before SomeOtherScript */
[ExecutionOrder(65)] /* to specify explicitly the order number

Example:

 [ExecuteAfter(typeof(SomeOtherScript))]
 public class BomberController : NetworkBehaviour 
 {
      // ... 
 }

The methods that are affected by these attributes are

  • NetworkStart
  • NetworkUpdate
  • NetworkFixedUpdate
  • NetworkRender

The following methods are also affected, but only in respect to the object itself:

  • NetworkDestroy
  • NetcodeIntoGameEngine
  • GameEngineIntoNetcode
