NetworkedMultiplayerCustom
==========================

**Inherits:** :ref:`NetworkedMultiplayerPeer<class_NetworkedMultiplayerPeer>` **<** :ref:`PacketPeer<class_PacketPeer>` **<** :ref:`Reference<class_Reference>` **<** :ref:`Object<class_Object>`

A :ref:`NetworkedMultiplayerPeer<class_NetworkedMultiplayerPeer>` implementation that can be controlled from a script.

Description
-----------

A :ref:`NetworkedMultiplayerPeer<class_NetworkedMultiplayerPeer>` implementation that can be used as a :ref:`MultiplayerAPI.network_peer<class_MultiplayerAPI_property_network_peer>` and controlled from a script.

Its purpose is to allow adding a new backend for the high-Level multiplayer API without needing to use GDNative.

Signals
-------

.. _class_NetworkedMultiplayerCustom_signal_packet_generated:

- **packet_generated** **(** :ref:`int<class_int>` peer_id, :ref:`PoolByteArray<class_PoolByteArray>` buffer, :ref:`int<class_int>` transfer_mode **)**

Emitted when the local :ref:`MultiplayerAPI<class_MultiplayerAPI>` generates a packet.

Your script should take this packet and send it to the requested peer over the network (which should call :ref:`deliver_packet<class_NetworkedMultiplayerCustom_method_deliver_packet>` with the data when it's received).

Method Descriptions
-------------------

.. _class_NetworkedMultiplayerCustom_method_deliver_packet:

- void **deliver_packet** **(** :ref:`PoolByteArray<class_PoolByteArray>` buffer, :ref:`int<class_int>` from_peer_id **)**

Deliver a packet to the local :ref:`MultiplayerAPI<class_MultiplayerAPI>`.

When your script receives a packet from other peers over the network (originating from the :ref:`packet_generated<class_NetworkedMultiplayerCustom_signal_packet_generated>` signal on the sending peer), passing it to this method will deliver it locally.

----

.. _class_NetworkedMultiplayerCustom_method_initialize:

- void **initialize** **(** :ref:`int<class_int>` self_peer_id **)**

Initialize the peer with the given ``peer_id`` (must be between 1 and 2147483647).

Can only be called if the connection status is :ref:`NetworkedMultiplayerPeer.CONNECTION_CONNECTING<class_NetworkedMultiplayerPeer_constant_CONNECTION_CONNECTING>`. See :ref:`set_connection_status<class_NetworkedMultiplayerCustom_method_set_connection_status>`.

----

.. _class_NetworkedMultiplayerCustom_method_set_connection_status:

- void **set_connection_status** **(** :ref:`ConnectionStatus<enum_NetworkedMultiplayerPeer_ConnectionStatus>` connection_status **)**

Set the state of the connection. See :ref:`ConnectionStatus<enum_NetworkedMultiplayerPeer_ConnectionStatus>`.

This will emit the :ref:`NetworkedMultiplayerPeer.connection_succeeded<class_NetworkedMultiplayerPeer_signal_connection_succeeded>`, :ref:`NetworkedMultiplayerPeer.connection_failed<class_NetworkedMultiplayerPeer_signal_connection_failed>` or :ref:`NetworkedMultiplayerPeer.server_disconnected<class_NetworkedMultiplayerPeer_signal_server_disconnected>` signals depending on the status and if the peer has the unique network id of ``1``.

You can only change to :ref:`NetworkedMultiplayerPeer.CONNECTION_CONNECTING<class_NetworkedMultiplayerPeer_constant_CONNECTION_CONNECTING>` from :ref:`NetworkedMultiplayerPeer.CONNECTION_DISCONNECTED<class_NetworkedMultiplayerPeer_constant_CONNECTION_DISCONNECTED>` and to :ref:`NetworkedMultiplayerPeer.CONNECTION_CONNECTED<class_NetworkedMultiplayerPeer_constant_CONNECTION_CONNECTED>` from :ref:`NetworkedMultiplayerPeer.CONNECTION_CONNECTING<class_NetworkedMultiplayerPeer_constant_CONNECTION_CONNECTING>`.

----

.. _class_NetworkedMultiplayerCustom_method_set_max_packet_size:

- void **set_max_packet_size** **(** :ref:`int<class_int>` max_packet_size **)**

Set the max packet size that this peer can handle.
