What can be sent over RPC?

I’m having a hard time finding info online and I’m not sure if my testing is sufficient. I’ve been able to send basic types, Vector2, Vector3, and Nodes. I tried sending an inner class, but it did not work.

So, what can actually be sent via RPC parameters? Is there a limit on how big a single parameter can be?

It would at a technical level need to be serialisable which I don't think a class would be. Think of JSON, assume everything is effectively sent in that format. So internally the engine might be serialising and de-serialising basic types like numbers and strings.

I mean I guess just about anything could be sent, as long as you could reconstruct the class on the other end. Like there's a separate implementation of the same class, and you turn it into binary. All references would be lost.

Well now I'm talking about things I don't really know. How complicated is the data you want to send?

Thanks, that makes sense.

The class I tried to send just contained two Vector3s. I was able to work around the issue by just sending each Vector3 as a separate parameter. The most complicated thing I’d probably try to send is a JSON string representing level data.
