Message.AddVarLong Method

Namespace: Riptide

Assembly: RiptideNetworking.dll

AddVarLong(long)

Adds a positive or negative number to the message, using fewer bits for smaller values.

public Message AddVarLong(long value)

Parameters

long

value

The value to add.

Returns

Message

The message that the value was added to.

Remarks

The value is added in segments of 8 bits, 1 of which is used to indicate whether or not another segment follows. As a result, small values are added to the message using fewer bits, while large values will require a few more bits than they would if they were added via AddByte(byte), AddUShort(ushort), AddUInt(uint), or AddULong(ulong) (or their signed counterparts).
