Enumeration Type Documentation

enum AuthModeOption
strong

Options for authentication modes. From "classic" auth on each server to AuthOnce (on NameServer).

enum CustomAuthenticationType : byte
strong

Options for optional "Custom Authentication" services used with Photon. Used by OpAuthenticate after connecting to Photon.

Enumerator
Custom 

Use a custom authentification service. Currently the only implemented option.

Steam 

Authenticates users by their Steam Account. Set auth values accordingly!

Facebook 

Authenticates users by their Facebook Account. Set auth values accordingly!

Oculus 

Authenticates users by their Oculus Account and token.

PlayStation 

Authenticates users by their PSN Account and token.

Xbox 

Authenticates users by their Xbox Account and XSTS token.

Viveport 

Authenticates users by their HTC Viveport Account and user token. Set AuthGetParameters to "userToken=[userToken]"

NintendoSwitch 

Authenticates users by their NSA ID.

None 

Disables custom authentification. Same as not providing any AuthenticationValues for connect (more precisely for: OpAuthenticate).

enum DisconnectCause
strong

Enumeration of causes for Disconnects (used in LoadBalancingClient.DisconnectedCause).

Read the individual descriptions to find out what to do about this type of disconnect.

Enumerator
None 

No error was tracked.

ExceptionOnConnect 

OnStatusChanged: The server is not available or the address is wrong. Make sure the port is provided and the server is up.

Exception 

OnStatusChanged: Some internal exception caused the socket code to fail. This may happen if you attempt to connect locally but the server is not available. In doubt: Contact Exit Games.

ServerTimeout 

OnStatusChanged: The server disconnected this client due to timing out (missing acknowledgement from the client).

DisconnectByServer 

OnStatusChanged: The server disconnected this client. Most likely the server's send buffer is full (receiving too much from other clients).

ClientTimeout 

OnStatusChanged: This client detected that the server's responses are not received in due time.

TimeoutDisconnect 

OnStatusChanged: This client detected that the server's responses are not received in due time.

DisconnectByServerLogic 

OnStatusChanged: The server disconnected this client from within the room's logic (the C# code).

DisconnectByServerReasonUnknown 

OnStatusChanged: The server disconnected this client for unknown reasons.

InvalidAuthentication 

OnOperationResponse: Authenticate in the Photon Cloud with invalid AppId. Update your subscription or contact Exit Games.

CustomAuthenticationFailed 

OnOperationResponse: Authenticate in the Photon Cloud with invalid client values or custom authentication setup in Cloud Dashboard.

AuthenticationTicketExpired 

The authentication ticket should provide access to any Photon Cloud server without doing another authentication-service call. However, the ticket expired.

MaxCcuReached 

OnOperationResponse: Authenticate (temporarily) failed when using a Photon Cloud subscription without CCU Burst. Update your subscription.

DisconnectByServerUserLimit 

OnStatusChanged: The current CCUs exceed the CCUs of your subscription (or license). Get a suitable subscription (some include overage).

InvalidRegion 

OnOperationResponse: Authenticate when the app's Photon Cloud subscription is locked to some (other) region(s). Update your subscription or master server address.

OperationNotAllowedInCurrentState 

OnOperationResponse: Operation that's (currently) not available for this client (not authorized usually). Only tracked for op Authenticate.

DisconnectByClientLogic 

OnStatusChanged: The client disconnected from within the logic (the C# code).

enum EncryptionMode
strong

Defines how the communication gets encrypted.

Enumerator
PayloadEncryption 

This is the default encryption mode: Messages get encrypted only on demand (when you send operations with the "encrypt" parameter set to true).

DatagramEncryption 

With this encryption mode for UDP, the connection gets setup and all further datagrams get encrypted almost entirely. On-demand message encryption (like in PayloadEncryption) is unavailable.

DatagramEncryptionRandomSequence 

With this encryption mode for UDP, the connection gets setup with random sequence numbers and all further datagrams get encrypted almost entirely. On-demand message encryption (like in PayloadEncryption) is unavailable.

enum EventCaching : byte
strong

Lite - OpRaiseEvent allows you to cache events and automatically send them to joining players in a room. Events are cached per event code and player: Event 100 (example!) can be stored once per player. Cached events can be modified, replaced and removed.

Caching works only combination with ReceiverGroup options Others and All.

Enumerator
DoNotCache 

Default value (not sent).

MergeCache 

Will merge this event's keys with those already cached.

ReplaceCache 

Replaces the event cache for this eventCode with this event's content.

RemoveCache 

Removes this event (by eventCode) from the cache.

AddToRoomCache 

Adds an event to the room's cache

AddToRoomCacheGlobal 

Adds this event to the cache for actor 0 (becoming a "globally owned" event in the cache).

RemoveFromRoomCache 

Remove fitting event from the room's cache.

RemoveFromRoomCacheForActorsLeft 

Removes events of players who already left the room (cleaning up).

SliceIncreaseIndex 

Increase the index of the sliced cache.

SliceSetIndex 

Set the index of the sliced cache. You must set RaiseEventOptions.CacheSliceIndex for this.

SlicePurgeIndex 

Purge cache slice with index. Exactly one slice is removed from cache. You must set RaiseEventOptions.CacheSliceIndex for this.

SlicePurgeUpToIndex 

Purge cache slices with specified index and anything lower than that. You must set RaiseEventOptions.CacheSliceIndex for this.

enum JoinMode : byte
strong

Defines possible values for OpJoinRoom and OpJoinOrCreate. It tells the server if the room can be only be joined normally, created implicitly or found on a web-service for Turnbased games.

These values are not directly used by a game but implicitly set.

Enumerator
Default 

Regular join. The room must exist.

CreateIfNotExists 

Join or create the room if it's not existing. Used for OpJoinOrCreate for example.

JoinOrRejoin 

The room might be out of memory and should be loaded (if possible) from a Turnbased web-service.

RejoinOnly 

Only re-join will be allowed. If the user is not yet in the room, this will fail.

enum LobbyType : byte
strong

Options of lobby types available. Lobby types might be implemented in certain Photon versions and won't be available on older servers.

Enumerator
Default 

This lobby is used unless another is defined by game or JoinRandom. Room-lists will be sent and JoinRandomRoom can filter by matching properties.

SqlLobby 

This lobby type lists rooms like Default but JoinRandom has a parameter for SQL-like "where" clauses for filtering. This allows bigger, less, or and and combinations.

AsyncRandomLobby 

This lobby does not send lists of games. It is only used for OpJoinRandomRoom. It keeps rooms available for a while when there are only inactive users left.

enum MatchmakingMode : byte
strong

Options for matchmaking rules for OpJoinRandom.

Enumerator
FillRoom 

Fills up rooms (oldest first) to get players together as fast as possible. Default.

Makes most sense with MaxPlayers > 0 and games that can only start with more players.

SerialMatching 

Distributes players across available rooms sequentially but takes filter into account. Without filter, rooms get players evenly distributed.

RandomMatching 

Joins a (fully) random room. Expected properties must match but aside from this, any available room might be selected.

enum PropertyTypeFlag : byte
strong

Flags for "types of properties", being used as filter in OpGetProperties.

Enumerator
None 

(0x00) Flag type for no property type.

Game 

(0x01) Flag type for game-attached properties.

Actor 

(0x02) Flag type for actor related propeties.

GameAndActor 

(0x01) Flag type for game AND actor properties. Equal to 'Game'

enum ReceiverGroup : byte
strong

Lite - OpRaiseEvent lets you chose which actors in the room should receive events. By default, events are sent to "Others" but you can overrule this.

Enumerator
Others 

Default value (not sent). Anyone else gets my event.

All 

Everyone in the current room (including this peer) will get this event.

MasterClient 

The server sends this event only to the actor with the lowest actorNumber.

The "master client" does not have special rights but is the one who is in this room the longest time.

enum ServerConnection
strong

Available server (types) for internally used field: server.

Photon uses 3 different roles of servers: Name Server, Master Server and Game Server.

Enumerator
MasterServer 

This server is where matchmaking gets done and where clients can get lists of rooms in lobbies.

GameServer 

This server handles a number of rooms to execute and relay the messages between players (in a room).

NameServer 

This server is used initially to get the address (IP) of a Master Server for a specific region. Not used for Photon OnPremise (self hosted).
