|
|

## APIs
|
|
There's some useful APIs for speeding up the multiplayer testing workflow.
|
|
Here's a basic example:
|
|
```
|
|
if (ClonesManager.IsClone()) {
|
|
// Automatically connect to local host if this is the clone editor
|
|
}else{
|
|
// Automatically start server if this is the original editor
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
Check out [the doc](https://github.com/VeriorPies/ParrelSync/wiki/List-of-APIs) to view the complete API list.
|
|
|
|
## How does it work?
|
|
For each clone instance, ParrelSync will make a copy of the original project folder and reference the ```Asset```, ```Packages``` and ```ProjectSettings``` folder back to the original project with [symbolic link](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/windows-commands/mklink). Other folders such as ```Library```, ```Temp```, and ```obj``` will remain independent for each clone project.
|
|
|
|
All clones are placed right next to the original project with suffix *```_clone_x```*, which will be something like this in the folder hierarchy.
|
|
```
|
|
/ProjectName
|
|
/ProjectName_clone_0
|
|
/ProjectName_clone_1
|
|
...
|
|
```
