Netick TickTimer

Netick is a state transfer Unity netcode. This TickTimer is inspired by Photon Fusion TickTimer

TickTimer is a plugin wrapper that counts if the tick we are targeting has been passed, rather than decrementing a float with deltaTime.

How to Use?

[Networked] private TickTimer _destroyTimer { get; set; }
private float _delay = 5f;

public override void NetworkStart()
{
    _destroyTimer = TickTimer.CreateFromSeconds(Sandbox, _delay);
}

public override void NetworkFixedUpdate()
{
    if (_destroyTimer.IsExpired(Sandbox))
    {
        _destroyTimer = TickTimer.None;
        Sandbox.Destroy(Object);
    }
}
