Enumeration Type Documentation

AuthModeOption

enum AuthModeOption

strong

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

ClientAppType

enum ClientAppType

strong

Defines which sort of app the LoadBalancingClient is used for: Realtime or Voice.

Enumerator
Realtime	Realtime apps are for gaming / interaction. Also used by PUN 2.
Voice	Voice apps stream audio.
Fusion	Fusion clients are for matchmaking and relay in Photon Fusion.

CustomAuthenticationType

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 authentication service. Currently the only implemented option.
Steam	Authenticates users by their Steam Account. Set Steam's ticket as "ticket" via AddAuthParameter().
Facebook	Authenticates users by their Facebook Account. Set Facebooks's tocken as "token" via AddAuthParameter().
Oculus	Authenticates users by their Oculus Account and token. Set Oculus' userid as "userid" and nonce as "nonce" via AddAuthParameter().
PlayStation4	Authenticates users by their PSN Account and token on PS4. Set token as "token", env as "env" and userName as "userName" via AddAuthParameter().
Xbox	Authenticates users by their Xbox Account. Pass the XSTS token via SetAuthPostData().
Viveport	Authenticates users by their HTC Viveport Account. Set userToken as "userToken" via AddAuthParameter().
NintendoSwitch	Authenticates users by their NSA ID. Set token as "token" and appversion as "appversion" via AddAuthParameter(). The appversion is optional.
PlayStation5	Authenticates users by their PSN Account and token on PS5. Set token as "token", env as "env" and userName as "userName" via AddAuthParameter().
Epic	Authenticates users with Epic Online Services (EOS). Set token as "token" and ownershipToken as "ownershipToken" via AddAuthParameter(). The ownershipToken is optional.
FacebookGaming	Authenticates users with Facebook Gaming api. Set token as "token" via AddAuthParameter().
None	Disables custom authentication. Same as not providing any AuthenticationValues for connect (more precisely for: OpAuthenticate).

DisconnectCause

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.
DnsExceptionOnConnect	OnStatusChanged: Dns resolution for a hostname failed. The exception for this is being caught and logged with error level.
ServerAddressInvalid	OnStatusChanged: The server address was parsed as IPv4 illegally. An illegal address would be e.g. 192.168.1.300. IPAddress.TryParse() will let this pass but our check won't.
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.
SendException	Send exception.
ReceiveException	Receive exception.
ServerTimeout	OnStatusChanged: The server disconnected this client due to timing out (missing acknowledgement from the client).
ClientTimeout	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.
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).
DisconnectByOperationLimit	The client called an operation too frequently and got disconnected due to hitting the OperationLimit. This triggers a client-side disconnect, too. To protect the server, some operations have a limit. When an OperationResponse fails with ErrorCode.OperationLimitReached, the client disconnects.
DisconnectByDisconnectMessage	The client received a "Disconnect Message" from the server. Check the debug logs for details.
ApplicationQuit	Used in case the application quits. Can be useful to not load new scenes or re-connect in OnDisconnected. ConnectionHandler.OnDisable() will use this, if the Unity engine already called OnApplicationQuit (ConnectionHandler.AppQuits = true).

EncryptionMode

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).
DatagramEncryptionGCM	Datagram Encryption with GCM. DatagramEncryptionGCMRandomSequence = 12,

EventCaching

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.

JoinMode

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.

LobbyType

enum LobbyType : byte

strong

Types of lobbies define their behaviour and capabilities. Check each value for details.

Values of this enum must be matched by the server.

Enumerator
Default	Standard type and behaviour: While joined to this lobby clients get room-lists and JoinRandomRoom can use a simple filter to match properties (perfectly).
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.

MatchmakingMode

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.

PropertyTypeFlag

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'

ReceiverGroup

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.

ServerConnection

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).
