Type:IField`1: Difference between revisions

The IField<T> type is an Interface Type that designates the object it is applied to as something that is a field of type T. This includes anything that is exposed within the Scene Inspector UI.

In addition to every feature that IValue implements, this type makes things implementing it:

Have the ability to be driven.
Synced by default, requiring a drive to become local.

Like IValue, the T type for IFields must be a Value Type.

Type:SyncField`1
- Notably, Type:SyncRef`1 is actually a SyncField<RefID>, meaning it is also an IField<RefID>.
