Description

Set the connection identifier for this local user.

The connection identifier is a unique identifier for this local user on a client and is used to associate the local player that began a connection handshake with a player controller replicated to the client when the connection handshake is complete.

Only set this if you are connecting to a game server outside of the normal connection flow in the engine (e.g. you are sending NMT_Join manually to initiate a connection).

This is the expected flow for how the connection identifier should be used:

• (Client) Set the connection identifier before sending NMT_Join, NMT_JoinSplit, NMT_JoinNoPawnSplit or NMT_JoinNoPawn.
• (Client) The connection identifier is sent with the join message as a URL argument.
• (Server) Set the connection identifier on the player controller spawned on the game server.
• (Client) Match the player controller connection identifier to the correct local user connection identifier.
