DistributedUIDGenerator()

Creates a generator that measures timestamps from the current time.
public DistributedUIDGenerator()

Remarks

The current UTC time becomes the DistributedUIDGenerator.CustomEpoch. Use the DistributedUIDGenerator overload to pin the epoch to a fixed point instead.
Assign a default generator to a collection's shared data.

Examples

using Unity.Localization;using UnityEngine;namespace Unity.Localization.Samples{    public class DistributedUIDGeneratorConstructorExample    {        public void Run()        {            var sharedData = ScriptableObject.CreateInstance<SharedTableData>();            sharedData.KeyGenerator = new DistributedUIDGenerator();            SharedTableData.SharedTableEntry entry = sharedData.AddKey("GREETING");            Debug.Log(entry.Id != 0);   // True        }    }}

DistributedUIDGenerator(long)

Creates a generator that measures timestamps from a specific epoch.
public DistributedUIDGenerator(long customEpoch)

Parameters

customEpoch

long
The epoch, in Unix milliseconds, that timestamps are measured from.

Remarks

Because the timestamp portion of each id counts from 
customEpoch
, a later epoch keeps ids smaller for longer before the 41-bit timestamp range is exhausted.
Create a generator pinned to a fixed epoch.

Examples

using System;using Unity.Localization;using UnityEngine;namespace Unity.Localization.Samples{    public class DistributedUIDGeneratorCustomEpochExample    {        public void Run()        {            var epoch = new DateTimeOffset(2020, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, TimeSpan.Zero).ToUnixTimeMilliseconds();            var generator = new DistributedUIDGenerator(epoch);            Debug.Log(generator.CustomEpoch == epoch);   // True        }    }}
