Travel is server authoritative and supports both same-scene repositioning and location/scene transitions through one location-session path.

Important types#

  • LocationDefinition describes a location/loading/grid scope.
  • TravelDefinition describes travel content.
  • TravelDestination exposes stable destination IDs and arrival data.
  • NetworkLocationSession is the authoritative player travel/session coordinator.
  • NetworkTravelTrigger supports server-triggered travel when entering a configured trigger.

Travel flow#

Player requests interaction or enters server travel trigger

Server validates destination and readiness

NetworkLocationSession begins authoritative travel

Location state saved/replicated

Client transition presentation completes

Login restore#

Gameplay readiness includes scene restoration. A reconnecting player is not fully ready until the saved location/scene has been restored and the local presentation is bound.

Current limitations#

  • The demo save settings register only Demo for scene restoration.
  • Travel group policies beyond Individual and instances beyond shared instance 0 are not fully implemented.
Do not reintroduce old local travel paths beside NetworkLocationSession. New travel must stay inside the authoritative location/session architecture.
