PacketGen

Source generator for ENet multiplayer framework in Template.

Install

Build the source gen project. Dll is built to bin\Debug\netstandard2.0\PacketGen.dll.

Copy this dll to be somewhere in the main project.

Add the following to the .csproj. Replace the path with the correct path to the dll.

<Analyzer Include="Framework/Libraries/PacketGen.dll" />

Debugging

Copying dll's is time consuming so this guide will remove that step. Assuming VS2022 is being used.

1. Right click 'Template' solution, click 'Add > Existing Project', navigate to this source gen project.
2. Right click 'Template' project, click 'Add > Project Reference...' and select the source gen project.

The following should have appeared in Template.csproj

<ProjectReference Include="..\PacketGen\PacketGen.csproj" >

Change it so it looks like the following.

<ProjectReference Include="..\PacketGen\PacketGen.csproj" 
                  OutputItemType="Analyzer"/>

Use context.ReportDiagnostic(...) or generate code comments to debug the source gen.

Build the source gen project then build the main project.

Repeat as needed.
