Where to use a Transient variable.

Transient properties are always initialized to zero and are not serialized to disk. The time to use one is if the object at runtime will set the variable. For instance, let’s suppose you had a character that has MaxHealth as a value setup by the designer, which you treat as const at runtime. At runtime, you’d copy that value into a transient called CurrentHealth. CurrentHealth would go up or down and can be compared to MaxHealth.

Hi joeGraf,

I know this thread is a bit old but I’m a bit curious about this. I dont understand exactly when is needed the use of “Transient”. I understand your sample, but exactly what is the point ? All properties that you modify at runtime need to be Transient for some specific reason, or properties that you modify in runtime and also replicate ?. Exactly why i need to use Transient ?

Thanks,
