This API reference is still in early developmental stages. As such, some information may be missing or out of date. Feel free to refer to this documentation as a low-level index of Engine classes and functions. However, please reference the latest code for a complete understanding of functionality and performance.

CAVRNUS TYPES

CavrnusSpaceConnection	This is the most important object in Cavrnus. It represents a user’s connection to a Space. As such it is used to access Properties, hook Users, etc.
CavrnusAuthentication	This contains the Token received from the server upon a successful login. You can only ever have one active login at a time. At the moment, outside of just existing, this class doesn’t really “do” anything.
CavrnusSpaceInfo	This is the live info about a given Space. It can be used to create a Spaces List, like the one provided in Cavrnus by default.
CavrnusUser	This represents an individual user, and can be used to fetch their properties at runtime.
CavrnusLivePropertyUpdate	This is used to post Transient Updates.
CavrnusInputDevice	This represents a microphone, and can be used to create a Audio/Video selector, like the one provided in Cavrnus by default.
CavrnusVideoInputDevice	This represents a Video Source (both Cameras and Desktop Streams), and can be used to create a Audio/Video selector, like the one provided in Cavrnus by default.
CavrnusSpawnedObject	This represents an object that was spawned in a synchronized way at runtime using Cavrnus. It is used to manage that objects properties and, if desired, to delete it.

FetchJoinableSpaces	Gets a list of all current spaces which can be joined
BindJoinableSpaces	Triggers when spaces become available to you that you can join, or when their metadata changes
IsConnectedToAnySpace	Checks if there is any active connection to a space
JoinSpace	Connects to a Space; joining voice & video and recieving/processing the journal
AwaitAnySpaceBeginLoading	Triggers when you begin attempting to join a space, returning the ID of the space being joined
AwaitAnySpaceConnection	Triggers immediately if you are already in a space, otherwise triggers as soon as you connect
ExitSpace	Disconnects you from a given space. You will stop recieving property updates, and lose user & voice connections
