UCavrnusLiveXPropertyUpdate (Unreal Engine)

This class is created by calling BeginTransientXPropertyUpdate. It exists to represent a “live change” being made to a property. As such, it can repeatedly be given new data, none of which will end up in the final Journal until you call Finish().
There is logic lower down in this system to limit the rate at which messages are sent to the server. This means if you are calling UpdateWithNewData every frame, remote users will not see nearly that many updates. Doing this preserves network performance and makes it so you don’t need to limit yourself when giving changes to this object.
