Overview:

Holocore operates almost entirely on something called Intents. An Intent is a simple class that conveys a particular piece of information, and is broadcasted throughout the server to anyone who is listening for it. Two primary kinds of intents are ones that contain a status update of some kind, and another is requesting that some other service do a task.

Some Examples of status update intents:

• GalacticPacketIntent - for packets originating from the client
• ServerStatusIntent - for updates to the server status, such as "OPEN" or "LOCKED"

Some Examples of command intents:

• ObjectTeleportIntent - for requesting an object be teleported
  • Additional information: ObjectAwareness listens for this intent and handles the teleportation in a safe way to avoid crashes
• CloseConnectionIntent - for requesting a player be disconnected
  • Additional information: NetworkClientManager listens for this intent and closes the connection
