public function StartHost(): Networking.NetworkClient;
public Networking.NetworkClient StartHost();

Returns

NetworkClient The client object created - this is a "local client".

Description

This starts a network "host" - a server and client in the same application.

The client returned from StartHost() is a special "local" client that communicates to the in-process server using a message queue instead of the real network. But in almost all other cases, it can be treated as a normal client.
