Realtime.Destroy On owned realtime prefabs.

Can I destroy a RealtimePrefab by calling Realtime.Destroy even if someone else is an owner? Or do I have to take ownership first before destroying. I know it would destroy but I am thinking more like what will happen in the datastore?

In NormalVR, the recommended practice is to have the client that owns the object destroy it. This is to prevent issues that can occur when multiple clients attempt to delete the same model from a RealtimeSet at the same time. If multiple clients call on the same object at the same time, it can lead to errors.

Here is the recommended way to destroy an object:

This code checks if the is owned locally, and if it is, it calls on the . This ensures that only the owner of the object can destroy it, preventing potential conflicts.

In terms of what happens in the datastore, if the or flags are set to true, the model will be destroyed when the owner of the model leaves the room or when the last client in the room leaves, respectively. If these flags are not set, the model will persist in the datastore even after the client disconnects.
