Is checking Realtime.clientID == 0 the best way to identify if I'm on offline mode?

I want to use Realtime API to identify if I'm on offline mode. The only way I see in the docs to do this is to check for

Realtime.clientID == 0

Realtime.clientID == 0

is this correct? Is there other way to do this without custom code?

Docs: https://normcore.io/documentation/room/offline-mode#things-to-know

Offline Mode | Normcore Documenation

Normcore supports connecting to an offline room which can be useful for singleplayer games, tutorials, and other experiences that don't require a connection to the internet.

Yes, you are correct. According to the Normcore documentation (https://normcore.io/documentation/room/offline-mode#things-to-know), in offline mode,

Realtime.clientID

Realtime.clientID

and

Room.clientID

Room.clientID

will always return

. This is one way to identify if you're in offline mode.

However, there's another way to check if you're in offline mode. When you connect to a room in offline mode, you can check the property of the object. Here's an example:

In this example, will be if you're in offline mode. This might be a more direct way to check if you're in offline mode, as it doesn't rely on the being
