      * registerAllVariables: register all variables (currently only basic types and strings), that need synchronisation, to the network engine by calling REGISTERDATA and/or REGISTERSTRING
      * create: (as described above)
+     * set appropriate synchronisation direction (default: server->client) by calling setObjectMode

+''' Synchronisable functions:'''[[BR]]
+''REGISTERDATA(varname)''[[BR]]
+Use this makro to synchronise a membervariable of a class (like position, velocity, ...). This makro sets the sync-direction of the variable to server->client
+{{{
+int SomeClass::i; // membervariable i
+REGISTERDATA(i);
+}}}
+''REGISTERDATA_WITHMODE(varname, mode)''[[BR]]
+Use this makro if you want to sync a variable using a different direction than the default. 
+{{{
+int SomeClass::i; //membervariable i
+REGISTERDATA_WITHMODE(i, network::direction::toclient); //same as REGISTERDATA(i)
+//or
+REGISTERDATA_WITHMODE(i, network::direction::toserver); //sync i only to the server (be carefull when using this)
+//or
+REGISTERDATA_WITHMODE(i, network::direction::bidirectional); //sync i in both directions
+}}}
+
+''REGISTERSTRING(stringname)''[[BR]]
+same as REGISTERDATA but for strings
+
+''REGISTERSTRING_WITHMODE(stringname, mode)''[[BR]]
+same as REGISTERDATA_WITHMODE but for strings
+
+''setObjectMode''[[BR]]
+this sets the sync direction of the whole object (default: server->client).
+'''Note:''' if you don't call setObjectMode with a value other than network::direction::toclient then the variables will only be synchronised to the client (if at all)
