+== Basic steps ==
+ 1. {{{ #include "network/Synchronisable.h" }}}
+ 2. make sure your class inherits from Synchronisable:
+{{{
+class XYZ : public network::Synchronisable { ... };
+}}}
+ 3. create the function void registerAllVariables() and call REGISTERDATA or REGISTERSTRING functions in order to register these variables for synchronisation:
+{{{
+void XYZ::registerAllVariables(){
+REGISTERDATA(somevariable);
+REGISTERSTRING(meshSrcName_);
+}
+}}}
+ 4. make sure registerAllVariables() gets called in the constructor:
+{{{
+XYZ::XYZ(){
+registerAllVariables();
+// do not work with synchronisable variables in your constructor (except initialisation)
+}
+}}}
+ 5. implement the create() function and put all the code that needs some synchronisable variables to be set inside it:
+{{{
+bool XYZ::create(){
+this->ogreMesh_.setMesh(meshSrcName_);
+}
+}}}
