[ANet] Send Event Extention? - 01/01/11 23:54

Hi Dark_samurai,

i can�t write you a pm cause your personal limit is reached

1) First i have a question. In the manual it says you can send an event to yourself.

Does this cost traffic or not?

2) Could you think about implenting another "function" like BROADCAST, SERVER maybe ALL to send it to all + sender?

Otherwise we need to do it like this.

Code:

enet_clsend_event(20,daten,25,BROADCAST);
enet_clsend_event(20,daten,25,enet_get_clientid());

Or is there already something new?

Would be great

Thanks

Yes this will require traffic. This is ment to do some sort of ping to test the connection. Because the packet will travel from the client to the server and back.

Better do it this way:

Code:

enet_clsend_event(20, daten, 25, BROADCAST);
event_function(MY_CLIENTID, (String*)daten, 25); //the event function that is registered for event 20

This costs no traffic and is easy to implement. Another sending option would be too much work for too less advantages because the workaround is that easy.
