I'm sorry guys, but I'm just not getting send_data_to or send_data_id to work. Has anyone here EVER used send_data_to or send_data_id and has had it working properly? I've poured half my day into it and I simply can't get it to work, period! No matter what I try or simple the script is, it just doesn't work for me no matter what. I even tried JCL's example and nothing. No matter what it wont work.

Again I ask, has anyone here used send_data_to or send_data_id and actually had it working?

I'm having trouble with this to. I can't get send_data_to to trigger any kind of event client or server side. I'm sure that in this code pressing B on the server should at least change the video window test but it doesn't.

I've tried doing a send_string and that works fine. I'm sure I'm doing something silly.

Code:

---

#include <acknex.h>
#include <default.c>

typedef struct MYDATA{
	int a;
	int b;
	int c;	
} MYDATA;

MYDATA* mydata = {a=1;b=2;c=3;}

function client_event(void* buffer)
{
	video_window(NULL, NULL, 112, "Client event triggered");
	if (event_type == EVENT_DATA)
	{
		beep();
	}	
}

function server_event(void* buffer, var id)
{
	video_window(NULL, NULL, 112, "Server event triggered");
	if (event_type == EVENT_DATA)
	{
		beep();
	}	
}

function send_some_data()
{
	video_window(NULL, NULL, 112, "Send");
	send_data_to(NULL, mydata, sizeof(MYDATA));
}

function main()
{
	vec_set(screen_color, vector(255,0,0));
	video_mode = 7;
	on_b = send_some_data;
	on_client = client_event;
	on_server = server_event;
}

PrenceOfDarkness - do you ever get send_data_to to trigger an event on the client / server side. As fas as I can see my code does not even send any data.

If anyone has a really simple copy and paste example of this function working it would be really really useful.

i have the same problem, i have a thread in the ask conitec section
