@fastlane69 I'm using A7, so ya I'm using lite-c.

@JCL, okay well in that case I must be doing something horrificly wrong. Here is my full test script:

Code:

---

#include <acknex.h> // Pure Mode
#include <default.c>

PANEL* pnlTesting =
{
	flags = VISIBLE;
	digits(300,300,"mydata.x: %015.5f",*,1,mydata.x);
}

typedef struct MYDATA
{  
	//int x;
	var x;  
	char c[20];
} MYDATA;
MYDATA mydata; 

//receiving data
function on_client_event(void* buffer) 
{  
	//	if(event_type == EVENT_DATA)    
	memcpy(mydata,buffer,sizeof(MYDATA));
}

function main()
{
	level_load("testing.wmb");
	wait(-1);
	screen_color.blue = 255;
	#ifdef server						//if we defined this game as a server
		while(connection & 0) {wait(1);}	// wait until we have a connection
	#endif

	#ifdef client						//if we defined this game as a client
		while(connection & 0) {wait(1);}	// wait until we have a connection
	#endif

	//	on_server = server_event;
	on_client = on_client_event;
	
	player = ent_create("testing.mdl",vector(200,0,0),NULL);
	
	wait(-1);
	while(1)
	{
		wait(1);
		if(key_q == 1 && connection == 3)
		{
			while(key_q == 1){wait(1);}
			beep();
			// sending data
			mydata.x = 1234;
			strcpy(mydata.c,"Test!");
			send_data_to(NULL,mydata,sizeof(MYDATA));
		}
		
		if(key_w && connection == 3)
		{
			while(key_w == 1){wait(1);}
			beep();
			mydata.x = 54321;
			send_var_to(NULL,mydata.x);
			
		}
	}
}

Here is a downloadable link of the script that's ready to go:

send_var works fine when I change mydata.x to var. No matter what, send_data wont work. It doesn't even effect the bandwith

I have not looked into details, but don't think that your code can work. You must always check the event_type in a server or client event. Also parts of your code are never executed because "server" or "client" are nowhere defined.

In wed, when the code is ran I use -cl and -sv doesnt that define a server and client? Also my:
function on_client_event(void* buffer) {
// if(event_type == EVENT_DATA)
memcpy(mydata,buffer,sizeof(MYDATA));}

doesn't work even if I uncomment the event type

dlient and server are not defined automatically in Lite-C I think, because Lite-C handles defines differently and your code above would require two compiled version - one for the clients and one for the server.

Better evaluate the "connection" variable.

I'm having a similar problem. In my test code I cannot get the client event to recognise that send_data_to has been called. It works if I comment out send_data_to and uncomment send_string. Basically pressing B should cause a server event.

HELP - it's driving me nuts.

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;}
STRING* mystring = "test";


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

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));
	//send_string(mystring);
}

function main()
{	
	dplay_diag = 1;

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

I know ho define the client and the server. I just do it in WED, like i said it works with send_var_to

Prence: you can not define something in WED, nor does -sv and -cl #define something in lite-C. Please see: http://manual.conitec.net/define.htm. Use the connection variable to find out in which mode your app was started.

Richey: yes, that code should work. Maybe there's a bug. I'll look into it in detail, and let you know.

I'm using A7.07 commercial if that is of assistance. Thanks.

Ok, I've looked into it and the reason for your problem was indeed a bug in 7.07 and 7.06. I had not noticed the bug so far because it didn't appear in my test scripts. But it appears under many other circumstances and is probably also a reason for Prence's problems. This will be fixed in the next version.

Thank you.
