Gnet and its use... need help :p

McFox

Hi !

Ok I'm trying to understand how does GNet work.
I try to make a little server/client (separated) program that juste print on each client the name of each client (inclued himself) connected, I'm currently testing on local but It doesn't work cuz I don't realy know how to do this... that's why I beg your help :)

server.bmx

Local host:TGNetHost=CreateGNetHost()
While Not KeyHit(KEY_ESCAPE)
	GNetListen(host,9000)
	GNetSync(host)
	GNetAccept(host)
Wend

client.bmx

Local host:TGNetHost=CreateGNetHost()
Local localclient:TGNetObject=CreateGNetObject(host)
Local nick:String=Input()

Const slot_name = 0

SetGNetString localclient,slot_name,nick

GNetConnect(host,"127.0.0.1",9000)

While Not KeyHit( KEY_ESCAPE )
	GNetSync(host)
	RefreshName()
Wend

Function RefreshName()
	For Local obj:TGNetObject=EachIn GNetObjects(host)
		Print GetGNetString(obj,0)
	Next
EndFunction

any help would be appreciated

All a client-side problem
you had to send the function the host variable, because its a function, not a method.

........
While Not KeyHit( KEY_ESCAPE )
        GNetSync(host)
        RefreshName(host)
Wend

Function RefreshName( thehost:TGNetHost )
        For Local obj:TGNetObject=EachIn GNetObjects( thehost )
                Print GetGNetString(obj,0)
        Next
EndFunction
.......
