Re: 2 network questions
@post 12 I can walk you through it. It's not hard.
The is the code for the person who will be hosting their IP that others will connect to,. The example in the network chapter has 2 while loops in each void, so I split it into 2 different voids between the while loops.
void create()
{
show_game_window("Game Server");
tts_voice voice;
if(host.setup_server(6500, 1, 100)==false)
{
speak("Error. The server could not be set up.");
exit();
}
speak("You are now hosting.");
network_event event;
while(true)
{
if(key_pressed(KEY_ESCAPE))
mainmenu();
event=host.request();
if(event.type==event_connect)
{
p.play_stationary("sounds/message.wav",false);
alert("peer joined.", "Peer number " + event.peer_id + " connected from " + host.get_peer_address(event.peer_id) + ".");
//determine that this is player 1
player=1;
//determines who's turn it is
first__turn=true;
second_turn=false;
//the menu for player 1 after connect success
show_game_window("player1");
player1_menu();
}
}
}
Here is the void for the person who will enter your IP
void join()
{
show_game_window("Game Client");
tts_voice voice;
uint server_id=0; // This is used to store the ID of the remote peer that will be our server.
if(host.setup_client(1, 1)==false)
{
speak("Error. The client could not be set up.");
exit();
}
//speak("Client started.");
speak("Please enter the IP address or host name that you wish to connect to.");
string address=input_box("Address", "Please enter the host name or address to connect to.");
if(address=="")
{
speak("Exiting.");
exit();
}
speak("Connecting, please wait.");
host.connect(address, 6500);
network_event event;
// In this loop, we just wait for either a connect or disconnect event as this is always the first thing that we'll get.
while(true)
{
if(key_pressed(KEY_ESCAPE))
mainmenu();
event=host.request();
if(event.type==event_connect)
{
p.play_stationary("sounds/message.wav",false);
alert("connected", "The connection to " + host.get_peer_address(event.peer_id) + " succeeded!");
server_id=event.peer_id;
//determine player
player=2;
//determine who's turn it is
first_turn=true;
second_turn=false;
show_game_window("player2");
//the menu for player2 after connection successful
player2_menu();
}
if(event.type==event_disconnect)
{
voice.speak_interrupt_wait("The connection to " + host.get_peer_address(event.peer_id) + " failed. Exiting.");
exit();
}
if(key_down(KEY_LMENU) and key_pressed(KEY_F4))
{
host.destroy();
voice.speak_interrupt_wait("Exiting.");
exit();
}
wait(5);
}
}
So, that's how you set up the connection. Now we can start sending and receiving messages. Make sure you write "network host;" at the top of your script. I will post a few examples here.
//send
void send_player1()
{
while(true)
{
//checks for received messages
receive_player1();
if(key_pressed(KEY_SPACE))
{
alert("sending", "You are sending a message.");
host.send_reliable(0, "player1_send1", 0);
//switch turns
first_turn=false;
second_turn=true;
}
if(key_pressed(KEY_RETURN))
{
p.play_stationary("sounds/send.ogg",false);
alert("sending", "You are sending another message.");
host.send_reliable(0, "player1_send2", 0);
//switch turns
first_turn=false;
second_turn=true;
}
}
}
void send_player2()
{
while(true)
{
//check for received messages
receive_player2();
if(key_pressed(KEY_SPACE))
{
alert("sending", "You are sending a message.");
host.send_reliable(0, "player2_send1", 0);
//switch turn
first_turn=true;
second_turn=false;
}
if(key_pressed(KEY_RETURN))
{
p.play_stationary("sounds/send.ogg",false);
alert("sending", "You are sending another message.");
host.send_reliable(0, "player2_send2", 0);
//switch turn
first_turn=true;
second_turn=false;
}
}
}
//receive
void receive_player1()
{
tts_voice voice;
network_event event;
event=host.request();
if(event.type==event_disconnect)
{
host.destroy();
alert("disconnected", "The server died. Exiting.");
exit();
}
if(event.type==event_receive)
{
wait(50);
if(event.message=="send1_player2")
{
alert("receive", "You received a message.");
//switch turn
first_turn=true;
second_turn=false;
}
if(event.message=="send2_player2")
{
p.play_stationary("sounds/receive.ogg",false);
alert("receive", "You received another message.");
//switch turn
first_turn=true;
second_turn=false;
}
void receive_player2()
{
tts_voice voice;
network_event event;
event=host.request();
if(event.type==event_disconnect)
{
host.destroy();
alert("disconnected", "The server died. Exiting.");
exit();
}
if(event.type==event_receive)
{
wait(50);
if(event.message=="send11_player1")
{
alert("receive", "You received a message.");
//switch turn
first_turn=false;
second_turn=true;
}
if(event.message=="send2_player1")
{
p.play_stationary("sounds/receive.ogg",false);
alert("receive", "You received another message.");
//switch turn
first_turn=false;
second_turn=true;
}
I hope that helps you with your projects.
