Author Topic: Question involving client messaging (Read 2279 times)

So, I'm making a client-sided mod game, and 2 players need to have it to play the game together, but I need a way to be able to send a message (action really) to the player who has the mod. It's just 2 clients on any server, and they both have a mod. Please tell me there is a way.

if not anything else, you could use clientCmds and serverCmds and have the server as the middleman, so to speak.

of course depending on what you're doing this may be problematic

Make a client command, something like this:

Code: [Select]

function clientCmdGameAction(%feature, %arg, %args, %argss)
{
    switch(%feature)
    {
        case 1:

        case 2:

        case 3:
    }
}

Then on the server, you can do something like:

commandToClient(%client, 'gameAction', 1, %x, %y, %z);

I think he means he has no access to the server and both people are clients

Well with an external server I think

You could annoy everyone and use the chat, or use rtbc for it

You could probably connect them somehow using TCPObjects, however odds are that would have loads of complications (port forwarding, perhaps? i don't know much about TCPObjects) I'm unaware of.
