It's very easy:

Code: Select all

  
; Client's side:
  
Structure Test
  long.l
  word.w
EndStructure
  
var.Test\long = 1
var.Test\word = 2
  
SendNetworkData(Id.l, @var, SizeOf(Test))
  
; Server Side:
  
Structure Test
  long.l
  word.w
EndStructure
  
var2.Test
  
ReceiveNetworkData(Id.l, @var2, SizeOf(Test))
  

That's it, no big deal.

A debugged program is one for which you have not yet found the conditions that make it fail.

Hi again,

I've just noticed, that it's not that easy, if the structure contains a string.
Becourse Strings have a variable size, so the server can't know how big the
Structure really is.

But you can do it like that:

Code: Select all

Structure Test
  string.b[100]   ; 100 bytes for the String
EndStructure
  
var.Test
  
PokeS(@var\string[0], "Hello World")  ; fill the String  
string.s = PeekS(@var\string[0]) ; get String (at Servers Side)

A ittle confusing, but it works...
