OK when I try to send an integer to the server, it gives me this error: error C2664: ''send'' : cannot convert parameter 2 from ''int'' to ''const char *'' This is the code I''m using to send: send(go,Player1.xpos,sizeof(Player1.xpos),0); ------------------ Stupid Morons- my current projects

Original post by BioSquirrel
send(go,Player1.xpos,sizeof(Player1.xpos),0);

try this

int xpos;
xpos = Player1.xpos;
send(go,&xpos,sizeof(Player1.xpos),0);

It''s still not working...

send(go,(char *)&xpos,sizeof(Player1.xpos),0);

It wants a pointer and you''re supplying the actual variable.

I think you just need &(Player1.xpos) instead of Player1.xpos. You may have to cast it:

(char*)&(Player1.xpos)

Thanks Buster, it worked!

I doubt that you would actually "recv" the right "xpos" value on the other side of the connection. Send() converts the integer value to only one byte when it is being send if you do it like that, and then you will end up with a whole other position. I think you have to make up another way to deal with integer values.

Please tell me if I'm wrong.

Have any suggestions?

I''m so very sorry, I was wrong. That works just fine.
Sorry!

Bad.

Converting the pointer to a char pointer doesn''t truncate your data. Since he is passing in the size of the memory segment (size of an integer), 4 bytes will still be sent.
