I'm using UDP to make my game multiplayer and I use types to store the data recieved from the messages.
The message is not corrupted and appears exactly how it should, but
newx% = BP_StrToInt (Mid$(msg\msgData,1,3)) ; from BP with slight changes
newy% = BP_StrToInt (Mid$(msg\msgData,4,3))
newdir% = BP_StrToInt (Mid$(msg\msgData,8,3))
newteam% = BP_StrToInt (Mid$(msg\msgData,11,1))
newweapon = BP_StrToInt (Mid$(msg\msgData,13,1))
newmovement = BP_StrToInt (Mid$(msg\msgData,15,1))
newhealth = BP_StrToInt (Mid$(msg\msgData, 17,3)) ;end from BP
that code (using a special command from the multiplayer thing I am using) buggers it up and I end up getting stuff like team = 48 even though the highest team number is 6.
What is happening?
this is the BP_StrToInt function
Function BP_StrToInt%(st$)
;-=-=-=Take a String of any length and turn it into an integer again.
Local shiftin%
Local num%
For shiftin = 0 To (Len (st$) - 1)
num = num Or (Asc (Mid$ (st$, shiftin + 1, 1)) Shl shiftin * 8)
Next
Return num
End Function
