Title: [SOLVED]Network question about recv packets
Post by: Soul on February 28, 2013, 02:44:55 pm

Hey, i have a question about recv packets, can i do it in this style?
i want recv part of a packet to check a packet type and packet action then recv rest of the packet?
ex.

enum packet_type
{
type1 = 0,
type2 = 1,
type3 = 2...
}

then

switch( packet >> packet_type )
{
case : type1
{
packet >> x >> x;
...
}
case : type2
{
packet >> learnskill >> id;
...
}
...
 

?

Based on what you show, the problem is not about receiving the data, it's just about decoding the packet. So yes, there's no problem doing it this way.
