I'm trying to make a queue system in my multiplayer game.
I have a local server which is continuously sending the number of clients which are connected to all clients which are connected.
sf::Packet packet;
for (int i = 0; i < clientCounter; i++) {
packet << clientCounter;
if (clients[i].send(packet) == sf::Socket::Status::Done) {
std::cout << "Package send..." << std::endl;
}
}
packet.clear();
The problem now is, that this works perfectly:
void recieveClients() {
sf::Packet packet;
socket.receive(packet);
packet >> playerCount;
std::cout << playerCount << std::endl;
}
while (!gameRunning) {
clientReciever = std::thread(&recieveClients);
clientReciever.join();
window.clear(sf::Color::White);
//window.display();
}
But when I remove the comment at //window.display the package which I am recieving is wrong.
Without the window.display every client gets, when I have for example 4 clients connected, the package with the number 4. But with the window.display, client 1 gets the number 1 client 2 gets the number 2 client 3 gets number 3 and client 4 the number 4, you know what I mean.
So it seems that the package doesn't get updated when I'm displaying the window.
