How do I Construct 2 like a Pro? Values Question

Let's keep it simple,

I have two values,

Value X and Value Y

Value X and Y can both be any number possible so we don't know how long the value will be.

X= ? Y = ?

Now we want to send Value X and Value Y as a message to the host in the multiplayer plugin.

So I ask you, How do we figure out where Value X ends and where Value Y begins?

Separate them with a token ("," generally works well) when composing the message and use tokenat() on the host side to parse out the pieces.

Could you possibly show me how you would separate them two values?

I can send the message but I keep having a problem with converting strings to values.

So it's kinda like it gets sent but then you end up with multiplayer message so the tokenat thing isn't really working out how I would of liked it to.

So peer sends message "2.13123,32.1234"

Host receives the message, saves it to a variable (or array or dictionary or instance variable ect.)

On peer message - set SavedMessage to Multipayer.Message

To get the first value as a float, use float(tokenat(SavedMessage,0,",")) - returns 2.13123 as a value.

To get the second value, use float(tokenat(SavedMessage,1,",")) - returns 32.1234 as a value

You can use tokenat directly on Multiplayer.Message itself instead of saving it to an intermediate storage variable first if you don't need the value to persist.

First off thank you so much oosyrag for all your help.

This is what I got so far,

FROM PEER

On left mouse button down.

Send message to host str(value1|value2)

ON HOST SIDE

on peer message > set global value to multiplayer message.

set text to global value

Error prints out " 1 "

But should so 1 = value 1 5 = value 2

What's wrong with this?
