Forums Scripts & Popups sockopen / sockwrite

when you establish a connection to a socket with sockopen, do you have to have the sockwrite command inside of an on *:sockopen event, or can you just do:

sockopen name port
sockwrite name data

without having to put the sockwrite inside of an on *:sockopen

?

thanks!

You have to put it in the on sockopen event, as there is no way to know if the socket is open yet. It might not open immediately, or it might just not open at all.

You don't need to have /sockwrite inside of a sock* event. You would however need to ensure the socket is actually open before writing to it. (Hint: $sock(<name>).status)

yeah, i just worked around it and got it all working with an on *:sockopen event


thanks!
