Creating your own packet type is easy, but to make it even easier i would simply copy and paste one of the pre-existing packets, and modify it to your own.
First, here are some simple rules about creating a packet.
- A packet must inherit Packet
- A packet must have a constructor, taking in a string and passing it to base.
Here is the definition for the TestPacket:
public class TestPacket : Packet<TestPacket>
{
public string testString;
public TestPacket(string packet_name) : base(packet_name){}
public override TestPacket OpenPacketFromMessage(NetIncomingMessage msg)
{
TestPacket packet = new TestPacket(packet_identifier)
{
testString = msg.ReadString()
};
return packet;
}
public override NetOutgoingMessage PackPacketIntoMessage(NetOutgoingMessage msg, TestPacket packet)
{
msg.Write(packet.testString);
return msg;
}
}
