Sending a typed-array-buffer-schema model with an opcode?

[Chroma72]

So I'm using geckos.io and typed-array-buffer-schema to send game data (both are amazing libs btw Yandeu!), and I'm trying to figure out how to send more than one model through the raw channel. Best way is to use an opcode to differentiate the different packet types so you can do a Model.fromBuffer to the right Model. I can prepend a byte (opcode) to the buffer. How would you do it?

Thanks :)

I have never sent 2 models at the same time. Yes try to concatinate them with a separator. Or make a combined model?

I wonder if the BufferSchema.getIdFromBuffer(buffer) id could be used as an opcode or if there was a way to set the buffer id yourself.

more than one model through the raw channel

Instead of sending the Players model and the Enemies model as 2. Just combine them into a World model.

Something like:

const worldSchema = BufferSchema.schema('world', {
  players: [playerSchema],
  enemies: [enemySchema]
})

Still trying to figure out how to send more than one schema. Argh! :)
