Question about lnet :)

Ah, OnRe is a procedure.... Hmm. I thought it was just a variable and that it was one of those times where the @ trick didn't work for the memory address and thus a pointer to it as a variable type might however that usually doesn't work with a procedure.

The problem, after looking at the code, is that you are trying to set the variable FCon.OnRecieve to a procedure - which cannot be done. The example is correct in saying that IF FCon.Onrecieve is of type procedure you could tell it the memory address of the procedure with the @.

Ignoring all of the above, whats the error message the compiler gives exactly? My suggestion coming from a pure FPC perspective would be to do

if FCon.OnRecieve then OnRe;

However this assumes that FCon.OnRecieve is of type Boolean and that, as the code indicates, OnRe is a procedure. However, this is from a FPC perspective as my lazarus knowledge is very limited.

Yes OnRe is a procedure so it doesn't return any value. Here is the code for FCon.OnReceive:

property OnReceive: TLSocketEvent read FOnReceive write FOnReceive;

I'm not sure how properties work so that's probably why I'm stumped on this


When I compile with the code being:

FCon.OnReceive := @OnRe;

It says: Variable identifier expected.

I really appreciate your help Code_Glitch, I hope we can sort this issue out because I'm this ->||<- close to having multiplayer for my game

I read this page: http://wiki.freepascal.org/User_Chan...regular_fields

My understanding from it is that the 'property' maps onto a variable of some type and that it can be used as a sort of splitter. Ie: The property can be read and it will read from a value and the property can be written to in which case it can write to another value. I only had a skim so I'm not sure how it could apply. I'll think it over and hopefully come up with a solution later this evening - hungry as ever so unable to work on it much right now

Interesting

Fixed it just forgot to do FCon.Callaction;
