SDLNet_UDP_Send

SDL Development
1

Hello !

I want to communicate with UDP, but I am not able to user SDLNet_UDP_Send
because of the type of the arguments. See my example:

char* mess_data;
UDPpacket *packet;

mess_data = “Hello”;
packet->data = mess_data;

When I compile, I have the message:
invalid conversion from char*' toUint8*’

Please Help !!! :slight_smile:

Hi there,

packet->data = mess_data;

When I compile, I have the message:
invalid conversion from char*' toUint8*’

try packet->data = (Uint8 *) mess_data;

this should work fine.–

this is not SDL related but anyway:

you have to cast mess_data to Uint8* (since packet->data is a Uint8*):

packet->data = (Uint8*) mess_data;
