Unity to Ue4

Hello,

I would like to receive data by UDP (address, port) like that script in C# in Unity.

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
using System.Net;
using System.Net.Sockets;
using System.Threading;
using System.Text;
using UnityEngine.UI;

public class Art_Net : MonoBehaviour {
	private byte [] UDP;

	string targetIP = "127.0.0.1";
	private int port = 6454;

	// receive DMX

	private Thread udpThread;
	private UdpClient udpClient;
	private bool running;
	private int universe = 0;


	public void Start() {

		target_IP = IPAddress.Parse(targetIP);
	    ipEndPoint = new IPEndPoint (target_IP, port);

		// put Artnet header into UDP frame
		UDP = createEmptyArtnetPackage ();

		// receive DMX
		running = true;
		udpThread = new Thread (new ThreadStart(receive));
		udpThread.Start ();
	}

    public void Update()
    {
        Debug.Log("Universe : "+GetUniverse().ToString());
        for (int x = 0; x < 512; x++)
            Debug.Log("Channel : "+x+" / Value : "+GetValueChannel(x).ToString());
    }

    public int GetUniverse()
    {
        return universe;
    }

	// send DMX
	public byte GetValueChannel(int channel)
    {
		return UDP [channel + 18];
	}

	//send a single DMX value  
	public void send(int channel, byte value){
		UDP[channel + 18] = value;
	 
		Socket myClient = new Socket (AddressFamily.InterNetwork, SocketType.Dgram, ProtocolType.Udp);

		myClient.SendTo (UDP, ipEndPoint);
		myClient.Close ();
	}

	//send a whole received DMX package  
	public void send(byte [] values){
		Socket myClient = new Socket (AddressFamily.InterNetwork, SocketType.Dgram, ProtocolType.Udp);
		myClient.SendTo (UDP, ipEndPoint);
		myClient.Close();
	}


	public byte [] createEmptyArtnetPackage(){
		byte [] artnetFrame = new byte[530];

		// start value 0 for each channel in the UDP frame
		for (int i = 0; i < 530; i++) {
			artnetFrame [i] = 0;
		}

		return artnetFrame;
	}

    // receive DMX
	private void receive()
    {
		IPEndPoint RemoteIpEndPoint;

		try{
			udpClient = new UdpClient(port);
			RemoteIpEndPoint = new IPEndPoint(IPAddress.Any,0);
			while(running)
            {
				if(udpClient.Available > 500)
                {
					byte[] data;
   					data = udpClient.Receive(ref RemoteIpEndPoint);

                    if (data.Length >= 530)
                    {
                        universe = data[14];

                        for (int i = 0; i < 512; i++)
                            {
                                UDP[i + 18] = data[i + 18];
                            }
                    //    Debug.Log("Data14  :" + data[14].ToString());//Universe
                     //   Debug.Log("Data15  :" + data[15].ToString()); //Net

						send(UDP);
					}

					Thread.Sleep(20);
				}
				else{
					Thread.Sleep(20);
				//	 Debug.Log("No Message received");
				}
			}
		}
		catch{
			Debug.Log ("Port 6454 already reserved.");
		}
	}


	void OnApplicationQuit(){
		Debug.Log ("Quit Playmode");

		if (udpThread != null) {
			udpThread.Abort ();
		}
		if (udpClient != null) {
			udpClient.Close ();
		}
	}
}

I want to translate that script in C++, but I don’t know use UDP with Unreal.

Someone can explain me what I have to use for do something similar ?

Thanks for your patience.

You can use this helpful tutorial about low-level udp
Also you can use Unreal internal messaging bus link text

You build UDP socket with this:

and builder return FSocket which allows to control created socket:

As you may guess you do the same with TCP

Hi, thanks for your answers.

Watching some example of code , I did this :

I just don’t know how can I pass data of FArrayReaderPtr to TArray.
I dont found doc about FArrayReaderPtr , and my intellisense is like broken with the Networking.h.

Yo,

data = *ArrayReaderPtr;

Thats all, hope that help you.
