<description >
Binds this [PacketPeerUDP] to the specified [code]port[/code] and [code]address[/code] with a buffer size [code]recv_buf_size[/code], allowing it to receive incoming packets.
If [code]address[/code] is set to [code]"*"[/code] (default), the peer will be bound on all available addresses (both IPv4 and IPv6).
If [code]address[/code] is set to [code]"0.0.0.0"[/code] (for IPv4) or [code]"::"[/code] (for IPv6), the peer will be bound to all available addresses matching that IP type.
If [code]address[/code] is set to any valid address (e.g. [code]"192.168.1.101"[/code], [code]"::1"[/code], etc), the peer will only be bound to the interface with that addresses (or fail if no interface with the given address exists).

Calling this method connects this UDP peer to the given [code]host[/code]/[code]port[/code] pair. UDP is in reality connectionless, so this option only means that incoming packets from different addresses are automatically discarded, and that outgoing packets are always sent to the connected address (future calls to [method set_dest_address] are not allowed). This method does not send any data to the remote peer, to do that, use [method PacketPeer.put_var] or [method PacketPeer.put_packet] as usual. See also [UDPServer].
2020-10-15 16:10:32 +08:00
[b]Note:[/b] Connecting to the remote peer does not help to protect from malicious attacks like IP spoofing, etc. Think about using an encryption technique like SSL or DTLS if you feel like your application is transferring sensitive information.

2019-06-22 07:04:47 +08:00
Joins the multicast group specified by [code]multicast_address[/code] using the interface identified by [code]interface_name[/code].
2019-06-20 17:36:32 +08:00
You can join the same multicast group with multiple interfaces. Use [method IP.get_local_interfaces] to know which are available.
2019-11-25 22:01:44 +08:00
Note: Some Android devices might require the [code]CHANGE_WIFI_MULTICAST_STATE[/code] permission for multicast to work.

Enable or disable sending of broadcast packets (e.g. [code]set_dest_address("255.255.255.255", 4343)[/code]. This option is disabled by default.
2019-11-25 22:01:44 +08:00
Note: Some Android devices might require the [code]CHANGE_WIFI_MULTICAST_STATE[/code] permission and this option to be enabled to receive broadcast packets too.

Sets the destination address and port for sending packets and variables. A hostname will be resolved using DNS if needed.
2019-11-26 00:36:09 +08:00
Note: [method set_broadcast_enabled] must be enabled before sending packets to a broadcast address (e.g. [code]255.255.255.255[/code]).

<method name= "wait" >

2021-03-27 00:56:08 +08:00
Waits for a packet to arrive on the bound address. See [method bind].
2020-10-15 16:10:32 +08:00
[b]Note:[/b] [method wait] can't be interrupted once it has been called. This can be worked around by allowing the other party to send a specific "death pill" packet like this:
2020-11-01 01:54:17 +08:00
[codeblocks]
[gdscript]
socket = PacketPeerUDP.new()
# Server
socket.set_dest_address("127.0.0.1", 789)
socket.put_packet("Time to stop".to_ascii())
2020-10-15 16:10:32 +08:00
2020-11-01 01:54:17 +08:00
# Client
while socket.wait() == OK:
var data = socket.get_packet().get_string_from_ascii()
if data == "Time to stop":
return
[/gdscript]
[csharp]
var socket = new PacketPeerUDP();
// Server
socket.SetDestAddress("127.0.0.1", 789);
2021-07-13 21:25:56 +08:00
socket.PutPacket("Time to stop".ToAscii());
2020-11-01 01:54:17 +08:00
// Client
while (socket.Wait() == OK)
{
string data = socket.GetPacket().GetStringFromASCII();
if (data == "Time to stop")
{
return;
}
}
