could someone please point me in the right direction because im trying to get this chatroom prg working but im using input commands to enter the message and that has 2 halt the program and wait for it to finish all the time your missing out what the other person is saying cause it doesnt pick it up yet!
i would very much like to do this on my own so no snippets plz but just a pointer on what i should use?

I posted a simple chat client into Codebase during the week. Have a look at that and see how I dealt with this problem

I was actually suggesting you just looked at the input code ... but here it is on it's own



Just repeatedly call the 'InputUserMessage' function. When the user hits the enter key the current string will be returned.

IanM, I've got a question about your basic chat code. Perhaps I'm missing something. What good is chat code that doesn't talk to anyone? Shouldn't there be some networking code in there?

What? You mean this code?

http://developer.thegamecreators.com/?m=codebase_view_code&i=93c4ade916a7e1c616c4faaf3a1b00d7

If you mean the code in the Code Snippet box, then that's just an extract from the program in codebase that I used for inputting text instead of using the input command which freezes the program.

Ah, I got it. I thought it was more than that. Thanks for clearing that up.
