Hello I am currently making an action that is getting an online play feature soon, but I would like clients to be able to ping each game host. The lobby server has a list of active game hosts and I would like clients to be able to ping each host. I don't think it would be a good idea to send a message then wait for reply and measure time on that as that would make the client unresponsive while ping'en all the hosts. Maybe this should be a feature request?

That's exactly what I'd do. I'd sendRequestASync, which doesn't hang the app and time how long it tales to get a reply.

Awesome, thank you Mobiius When the current tasks are done, I have something good to work with

EDIT: Whoops, while searching for your command I found GetNetworkClientPing(), but this if from hosts, not clients. It would be nice if clients could ping as well, but I will just make each client connect to all hosts and get ping.

You need root rights to send ICMP requests.
