I noticed that when you look at the vbgore client/server source code there is a new object called GOREsockClient, im curious , how did they make that? ive been looking for 2 months now , how to make objects , with their own properties . and events , and user friendly so i dont have to enter the same code each time i want to use it. it would be awsome if somone could help me out with this as i have been stuck for quite a while and it is putting my game off quite a bit at least 2 months now.

Thank you for your time

All the code for the GOREsock is in the download, under the Code (or is it Source?) directory I believe it is called.

Alright im gonna go look into that
TY

ok i get the basic idea , but the syntax slips past me a bit , like for example what does



mean?
can you please give me a simple example? i think a winsock app like the goresock is a little bit advanced for me.

Thank you for your time

An #if/#end if block is a compiler conditional. If the conditional passes (is true), it will be part of the code that gets compiled. If it is false, it won't. Having it always false, like that block does, is basically as if the code was never there. Why it is there, I am not sure.

Debug purposes? @_@

but whats true and whats false? theres no condition in there , only False

well in a normal if, the result of the check always returns true OR false,
depending on the condition.

if false then: always false, will NEVER execute
if true then : always true, will ALWAYS execute

but whats false? for example



see? but in the code



there is no condition , what is it checking is false?
and what doesmean? is that because it is in general? and why does it only declare
those 2 if the non existing statement is false? and what data type are they?

this code is in the GOREsock source code

Thank you for your time

ALL if/then statements break down to booleans. This is the case in every single major programming language as far as I know. For example, with the code you posted, the it checks if k = 1. If k does = 1, then the result is True. If not, the result is False. So you can have "If False Then"... and it is a perfectly acceptable piece of code.

So in the precompiler conditional, "#if False then", its not checking against anything. You don't have to check against something for an if/then statement. Doing so is often pointless, but its perfectly acceptable. Similarly, you can write if/then statements with just constants.



This is the same as if you were to write:

To the original post, if I understand your question: You want to create your own libraries?

Visual Basic 6 supports different ways to do that. At the most basic level, within your program code you'll want to add a file of type class. (The GORESockClient is a control, which would get more complicated to explain.) That adds a Class1.cls file to the project, which you can save to whatever friendly name you want. Then you can add things like Get and Set properties and subs and functions as much as you want. Just make them a Public function, etc. to see them when you reference it from elsewhere. In the server program code, UserStats.cls is a good example.

If you just want your own functions, it is simpler to add a .bas code module and make public functions.

If none of what I typed made any sense, then you may want to give yourself a crash course in VB programming before you dive in any further.
