Control Object From UDP Socket

[iboy15]

i have an object in unity and i want to control movement via udp using visual studio 2012 (c#) i’ve test send and recieve chat and already sucess fulll and i’ve test script for move object ongui and its succes full to… and now i wan to control object transform or translate from command string that i got from udp receive but the object not moved.

here is my code on receive

private void ReceiveData() {

    client = new UdpClient(port);
    while (true)
    {

        try
        {
            // Bytes empfangen.
            IPEndPoint anyIP = new IPEndPoint(IPAddress.Any, 0);
            byte[] data = client.Receive(ref anyIP);

            // Bytes mit der UTF8-Kodierung in das Textformat kodieren.
            string text = Encoding.UTF8.GetString(data);

        switch (text)
        {

        case "loc+x" :
        {
            satelit.transform.Translate (speedloc,0,0 * Time.deltaTime);
            break;
        }

        case "loc-x" :
        {
            satelit.transform.Translate (-speedloc,0,0 * Time.deltaTime);
            break;
        }

        }

            // Den abgerufenen Text anzeigen.
            print(">> " + text);

            // latest UDPpacket
            lastReceivedUDPPacket=text;                                                                                                                    

            // ....
            allReceivedUDPPackets=allReceivedUDPPackets+text;

        }
        catch (Exception err)
        {
            print(err.ToString());
        }
    }
}

the string that i send is received but the object stil didn’t move

First of all, check if you’re entering the case labels. It’s a common mistake that there might be some additional spaces / line feeds at the beginning or at the end of your string.

Another thing that doesn’t make much sense are your two translate lines:

satelit.transform.Translate (speedloc,0,0 * Time.deltaTime);

You only multiply the last element by Time.deltaTime which is “0”. Since this line is only executed once when you receive a package, it makes no sense to use Time.deltaTime at all.

Finally is your “ReceiveData” method running on a seperate thread? if so you can’t use Translate since all methods / properties from the Unity API are not thread safe.

A little bit more context would help i guess.
