Transfer data to another process

Scripting
1

Hello everybody.

Actually subject and problem: realize the data transmission interface between Unity3d and Qt applicataions, of course in runtime (all run on one computer).

Reason: Impossibility to creat certified non-game GUI with tables, schedules, etc.

Now i think about:

  1. Sockets
  2. Shared memory

Questions:

  1. There are any else options or technology?
  2. Witch one the easiest in realization?
  3. Work time (speed of transfer data)?
  4. Cross-platform support?

Great thanx!

Ouch sounds like you are in for some fun!

I have created tables etc in Unity GUI, its not that hard. If you are really set on QT then I would suggest using Sockets or maybe look at remoting in .net - .NET Remoting Overview | Microsoft Learn

Big advantage using the network, you can separate the GUI and Unity on 2 different machines etc. Potential for more than 1 GUI front end and all sorts of fun :slight_smile:

You will likely get some small delay between GUI and application but as long as its not a twitch game/application it should be fine.
