[SOLVED] Support for custom/not official DIS PDUs

[ivan.cuevas]

Hi all,

Very similar to this topic, I want to known if it's possible to create and process custom packets, in this case for DIS using the IG Template.

Thanks.

Hi Ivan,

First of all, you need to download KDIS 2.9.0 from here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/kdis/files/
Add additional include directory in your project to the KDIS/include/ folder.
Then you can use this:

#include <PDU/Header.h>
#include <DataTypes/EntityType.h>
#include <PDU/Entity_Info_Interaction/Entity_State_PDU.h>

// ...

int AppWorldLogic::init()
{
	// ....

	int index = Engine::get()->findPlugin("DISConnector");
	
	// check DISConnector plugin load
	if (index != -1)
	{
		// getting the DIS interface
		dis = (IG::DIS::ConnectorInterface*)Engine::get()->getPluginData(index);
        // adding a callback for all packets
		dis->setCallbackOnRecvPacket(MakeCallback(this, &AppWorldLogic::on_recv_packet));
	}
	return 1;
}

// ....

void AppWorldLogic::on_recv_packet(KDIS::PDU::Header *pdu)
{
	if (pdu->GetPDUType() == KDIS::DATA_TYPE::ENUMS::Entity_State_PDU_Type)
	{
		KDIS::PDU::Entity_State_PDU *entity_state_pdu = static_cast<KDIS::PDU::Entity_State_PDU *>(pdu);
		
		auto location = entity_state_pdu->GetEntityLocation();
		auto linear_velocity = entity_state_pdu->GetEntityLinearVelocity();
		auto appearance = entity_state_pdu->GetEntityAppearance();
		// ...
	}
	else if (pdu->GetPDUType() == KDIS::DATA_TYPE::ENUMS::Other_PDU_Type)
	{
		// ...
	}
}

 

Best regards,
Alexander
