Silly me... I am tired, just found out the solution
std::string updateHost()
{ string b;
while (enet_host_service (server, & event, 100) > 0)
{
switch (event.type)
{
case ENET_EVENT_TYPE_RECEIVE:
b=reinterpret_cast<char*>(event.packet->data); //I transfer packet
data in string b
textprintf_ex(screen, font, 30, 300, white,-1,"Un packet pe care scrie %s
",b.c_str()); // I show the data on screen
enet_packet_destroy (event.packet); // destroy packet
return std::string(b); //return the string so I can work
with it
break;
}
}

Subject: Re: [ENet-discuss] Problem partailly solved
Indeed it does not send any data... Now I have another issue:
How can I make a function like
char* updateHost()
{string* b;
while (enet_host_service (server, & event, 100) > 0)
{ switch (event.type)
{ case ENET_EVENT_TYPE_RECEIVE:
b=reinterpret_cast<char*>(event.packet->data);
enet_packet_destroy (event.packet);
return b;
break;
}}}
I need to call from the main program the function like this:
if (updateHost()=="connected")
{cout>> Client connected !}
I practically want to return whatever packet a client/server sends me...

No packet is being sent indeed.
The peer->data is a local pointer that only 'lives' at the computer that
defines it. Nothing is send; you need packets for that. It's just to associate
computer-local data with the peer (a peer is a computer, not a packet).
