I was exploring how to create a lobby, i used the code below but i noticed that the create_client function always “connect” (print connect) to a server if I specify any valid IP address, regardless if a server actually exist. No error is shown.
func start_connection():
SERVER_IP=#my IP
SERVER_PORT=#any port, it doesnt care
connection_thread.start(self, "create_client", null)
func create_client(_x):
var peer = NetworkedMultiplayerENet.new()
peer.create_client(SERVER_IP, SERVER_PORT)
get_tree().set_network_peer(peer)
get_tree().set_meta("network_peer", peer)
call_deferred("close_connection_thread")
func close_connection_thread():
connection_thread.wait_to_finish()
if get_tree().network_peer==null:
print("failed connection attempt")
else:
print("connected")
what am i doing wrong?
i am assuming if a peer is created, then the connection exist, is it correct?
func _enter_tree() -> void:
get_tree().connect("connected_to_server", self, "_server_connected")
get_tree().connect("connection_failed", self, "_server_connection_failed")
func _server_connected() -> void:
print("connected")
# Timeouts after like 30s, so you may want to manually disconnect after 4 seconds, if either this or the _server_connected is still not called
func _server_connection_failed():
print("failed")
thank you for the answer, i knew this approach works from the docs, but it is not exactly what i’m looking for: in fact i can only check connection to the server via the initial connected/failed signal, while i would like to perform this check at any moment i wish.
i guess i can work with this set up though

If you mean being able to check the connection status at any time
enum {DISCONNECTED, CONNECTING, CONNECTED}
func get_connection_status() -> int:
var network_peer := get_tree.network_peer
if network_peer:
return network_peer.get_connection_status()
return DISCONNECTED
I personally discourage singletons, but might need it here, so you won’t have to type this code again

that’s it! get_connection_status() is what i was looking for before.
i eventually ended up writing a working code with the signals as you suggested (so double thank you), but it’s good to know there is another way
