Using httpobject with blocking
by SDSC ITEST · in Torque Game Engine · 09/16/2008 (2:57 pm) · 1 replies
Hello,
I would like to know how to use httpobject in a blocking manner:
ie:
%myobject = httpobject();
%myobject.get(...urlstuf);
%resstring = %myobject.getvalue();
.getvalue should block and only return once all the data has been read by the onLine function.
anyone know how to do this in Torque Script without changing the engine?
Any help would be appreciated.

But, because you're calling that from script, it means you're blocking the main thread, including processing of any input events.
Unless you've already migrated networking to a background thread, this won't work.
Why do you need to be able to do this versus using the callback approach?
