I'm trying to send and receive UDP information to a localhost application and i'm a little confused and would appreciate some help please :).

I need to create a stream to send UDP information, but when I create the stream it sets up the UDP port for both listening and receiving. If the localhost application has already created the port (it uses seperate ports for send+receive) then Blitz is unable to open the stream. If I open the port first, then the application I want to talk too cant open it.

Can sendUDPmsg write to a stream that isn't opened for listening? Because everything I try seems to result in no communications with the application i'm talking too at all.

Thank you in advance for any help received.

No worries figured it out, I had actually messed up the integer IP address which is why nothing I tried worked :)

Sorry all
