so i know that there are some parameters in the rednet_message command, argument, thing, or what ever it is called (I,m not here for a lesson in vocabulary), like computer id, and Message. But can you add another parameter to a sent message through rednet.send("id","message", "param_x", "param_z")

if so how


will it work like print does when you have

A = "hi"
b = "how are you"
print(A,:unsure:/>/>

right now i want to add another parameter to a rednet_message for a remote console thing for a email server + dns server type setup for an internet like set of programs.

thank you in advance.

serialize a table then send it
there is no point in adding this and it will break some programs that rely on it unpacking properly

What you have to do is either make a table or combine the two into a string, and then separate them on the other computer.

Or you could do just

isGood = false
while not isGood do
idX, varX = rednet.receive()
idY, varY = rednet.receive()
if idX == idY then
isGood = true
end
end

thank you
that will add a lot of code to it, /> ill think of something

maybe i will just have one comp send the address to a infrastructure server then the command then some sort of end message then have the server on the other side send what ever to the client
ugh still a lot of code well ill deal with it tomorrow.
