"packet.h" Can I use vector while transferring data?

[lordsas61 15]

example:
typedef struct SPacketGCTest
{
    BYTE    bHeader;
    DWORD dwIndex;
   std::vector<const char*> vString;
} TPacketGCTest;

do you think vector will work properly?

Or do you have a suggestion that you think would be well?

no, will not work unless you will not rewrite networking

same goes with std::string

Explain what you want achieve so we can talk about solutions

I would suggest using the common approach, the use of structs, as it has always been used and the reason behind the file @ "Srcs/Server/common/tables.h" for this purpose.

Of course, there are other ways you can do this without using vectors but if you're trying to send multiple data you could also consider and should use dynamic packets for this approach.

In the other hand, we can't guarantee that the size of the vector will be the same as the host and client and we mainly don't use it by its dynamic structure if the packet is static.

Regardless, I'm not saying it's not possible, in fact, I haven't tried to test this but I'm sure this wouldn’t work with static packets.

Don't forget to mention that this will not work on static packets.
