No more appendString, appendInt, appendShort or appendBoolean. Write only append.

Hello ragezoners!

I was writting my HabboHotel emulator from sctach in java and i was bored, all the time writing appendString, appenX, appendY...

So i develop a snippet of code what do it for you, you only do...

ServerMessage.append("Hello World!");
ServerMessage.append(121);
ServerMessage.append(true);

Here is the code:

    public void append(Object X){
        try {
            if (X instanceof Integer)
                send.writeInt((Integer) X);
            else if (X instanceof Short)
                send.writeShort((Short)X);
            else if (X instanceof String)
                send.writeUTF((String)X);
            else
                send.writeBoolean((Boolean) X);
        } catch(Exception e){
            System.err.println(e.getMessage());
        }
    }

You need to add this on your ServerMessage and edit the send of the name of the var in your servermessage.


THX for read the post x)!

public void append(int x)
{
     send.writeInt(x);
}
public void append(short x)
{
      send.writeShort(x);
}
public void append(string x)
{
     send.writeUTF(x);
}
public void append(bool x)
{
     send.writeBoolean(x);
}

That's cleaner

PLEASSEEEEEEEEE

DONT DO THIS!!

I already do this thing, and trust me, is a bad idea.

when you want to check packet structures you need look the variable type, is better to see a writeInt32 (you know is a int without checking the variable)

Overloads would be better. Besides that like capo mentioned, you no more know what you're appending.

On top of that, your packet builder will become a lot slower when you do it with instanceof.

Ok! Thanks cappo and another person for the information, i am going to delete this now!
