Can you send Variables from C# to Unity?

Question

Hi there. Is it possible to send a variable form C# to Unity?

Details About my question

1 - Dont worry about the server, i already wrote it in c# so i have 2 console apps running, one server that listens to my mike, takes a word i say and creates the string i just said. then another console app that listens for that word the whole time gets that word and displays it as i say it.

2 - now that word i get with my one console app in real time, i need to get that sting (for example "jump" "walk" "action") as words / string to unity.

3 - once it is in unity, i can use those words to make my character do the things i say.

so is there a way to get that string from my console app to unity in real time? (if real time is the right word im using)

in the image i just counted randomly as an example. Now i have to get those results to unity

What do you mean by "server"? A simple TCP socket? LAN and / or WAN?

Basically yes. You can use the .NET socket class to connect to any kind of server.

Short question, short answer ;)

Why do you post your whole server here as answer? It isn't really relevant for the question and doesn't answer the question. Edit your question or post it as comment, but actually it has no relevance for the question. It's just a big (annoying) post of code.

The socket classes work almost the same on all platforms. If you wrote this server yourself, you should have no problems to write the client part in C# in Unity.

okay, yea you are right, i should have made this answer more clear, and not just puke code onto here. sorry about that I have a console app that receives strings from the server. so now in this console app, with this string, how can i get that string into unity?

Parse it? Split it? The approach is up to you. Have a look at C#'s built-in methods for dealing with the string type.

It's still not clear who's the "server" (the Unity app or your console app) and what kind of "server" you are actually using?

Feel free to edit your question and add more information to it.

It's funny, i guess this is the first time i see a 4 month old abandoned question to be revived by the OP ;) If you're still looking for an answer, improve the question.
