# IT-Workz

For my assignment for IT-Workz I worked on implementing an OSC server communication system that could take questions,  send them to the game screen and display them.

To get this to work I needed 3 components, I need a server in unreal engine to listen with. I need a second device on the same network with an  OSC sender to send the necessary information and I need a (wifi) network 

For the unreal engine side i used the following setup:

It consists of creating the server, having an event when a message comes in and handling this event. \
the way it's handled currently makes it so if you send the text "hide", it hides the question screen. any other text gets displayed on the in-game screen.&#x20;

Next i'd need to set up the sending client. For this purpose i decided to use "Bitfocus Companion" it has an easy to use open source program which is made for OSC and could be extended to use with a streamdeck for ease-of-use

Currently you have to manually fill in the question and send this, however in a next version it can use a global variable instead, so you can set the variable from anywhere to be the question and don't need to constantly adjust the buttons.
