UDP server¶

UDP sends one tiny message and does not wait for an answer. Some older tools and game mods use it to tell Cuebot "run this action".

Turning it on¶

Go to Apps > Servers and find the UDP server card.
Tick Enabled and click Apply and restart servers.

It listens on port 4242 on this computer. Other devices need Allow LAN connections.

Sending a message¶

Send this:

{ "action": { "name": "Hello" }, "args": { "user": "Bob" } }

Windows (PowerShell)Python

$udp = New-Object System.Net.Sockets.UdpClient
$bytes = [Text.Encoding]::UTF8.GetBytes('{"action": {"name": "Hello"}, "args": {"user": "Bob"}}')
$udp.Send($bytes, $bytes.Length, "127.0.0.1", 4242) | Out-Null

import json, socket

message = json.dumps({"action": {"name": "Hello"}, "args": {"user": "Bob"}})
socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_DGRAM).sendto(message.encode(), ("127.0.0.1", 4242))

Cuebot only understands "run this action". Anything else is ignored, and noted in the log.
