staticpost<T>(receiver:Null<HashOrStringOrUrl>, message_id:Message<T>, message:T):Void
staticpost(receiver:Null<HashOrStringOrUrl>, message_id:Message<Void>):Void
Post a message to a receiving URL. The most common case is to send messages to a component. If the component part of the receiver is omitted, the message is broadcast to all components in the game object.
The following receiver shorthands are available:
"."the current game object"#"the current component
NOTE: There is a 2 kilobyte limit to the message parameter table size.

receiver | The receiver must be a string in URL-format, a URL object, a hashed string or |
|---|---|
message_id | The id must be a string or a hashed string. |

staticurl():Url
staticurl(socket:HashOrString, path:HashOrString, fragment:HashOrString):Url
Creates a new URL.
The format of the string must be "[socket:][path][#fragment]", which is similar to a http URL.
When addressing instances, socket is the name of the collection. path is the id of the instance,
which can either be relative the instance of the calling script or global. fragment would be the id of the desired component.
Calling without urlstring is equivalent to Msg.url("").
Parameters:
urlstring | string to create the url from |
|---|---|
socket | socket of the URL |
path | path of the URL |
fragment | fragment of the URL |
Returns:
a new URL
