Forum ‹ Multiplayer ‹ RoomData save problem

[Swoopjockey]

Hi there, I'm trying to use RoomData to control whether or not a room is joinable (instead of relying on Visible). The reason is because I want players in the Lobby to see all current rooms, even if they can't join them. For some reason though, RoomData.Save() does not seem to be working.

Here is my AS3 Lobby.as code:

Code: Select all

                    if (PlayerCount >= 4)
                    {
                        //Visible = false;
                        RoomData["closed"] = "yes";
                        RoomData.Save();
                    }

Here is my C# code:

Code: Select all

                    if (PlayerCount >= 4)
                    {
                        //Visible = false;
                        RoomData["closed"] = "yes";
                        RoomData.Save();
                    }

....

            gameStarted = true;
            //Visible = false;
            RoomData["closed"] = "yes";
            RoomData.Save();
            Broadcast("startGame");

Whenever I run a trace of "closed" from AS3, it always returns 'no'. Is this a bug or am I missing something?

It's working for me, how are you listing rooms in AS3 ?

As fox1980 says, how are you listing the rooms?

Likewise you should look into the following to room attributes as well:

http://playerio.com/documentation/refer ... me#Visible

Direct control over who can join and visibility of rooms.

I'm not having trouble with Visible or Joining rooms. That works fine. What I want to do is instead of hiding a room that is full/closed, for it to still be visible in the lobby list BUT for the Join button to be removed. That way players can still see all current rooms in the list, but only have a Join button for open rooms.

Here is my AS3 RoomEntry.as:

Code: Select all

function RoomEntry(room:RoomInfo, joinHandler:Function){
         super();
         trace ('closed = '+room.data.closed);
         if (room.data.closed == "yes") {
         margin(1,1,1,1).minSize(40,35).add(
            new Box().margin(0,0,0,0).fill(0xffffff,.5,10).border(1,0xFFFFFF,1).add(
               new Box().margin(NaN,NaN,NaN,5).add(new Label(room.data.name))
            ).add(
               new Box().margin(3,3,3).add(
                  new Box().margin(0,0,0,0).minSize(200,0).add(
                     new Columns(
                        new Box().margin(1,0,0,0).add(new Label("- Closed -",14, TextFormatAlign.CENTER ))
                     )
                  )
               )
            )
         )
      } else {
         margin(1,1,1,1).minSize(40,35).add(
            new Box().margin(0,0,0,0).fill(0xffffff,.5,10).border(1,0xFFFFFF,1).add(
               new Box().margin(NaN,NaN,NaN,5).add(new Label(room.data.name))
            ).add(
               new Box().margin(3,3,3).add(
                  new Box().margin(0,0,0,0).minSize(200,0).add(
                     new Columns(
                        new Box().margin(5,0,0,0).add(new Label(room.onlineUsers.toString() + " players",14, TextFormatAlign.CENTER )),
                        new TextButton("Join Table", function(){  joinHandler(room.id) })
                     )
                  )
               )
            )
         )
      }
      }

The problem is that this line always returns 'no':

Code: Select all

trace ('closed = '+room.data.closed);

So rooms still show up with a Join button. The AllowUserJoin still works properly, because once a player joins a full/closed room, he is instantly booted out. But the Join button remains. Any ideas?

When i get home i'll check you code against mine, cause i don't remember how i did it but i know it's working ok for me.
This may seem obvious but you did add the "closed" to the search variables in the admin panel, haven't you ?

[Swoopjockey]

For whatever reason, it seems to be working now.
