Forum ‹ VB .Net ‹ Select Case statement not permitted?

[Cyclone103]

Code: Select all

Select Case message.Type.ToString
            Case "Moved"
           
        End Select


This amount of code is apparently not permitted. Error thrown:

ServerSideGameCode.SagaMountain.GotMessage(...) uses the non-allowed method: System.Int32 Microsoft.VisualBasic.CompilerServices.Operators::CompareString(System.String,System.String,System.Boolean)

If I comment out the Case line, it all works, but I need that case statement...

I know I can use If/then just as easily, but Select Case makes more sense (For anyone who doesn't know VB, Select Case is the equivalent of "Switch" statements in most languages.)

[Cyclone103]

Actually, scratch that. Comparisons in general aren't permitted apparently.

Here is my entire overridden sub:

Code: Select all

    Public Overrides Sub GotMessage(ByVal player As SagaMountainPlayer, ByVal message As PlayerIO.GameLibrary.Message)
        MyBase.GotMessage(player, message)
        If message.Type.ToString = "Moved" Then
            'If message.GetString(0).ToString = "Up" Then
            'player.location.Y -= 1
            'End If
            Broadcast("UserMoved", player.location.Y, player.location.X)
        End If
    End Sub

The comments were to try and see what part was causing the error, then I realized any comparison at all throws it. I even tried creating a string with the value Moved, and tried comparing the two, but the same error was thrown.

PLEASE add Microsoft.VisualBasic.CompilerServices.Operators to the whitelist so I can get this working.

Thanks!

The first time you said you wanted vb support, i thought you were joking...

Now i know you were deadly serious

I'll see about extending ze whitelist.

[Cyclone103]

Haha lol


Yeah, I really do want VB, I just can't stand C#. Thanks for adding that lol!

[Oliver]

The whitelist has been extended with the classes from VB CompilerServices we deemed necessaryfor VB game programming.

The changes will be pushed in the next release. Please let us know if you find more issues.

[Cyclone103]

Cool! When is the next release planned for? I want to get this game going

[Oliver]

Monday

[Cyclone103]

Good, time to go make amazing graphics.

Thanks so much!

[Oliver]

It's out

[Cyclone103]

Awesome, thanks! Time to go test and hopefully not break.

[Cyclone103]

Could not load type 'Microsoft.VisualBasic.CompilerServices.Operators' from assembly 'SagaMountainServer, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'.


It also appears my overridden GotMessage subroutine is never being called:

Code: Select all

Public Overrides Sub GotMessage(ByVal player As SagaMountainPlayer, ByVal message As PlayerIO.GameLibrary.Message)
        MyBase.GotMessage(player, message)
        Select Case message.Type
            Case "Moved"
                Select Case message.GetString(0)
                    Case "Up"
                        player.location.Y -= 1
                End Select
                Console.WriteLine(message.GetString(0))
                Broadcast("UserMoved", player.location.Y, player.location.X)
        End Select
        Console.WriteLine(message.Type)
    End Sub

I never see the message type, no matter what the message contains.


Additionally, try/catch statements aren't allowed as well.

Zip and send me the project? e-mail is my name at player.io

[Cyclone103]

Sent. Thanks for taking a look Oliver!

[Cyclone103]

Oh yeah, and when a player joins my game, THAT PLAYER receives the UserJoined message twice, and that executes twice. I will probably find some way to fix this myself though, should be easy enough.

[Toby]

I found the solution.


...Use c#

[Cyclone103]

Nothx

[Cyclone103]

Ah lovely,

Code: Select all

SocketConnection.ReceivedBytes ERROR: Object '/eef03342_b28f_46de_9b28_495a8ffbdab7/p4xhirlqzkivdoi_ylheqjsg_17.rem' has been disconnected or does not exist at the server., Appdomain: Test Server Project.vshost.exe

I get this every few connects, it refuses to send the hello message. This is in the actual dev server console.

[Oliver]

We've found and fixed the main issue; it will be in the next release, but i'm also e-mailing you a special dev server that will work right now.

We couldn't replicate that, but we only tried to replicate it after having fixed the first issue -- so our thinking is that it was caused by the first issue.

SocketConnection.ReceivedBytes ERROR: Object '/eef03342_b28f_46de_9b28_495a8ffbdab7/p4xhirlqzkivdoi_ylheqjsg_17.rem' has been disconnected or does not exist at the server., Appdomain: Test Server Project.vshost.exe

Know issue: we're looking into it.

[Cyclone103]

Thanks Oliver! Works like a charm, thanks for identifying the issue.

I figured the second thing out, it was a small problem with my coding (I fixed it)

Okay, that last one isn't really too much of a problem.
