Hi, I installed Felgo on 2 clients at home to learn about your Multiplayer communication and when I try to use your OneCard example, I experience following error in leader application output:

ReferenceError: message is not defined

when hitting the if line:

      else if (code == messageTriggerTurn){
        multiplayer.leaderCode(function() {
          // the leader only stops the turn early if the requesting user is still the active player
          if (multiplayer.activePlayer && multiplayer.activePlayer.userId == message){
            triggerNewTurn()
          }

Sender is not the leader and code looks like:

var userId = multiplayer.activePlayer ? multiplayer.activePlayer.userId : 0
multiplayer.sendMessage(messageTriggerTurn, userId)

console.debug(userId) before sendMessage prints a number, so its not undefined while sending

 

using ubuntu on both clients,debugbuild and I havent changed the sourcecode.

Somehow  message goes out of scope before it will be used in the else if clause. So I changed the CardONU code accordingly

    onMessageReceived: {

      var tempMessage=message

  else if (code == messageTriggerTurn){
        multiplayer.leaderCode(function() {
          // the leader only stops the turn early if the requesting user is still the active player
          if (multiplayer.activePlayer && multiplayer.activePlayer.userId == tempMessage){
            triggerNewTurn()
          }

Maybe someone can explain me why message goes otherwise out of scope.

Hi Peter,

I guess this could be caused because it is used in the callback of the leaderCode function, thus could be delayed in execution. I would have to dig into the code myself to validate this though.

Best,
Alex

Hi Alex, thank you for your response. I am struggeling right now with your messaging system from your oneCard example. Sometimes the sequential ordering messes up. I dont know if this is the expected behaviour.

multiplayer.sendMessage(gameLogic.messageSetGlobalSate, {globalState: true, userId: senderId})

multiplayer.sendMessage(gameLogic.triggerNewTurn, {userId: senderId})

Sometimes the triggerNewTurn  message reaches the other clients before the State , even if I release the triggerNewTurn after a 4 seconds Timer.

So my question is. How can I check if a message was received by all other players before triggering a new turn?

I got the fundamental concept wrong. I thought turnStarted(playerId) gets invoked online on playerIds client. So probably that messed everything up
