Hi. Welcome to the Forums!

Well, in the User object there is a method called isModerator(). This method returns a boolean which is true when an User is a moderator or false when isn't.

So, in the onUserEnterRoom() event, you can simply check if the user is or not a moderator and show or hide the badges.

thank you for the quick reply, im still kinda lost on it, ive checked the join room there isn't a boolen flag but it says false

Hi. For checking if the current client is a moderator, you need to use the amIModerator property of the SmartFoxClient class.

For checking if other user is a Moderator, you can do it on the onUserEnterRoom event, and use the User.isModerator() method.

is there a example code i could use? because ive set the moderators bade to modbadge everytime i enter it in and hide from other users my avatar wont show O.O

Code: Select all

//----------------------------------------------------------
// Handles a new user entering the room
//----------------------------------------------------------
smartfox.onUserEnterRoom = function(fromRoom, user)
{
   var userId:Number   = user.getId()
   var userName:String   = user.getName() User.isModerator()
   
   
   // Add user to the userList listbox
   userList_lb.addItem(userName, userId)
   
   // Sort names
   userList_lb.sortItemsBy("label", "ASC")
   
   updateRoomStatus(fromRoom)
   
   // Show the user avatar
   var mc:MovieClip = avatarMC.attachMovie("avatar", "avatar_" + userId, userId)

   mc._x          = user.variables["px"]
   mc._y          = user.variables["py"]
   mc.name.text    = userName

   mc.disc.gotoAndStop(user.variables["col"])
}

[/code]

You can user some userVars for the badges.

You could use something like this..

Try something like;

Code: Select all

if(_global.myName = "YOUR NAME"){
_root.BUTTONNAME._visible = true;
}

i tried that everytime i logged in without a name the nae was test so whatever user name i set for it to show for everyone who logs in without entering a name so instead of guest_5 its the username test

[Aiidenb]

What about;

Code: Select all

if (_global.myName == "YOUR NAME") {
   _root.BUTTONNAME._visible = true;
} else {
   if (_global.myName != "YOUR NAME") {
      _root.BUTTONNAME._visible = false;
   }
}

ok i found a way around this but not thw way i have hoped, basically i make the game with al the eatures then publish then i make another button and oublish under a new name then for me i go to the one with button and normal players go to the app without button when i click it shows a avatar with the hair i like and the mod badge. also the game yoville have made it when ever someones mod level goes higher then 1 they get a mod badge on their name tag

ive done some testing i understand now is there a certain tag i should use? like it says trace "I am a moderator in this zone" what if i chagged it to this.modBadge._visable.true

[rjgtav]

What do you mean by a tag? you simply use those methods and they return either true or false, it is as simple as that.

They return true when you or the user is a moderator and false when you aren't. simple
