Hey all,

When creating a new game, I use these settings :

 var settings:SFSGameSettings = new SFSGameSettings("foobar"+foo);
            settings.maxUsers = 4;
            settings.maxSpectators = 8;
            settings.isPublic = true;
            settings.minPlayersToStartGame = 2;
            settings.leaveLastJoinedRoom = true;
            settings.notifyGameStarted = true;

and I am able to do this to the room object :

Code: Select all

var maxUsers:Number = this.room.maxUsers;

and it works fine. However, this doens't even compile :

Code: Select all

var minPlayers:Number = this.room.minPlayersToStartGame;

it doesn't know that the "minPlayersToStartGame" variable is.

Any ideas?

It doesn't look like that is an exposed property. Maybe you could set your own room variable and use room.getVariable("...").getIntValue().

Ya....but then the question is, why is that one of the settings you can pass in if you can't even use it?

Good question. It looks like it is used in several areas of server logic. I don't know why it is hidden.

The docs wrote:minPlayersToStartGame: the minimum number of players to start the game. If the game is already running and the number of players goes below this limit the game will be stopped.

Although I am unclear as to what this really means. How does SFS start or stop a game? Is it just a flag being set or are there events we can hook?

Check the SFSGameSettings.notifyGameStarted property description in the API doc.
