Custom Login Extension. So close! Need your help! :)

[Sparticus]

Hey all,

I am making a custom login extension. I already have it so the extension is successfully passed in a username and password, and it successfully checks to see if that is a valid user in my database.

That all works.

I do see when the extension ends it automatically fires off the "SFSEvent.LOGIN" event assuming there was no exceptions thrown.

In my "onLogin" function (whens gets called by the extension when it completes) I am passed in an "evt:SFSEvent" object. Can I add parameters to that objects somehow?

What I really want to do in the end is pass values from the database back to the client (like their current player level, etc).

I have been doing a ton of reading today and I think I might need to use the "send" method... but wouldn't that mean when tehy log in 2 responses are sent back to the client? (1 for the login successful, and 1 to tell the user their current player level).

Thanks in advance for any help you can give!

Thank you so much! I can't believe 6 hours on google today couldn't find that forum post you linked me.

[rjgtav]

you welcome. maybe the search function in the forums would have found that post

lol, ya. I did try the search on the forums but I always get tons of post that don't seem to apply.

Anyways, 1 more quick follow up question. I am now doing the following :

Code: Select all

ISFSObject sfso = new SFSObject();
sfso.putUtfString("level", "5");
sfso.putUtfString("rating", "1500");
ISFSObject responseObj = (ISFSObject) event.getParameter(SFSEventParam.LOGIN_OUT_DATA);
responseObj.putSFSObject("userData", sfso);

The above code successfully sends the users level and rating to them.

However, when someone joins a room "onUserEnterRoom" gets called. I tried to do this :

Code: Select all

trace("rating:"+user.getVariable("rating"));

and it returns null. I am guessing what I did in the first section of code was not tied to that user object?

What I need is a way for each user to be able to tell what level and rating each other player is.

Can you point me in the right direction?

Thanks

the Object your sending to the client in the LOGIN_OUT_DATA is not stored as a userVariable, so yes, it's not tied to the user - it's just one time sent data.

You should set the userVariables on the Server during the USER_JOIN_ZONE event, possibly with something like this:

Code: Select all

else if(eventType.equals(SFSEventType.USER_JOIN_ZONE))
{
                UserVariable uv_rating = new SFSUserVariable("rating", 5);
                List<UserVariable> vars = new ArrayList<UserVariable>();
                vars.add(uv_rating);
                getApi().setUserVariables(user, vars, true, false);
}

Doesn't that mean all the users will get 1 notification that a user joined their room... and then another notification that that users userVariables have been updated?

Assuming I understood you correctly, that would be 2 messages spammed to all users for every new user that joins a room. Maybe that's just the way it has to work... but I thought I'd make sure before implementing it.

Thanks for your reply.

You can either suppress the events via "fireClientEvent, fireServerEvent"
http://docs2x.smartfoxserver.com/api-docs/javadoc/com/smartfoxserver/v2/api/ISFSApi.html#setUserVariables(com.smartfoxserver.v2.entities.User,%20java.util.List,%20boolean,%20boolean)

But in this situation the user isn't yet in a room, so nobody should get notified anyway.
