Create a GameRoom question

[charles]

Hi,
The question is:

The client is send a "CreateSFSGameRequest" request ,
API http://docs2x.smartfoxserver.com/api-docs/csharp-doc/Index.html
said it will fire ROOM_ADD ,or ROOM_CREATION_ERROR if it has problem
BUT,
ROOM_ADD was not fired and JOIN_ROOM was fired

this is room settings :
GameSettings setting =new SFSGameSettings("roomname");
setting.MaxUsers=2;
setting.GroupId="Games";
setting.LeaveLastJoinedRoom=false;
setting.IsPublic=true;
setting.MinPlayersToStartGame=2;
setting.NotifyGameStarted=true;
setting.Variables.Add(new SFSRoomVariable("costrange",123));


I checked client has subscripted the groupId ,and the forums not find about this issue.
please someone can help me, thanks

API version 1.3.0

Sounds strange. Can we see the entire code snippet that creates the Room and how the event handlers are added?

Thanks

[charles]

thanks your reply,Lapo
I get the answer myself.

I lost to send Subscrpit Request.....

Oh, the other problem occur,
the same setting:

Code: Select all

SFSGameSettings setting =new SFSGameSettings((string)ht["roomname"]);
      setting.MaxUsers=2;
      setting.GroupId="Games";
      setting.LeaveLastJoinedRoom=false;
      setting.IsPublic=true;
      setting.MinPlayersToStartGame=2;
      setting.NotifyGameStarted=true;
      setting.Events=new RoomEvents();
      setting.Events.AllowUserEnter=true;
      setting.Events.AllowUserExit=true;
      setting.Events.AllowUserCountChange=true;
      setting.Events.AllowUserVariablesUpdate=true;
      
      //variables
      setting.Variables.Add (new SFSRoomVariable("creatorID",_instance.sfc.MySelf.Id));
      setting.Variables.Add(new SFSRoomVariable("costrange",123));
      setting.Variables.Add(new SFSRoomVariable("cost",735));
      _instance.sfc.Send(new CreateSFSGameRequest(setting));

ROOM_ADD  callback :
void OnRoomCreated(BaseEvent e){
      SFSRoom newRoom=(SFSRoom)e.Params["room"];
      print ("ROOM_ADD:"+newRoom.Name+" created success");
      print (newRoom.GetVariables().Count+",p:"+newRoom.PlayerList.Count);
   }


I was set 3+1 variables in room ,
and ROOM_ADD event work fine,
but ,when I was access the params room,
It was 1 variable, user in room was 0!
strangely,it sometimes work fine ->4 variables and 1 user.


please help me , I must be finish this game project before December...

When you receive the ROOM_ADD event you haven't joined the Room yet. So it's ok to see that it contains zero users.
You will receive the ROOM_JOIN even after that.

To check the status of Room Variables use the ZoneMonitor in the Admin Tool, select the right Room and see which variables are available

[charles]

I know that you said,
the problem alawys occur at after ROOM_ADD and before JOIN_ROOM.
I checked ZoneMonitor ,roomvariables was fine.
The variables needs to set "IsPersistent=true" or other setting?
And the other problem,
userA create a SFSGame ignore the variables problem,
userB use smartfox.GetRoomListFromGroup("Games") to find it ,but check "room.playerList" or "room.userList" ,their Count attribute is 0
and check "room.UserCount" is 1.

Should I use CreateRoomRequest to replace CreateSFSGameRequest?
Or coding server side extension additional to process room problems ?

thanks.

I think you are missing a few concepts here that are fundamental.

When you subscribe to a Group of Rooms you get the list of all Rooms inside that group.
Because you haven't joined any of those Rooms your client didn't receive the user list of those Rooms. In other words you receive a Room's user-list only when you join it, otherwise the user-list will always be empty. The Room user count serves the purpose to keep you updated about the number of players and spectators in Rooms that you haven't joined.

Similarly this applies to RoomVariables. Those values are available only to the people that have joined the Room, not those outside of it.
There is however an exception to this. Global RoomVariables are propagated to everyone outside the Room as well.

Make sure to learn the details in the docs:
