player index on onUserEnterRoom

[alikapadia]

hi,

is there a way to recieve the index assigned to a user in the: smartFox.onUserEnterRoom() event, so that when a user joins a room, all the users present in the room get the index of the player assigned by the server. Actually i want to use this index for placing a player in my interface when he joins.

Code: Select all

smartFox.onUserEnterRoom = function(roomId:Number, userObj:Object)
{
        trace("ID: " + userObj.getId())
}

oh, i though tthat gave the user id and not player index , i just tried it, its returning me the userId, so like my user Id was 3 and i was the first player in my game room, then the second player to enter the room, when i getId() it, i get 4.. which is the user Id, i need the player id / player index (1,2,3... in a particular game room)

What do you understand by userId and what do you understand by userIndex?

[alikapadia]

userId increments based on users connecting to smartfox, player index starts from 1 when a user joins a room and is the first player, and for the next entering player, the value increments by 1 regardless of user id. the feature that makes it ideal for me is that it fills up empty spaces between the indexes like in 3 users, player 2 exits, the next entering player is not assigned 3 but 2

Ok, I see.
The userId is a unique identifier asigned by the server to each client that connects.
You need to manage yourself the clients connecting to a room. Just push them into an array...
