Hi,

I am making a turn based last man standing game which means that I will have to skip turns of the players who are no longer part of challenge. How can I skip turn at server side ?

Thanks

Hi Gabriel,

Will try this !

Thanks

Hi Gabriel !

I am confused with where to call this ?

in challenge events ?

How can I know the who is the next turn.. if I have this information i can simply use my logic to know if that player is still in game.

Thanks

Abhishek

okay thanks !

Hi,

I'm having a problem doing consumeTurn on ChallengeTurnTakenMessage

I have two players, and on some instances, when the player 1 takes a turn of event A, he sends the flag next_is_local in order to enable the next turn to skip and go back to that player 1 so he can take a turn of event B.

I previously set a flag next_is_local on the challenge event A to see if it should skip the turn of the next player 

Spark.setScriptData("next_is_local", next_is_local);

 Then on ChallengeTurnTakenMessage

var next_is_local = Spark.getScriptData("next_is_local");
if(next_is_local==1){
    SparkChallenge.consumeTurn(Spark.getData().nextPlayer);
}

 But after sending the Event A when I send an event B request it says it's not player 1's turn, so It seems this lines of code are not running well.

Thanks Shane,

that solves part of the problem but It still not consuming the next player's turn, seems like Spark.getData().nextPlayer is returning "undefined"

challenge.setScriptData("TEST", Spark.getData().nextPlayer);

 Tested this line both on the LogChallengeEvent A and then on ChallengeTakenTurnMessage both set TEST:"undefined" on challenge script data.

None of these examples are working for me.  I'm in a normal event (not a challenge event).  I am using Spark.getChallenge("somechallengeid") to get a challenge object, and then nextPlayer is undefined.  How do I get nextPlayer?

The API doesn't seem to give access to nextPlayer or Turns properties of a challenge, but I need both of those.

Hi Rich,

As you pointed out, the SparkChallenge object in CloudCode does not expose the nextPlayer property. You will need to store this value manually in the challenge's scriptData. I do it myself like this in both ChallengeStartedMessage and ChallengeTurnTakenMessage:

var challenge = Spark.getChallenge( Spark.getData().challenge.challengeId );
challenge.setScriptData( "nextPlayer", Spark.getData().challenge.nextPlayer );

This makes it possible to get the value even in normal events, provided that you have the challenge's ID.

I am not exactly sure what you mean by "turns properties" but I imagine you could use the same approach as above for other data.

Ahh, that's a good idea. Thanks!
