to be a player or to be a spectator

I 've been trying to get this to work... and no success at all...

int _pl = _room.switchSpectator(_userRef);

when I do this... the spectator doesn't get switch to a player.. and vice-versa when I use the other method>

Boolean inval = _room.switchPlayer(_userRef);

.... I think the server is laughing at me right now.

and the server is still laughing

.. (doesn't work.)

I see no change in the amount of spectators in the room. And another curious thing is the player id for all players is 0. ?????!!?!?!

ugh....

Is the room that you are executing the 'switchPlayer/switchSpectator' to a game room?

d3m0nlogic · Post by **d3m0nlogic** » 13 Sep 2010, 22:51

Yes sir they are. isGame="true" on all of the room in the config.xml

Weird - and the player indexes are all zero? It should automatically change when players enter/leaves a game room. May I ask what server version you have? Also, where (and when) about are you executing the spectatorSwitch method?

1.6.6 with 6.9 patch. and I do the [switch]method after the user has join the room and wants to a play a game , it then switches(or supposed to switch) spectator to player the when the user leaves the room or sends a bad card the game will kick the user to the Lobby... which I have changed to game as well.

Hm.. I'm not 100% why you're getting no player indices. Could you check your AdminTool to confirm this?

The admin tool is where I was looking....

Just to make sure that this is not a bug with the admin tool you should perform a couple of extra checks.

Invoke the switchPlayer, then check the User playerId directly, by calling user.getPlayerIndex().

Also the client should receive the event and you should be able to double check the playerId on the client side too.
