Delayed Connection and Login

lordzardeck · Post by **lordzardeck** » 03 Sep 2011, 20:26

What if I don't want a user to connect till they are ready to login? That way I don't get people just bringing up the game and using one of my limited connection slots? Is there anyway to delay connecting until logging in? I know I could add a onConnection Event listener that logs you in, but how would I remove that event listener so that if I get disconnected and try to re-connect that it doesn't call the login listener again?

hi. Well, i think that the limit is the number of logged users, not the number of users that are just connected

Actually, it says # of CCU's are equal to the number of connections

I don't get it.

You want user to login but don't want him to connect to server :S

How would this happen?

He need to interact with something to validate his user/password?

It either socket server or http server.

In casse you choose http server, then don't connect until he login?

I don't see where the problem is?

Sorry

Not quite. I don't want to connect to the server until he actually ATTEMPTS to log in. for example:

Code: Select all

public function login(username:String, password:String):void
{
	//do connection
        //do login
}

Well, CCU's stands for Concurrent Users, and a player only becomes an user after a successful login

Anyway, I don't understand where the problem is.

In your login function, you simply first load the config by using the loadConfig() method of the SmartFox class, which automatically connects after successfully loading the config file.

Then, you listen to the CONNECTION event and there, you send a login request (if the connection was successful, of course).
