plugins for game room?

[vfang]

I'm just starting out with this stuff, but I can't seem to get a plugin to work with a gameroom -- I ended up trying to just use the basic tic tac toe example and put in an existing plugin ("AbilitiesShowcasePlugin") but this didn't seem to work. Any help?

function ok() {
//Build the game room object, then send it to ElectroServerAS for it to be created.
var gameRoomOb = new Object();
gameRoomOb.description = description.text;
gameRoomOb.roomName = roomName.text;
gameRoomOb.zone = "Lobby Area";
var pluginOb:Object = new Object();
pluginOb.name = "AbilitiesShowcasePlugin";
gameRoomOb.plugins = [pluginOb];
gameRoomOb.password = pass.text;
gameRoomOb.attributes = new Object();
gameRoomOb.attributes.allowSpectators = allowSpectators;
gameRoomOb.attributes.numPlayers = 2;
gameRoomOb.attributes.playersArrived = 1;
_parent.es.createGameRoom(gameRoomOb);
_parent.joiningGame = true;
gotoAndStop(1);

}

What happens when you use that code? Do you get an error message? Thanks!

[vfang]

No error, it just never calls the roomJoined event. If I take the plugin code out, it works fine.

Hi,

Does the server console show an error?

[vfang]

I'm pretty sure it doesn't, but I'll doublecheck on it tonight...

[vfang]

yeah, I don't get an error in the server console either.

Hi,

Its hard to guess what's causing that issue. From the sound of what you're doing it should work. Luckily though a working example is available in the latest version of the server. So you probably already have that installed. If you open the Examples html page (installed on your computer) and scroll to the bottom, you'll see Abilities Showcase Plug-in. There is a link to a FLA file that uses it. Check the Code frame label of that FLA in the joinRoom function. You'll see how that plug-in is created and associated with a room successfully.

Is there an example of createGameRoom that uses a plugin?
