createRoom issue

[wallis2xk]

Hi,

I'd been trying to use to use the createRoom(roomOb, auto) functionality so when a room already exists calling createRoom joins you to the room. It wasn't working for me, so I had a look through the ES class and came across this in the createRoom function:



if (auto == undefined || auto == "true") {
auto = true;
} else {
auto = false;
}

which is overwriting the auto value if you supply auto as a proper Boolean. I just took out the else to solve it and is working nicely now.

Hi Dave,

I'm not sure what your problem was, but there is no bug here. The code you pasted works fine and this is a feature that is used by nearly everyone. Nevertheless, I'm glad its working for you now!

Hi Jobe,

Well, the problem I had was that in ElectroServer.as (the latest one) the createRoom function goes


function createRoom(roomOb:Object, auto:Boolean) {
//roomOb properties: zone, roomName, hidden, numbered, UserVariablesEnabled, Description
//Password, Capacity, roomVariables
if (auto == undefined || auto == "true") {
auto = true;
} else {
auto = false;
}
trace("auto=" + auto);
....

and if, for example, you go

createRoom(obj, true);

the auto variable will turn to false as it doesn't satisfy the first two conditions. As you say this is a common function, so I guess most people are either leaving the auto parameter out if they want autojoin, or setting it to false if they don't. But if they set it to true like I did, I'd imagine they'd come up against the same problem.
