How to pickup a card from the deck and put it in your hand

[JCase16]

So I'm modifying the hearts tutorial that Victoria_La built. Thanks again! I'm trying to cause a player to pickup cards from the deck when a card is played. here is the playCard function. How could I modify this to pick up 2 cards from the deck?

Code: Select all

    function playCard($card_id) {
        self::checkAction("playCard");
        $player_id = self::getActivePlayerId();
        $this->cards->moveCard($card_id, 'cardsontable', $player_id);
        // XXX check rules here
        $currentCard = $this->cards->getCard($card_id);

        $currentTrickColor = self::getGameStateValue( 'trickColor' ) ;
        if( $currentTrickColor == 0 )
           self::setGameStateValue( 'trickColor', $currentCard['type'] );

        // And notify
        self::notifyAllPlayers('playCard', clienttranslate('${player_name} plays ${value_displayed} ${color_displayed}'), array (
                'i18n' => array ('color_displayed','value_displayed' ),'card_id' => $card_id,'player_id' => $player_id,
                'player_name' => self::getActivePlayerName(),'value' => $currentCard ['type_arg'],
                'value_displayed' => $this->values_label [$currentCard ['type_arg']],'color' => $currentCard ['type'],
                'color_displayed' => $this->colors [$currentCard ['type']] ['name'] ));
        // Next player

So figured out how to add cards with the pickCards funtion. However, the cards are added but they are not displayed until I refresh the page. Any idea why this code is not working to notify the player of the new cards? I thought I followed the manual on this.

Code: Select all

$cards = $this->cards->pickCards(2, 'deck', $player_id);
        self::notifyPlayer( $player_id, 'newCard', '', array( 
            'cards' => $cards
        ) );

You need a function on the JavaScript side that acts on the notification and moves the card (usually using the Stock component). It does not happen automagically.

See Hearts tutorial, look for this code:

Code: Select all

notif_playCard : function(notif) {
            // Play a card on the table
            this.playCardOnTable(notif.args.player_id, notif.args.color, notif.args.value, notif.args.card_id);
        },

So I figured this out after hunting for a while and messing with stuff. I thought notifcations were default. They are and they aren't. You have to subscribe to and build your own in the JS file.

I added this in the JS file:

Code: Select all

dojo.subscribe('newCards', this, "notif_newCards");

I added this in the JS file:

Code: Select all

notif_newCards: function(notif) {
            var player_id = notif.args.player_id;
            var cards = notif.args.cards;
            console.log(cards);
            // Draw cards
            for (var i = 0; i < cards.length; i++) {
                var card = cards[i];
                var color = card.type;
                var value = card.type_arg;
                this.playerHand.addToStockWithId(this.getCardUniqueId(color, value), card.id);
                console.log(this.playerHand);
            }
        },

And then this piece of code started working properly:

Code: Select all

$cards = $this->cards->pickCards(2, 'deck', $player_id);
        self::notifyPlayer( $player_id, 'newCards', '', array( 
            'cards' => $cards
        ) );

If you still talking about hearts tutorial it was in stNewHand function, when player picks new hidden cards, you send private notification
