[Solved] Use class properties

[0BuRner]

Hello,

I'm wondering if it's possible to use class properties on the main class of the game, like $slappingPlayers here ?
It seems not working (variable is reset at every call). Don't know if it's an error in my code or simply not working in BGA.

Code: Select all

class EgyptianRatscrew extends Table
{
    private $slappingPlayers = array();

    function __construct()
    {

I might be misunderstanding you, but it sounds like you just need to put it in the __construct():

Code: Select all

$this->slappingPlayers = array();

I already tried it. But whenever I use this variable in different method, it's empty... That's why I'm asking if it's expected or not.

Code: Select all

I have a methods like:
function playCard() {
  array_push($this->slappingPlayers, $player_id);
   // here with debug I see $this->slappingPlayers has a value
}

and

Code: Select all

function someMethod() {
  if (in_array($player_id, $this->slappingPlayers)) {
    // always returns false even if debug saw me its in...
  }
}

your issue here might be that you've called the method 'checkAction()' which is part of the framework.

I just checked my code, and all I did was declare the variable in the constructor. I think either way should be possible.

In both function examples it's not clear where local variable $player_id is being set. Did you miss:
$player_id = self::getCurrentPlayerId();

And rather than array_push, just use.
$this->slappingPlayers[] = $player_id;
to add a new element.

Note: If you use array_push() to add one element to the array, it's better to use $array[] = because in that way there is no overhead of calling a function.

Thanks, I'm not used to PHP, it's probably the solution
