How to implement a common step where I need to roll 2 dice

[stefano]

Hello,

where can I read an example of creating a common initial step where I need to roll 2 dice and position 2 tokens depending on the result of the dice?
The roll must be common to all the players, un-repeatable (e.g. if I press F5) and the result must be applied to all players.

I'm trying to implement the game snowtime.

Thanks

This is quite simple actually, you just need a gamestate that will do the roll on the backend by taking a random value, and then dispatch notifications to all players to do the animations on the client of players.

Would you mind giving me some snippets of code?

I'm using this member, but I'm getting different results for the players:

function argPlaceFruit()
{
$result1 = rand(1, 6);
$result2 = rand(1, 6);
return array(
'diceresult1' => $result1,
'diceresult2' => $result2,
);
}


2 => array(
"name" => "PlaceFruit",
"description" => clienttranslate("Rolling the dice"),
"type" => "game",
"action" => "stPlaceFruit",
"args" => "argPlaceFruit",
"updateGameProgression" => true,
"transitions" => array( "PlayersTurn" => 3 )
),

Something like this :

Code: Select all

function stRollDice(){
		$face = bga_rand(1, 6);
 		$this->setGameStateValue('diceFace', $face);
		$this->gamestate->nextState('');
	}

function argMyState(){
  return [
     'dice' => this->getGameStateValue('diceFace')
   ]
}

With a state machine :

Code: Select all

    ST_ROLL_DICE => [
      "name" => "rollDice",
      "description" => '',
      "type" => "game",
      "action" => "stRollDice",
      "transitions" => ['' => ST_MY_STATE]
    ],
    
    ST_MY_STATE => [
       ....
       "arg" => "argMyState"
   ]

Working now... the trick was to do it into the "st" function and not in the "arg" one... I used one single state in the machine, passing the value from st to arg function using the global labels
