java getArg

[cora89]

hi,

i want to know in which square my player wants to put his token.
i have defined square_{X} in my .tpl page.
I want to have the X of the square where he wants to play.
Is it possible with getArg or must i find it from the (x,y) mouse position ?

thanks for your help.
Have a nice day.

Hi,

When you set up your squares on the board, you give them an id based on your coordinates.

For example in Reversi :

Code: Select all

<div id="square_{X}_{Y}" class="square" style="left: {LEFT}px; top: {TOP}px;"></div>

Then in your JS you need to attach an onclick event to your squares, so that when clicked, a specific function is called:

Code: Select all

dojo.query( '.square' ).connect( 'onclick', this, 'onPlayDisc' );

Then when the method is called, you get the id of the square through the evt parameter (evt.currentTarget.id), and you can split it to get the coordinates.

Code: Select all

onPlayDisc: function( evt )
        {
            // Stop this event propagation
            dojo.stopEvent( evt );

            // Get the cliqued square x and y
            // Note: square id format is "square_X_Y"
            var coords = evt.currentTarget.id.split('_');
            var x = coords[1];
            var y = coords[2];

           [...]
        },

Then you can use it as you need (you can find more examples and information in the Reversi tutorial).

Cheers,
Een
