Cannot deal cards to location

One card is dealt (from a deck of four) to each player. Then 4 cards (from a separate deck) are dealt to the center display.
I have the first part working, but not the second.
In the game.php file:
Code: Select all
$door = $this->cards->pickCard( 'doordeck', $player_id );
$cards = $this->cards->pickCardsForLocation(4, 'deck', 'cluecarddisplay');
and:
Code: Select all
protected function getAllDatas()
{
$result = array();
...
// The card in the player's hand
$result['hand'] = $this->cards->getCardsInLocation( 'hand', $current_player_id );
// Cards played on the table
$result['cardsontable'] = $this->cards->getCardsInLocation( 'cluecarddisplay' );
return $result;
}
however, when I inspect the result (by using
console.log(this.gamedatas) in the js file), I see "hand" as a card (as it should be) but "cardsontable" is an empty array.

Hi,
Try to analyse it through the database directly, I find it easier
Check that you have indeed a 'deck' location. It may come from that

Okay, looking in the database, it looks like there is a 'doordeck' but not a 'deck' location in my 'cards' db.
Here is the code in the setupNewGame method of my game.php file:
Code: Select all
$this->cards->createCards( $cluecards, 'deck' );
$this->cards->createCards( $doorcards, 'doordeck' );
You are able to create multiple locations in one DB, right?

Yes, but maybe you have an issue on $doorcards
Check that with debug info (

Why are you using createCards twice?

There are two different decks to deal from. How do I maintain two separate decks of cards in the same db?

The docomentation of the deck component explains this, at "Create a new Deck component". You will need a database for each deck, which cannot share the same name. Having 2 decks probably is not recommended if there is any interaction between the decks.
