Hi,

I have a problem with multipleactiveplayerstate in my game. The problem I have is that the current player methods returns the player who played last in the other player browser. If I refresh the page everything is OK. In the state method, all I do is: In the "argMethod" I have tested some "CurrentPlayer" and "ActivePlayer" methods and the JavaScript receive the same values in both browsers tab and so in both "onEnteringState" and "onUpdateActionButtons". If I refresh the page, the "CurrentPlayer" methods returns the expected values. What am I missing. Do I need another state? Any help appreciated.

I think that's by design and BGA's wiki explicitly states to not rely on CurrentPlayer in multiactiveplayerstates. I can grant that there can be some confusion around who is current player and who is active player, but it's just the way it is.

CurrentPlayerId should only be used when answering an action of a multiactiveplayerstate, but never when entering the state.
ActivePlayerId doesn't have any meaning in a multiactiveplayerstate as there are multiple active players.
What are you trying to do?

Hi, players must do actions based on their "material reality". I have a dialog that requires to display player related elements. As stated earlier, if I'm "live" in the game both players displays the same thing but if I reload the page everything is OK... I've put some debug info in my game.php file and I can see that the "argMethod" is called before the multiplayer state method which does the setAllPlayersMultiactive().

Oh yeah, arg-methods calls are nasty. They are sometimes called after the state have been finished No idea why

Hi, since the information is not really private I send everything to every player and I filter the info in the JavaScript with this.player_id. I'm OK for this time but still curious if someone knows a better way for the future or someone else.

For private infos, you should use _private described in the doc
