Player turn?

[DargorX]

Hi there developers!

A player can be active outside his natural turn for a thousand reasons, but I need to know whose turn it is at certain times of the game.

Is there any way to know whose player's turn it is, regardless of who the active player is?

Looking at the database, it looks like the global variable number 2 might contain the value of the player whose turn it currently is, but I'm not entirely sure. I also don't know if I can access those variables.

Thanks!

There is no such thing as a turn so you have to handle it yourself

That's what I figured. I was asking mostly to find out if anyone had ever faced the same problem

For sure. Just set an internal variable to track it. I do the same thing with the first player marker in many, many games.

Thanks, I will do it this way.

as a matter of interest, isn't this the difference between, getActivePlayerId() and getCurrentPlayerId() ?

the activePlayerId() will be the player with the spinning timer awaiting their move.
getCurrentPlayerId() will be the player that sent the request, possibly outside of their turn.

So then, yes, if the active player is not the player's who's turn it is, then you'd need to track it.
