Questions about changing player order and active player

Hi,
I've seen no real documentation/message about that:
- how to changer player order? By changing the player_no directly in the database?
- after changing the player order, how to say that the active player is the new first one? Using "$this->gamestate->changeActivePlayer( $player_id )"? I'm not sure on this point and i see no global game variable that contains active player.
- any advice to the check whether it's the last player turn in a 'game' type state? I need this to check whether i begin a new "round" in the game.
Thanks

For your information, the solution i finally use:
Code: Select all
$playersBasicInfos = self::loadPlayersBasicInfos();
$activePlayerId = self::getActivePlayerId();
$activePlayerNumber = $playersBasicInfos[$activePlayerId]['player_no'];
$playersNumber = self::getPlayersNumber();
if ($activePlayerNumber == $playersNumber) {
// Last player
$this->gamestate->nextState( 'endTurn' );
} else {
// Activate next player
$player_id = self::activeNextPlayer();
self::giveExtraTime( $player_id );
$this->gamestate->nextState( 'nextPlayer' );
}

Hi,

No, you're not supposed to change player_no in the database. But you can create another column "player_order" in the same table for your needs.
- after changing the player order, how to say that the active player is the new first one? Using "$this->gamestate->changeActivePlayer( $player_id )"? I'm not sure on this point and i see no global game variable that contains active player.
Yes, you should use changeActivePlayer. BGA framework is providing easy-to-use methods for most common needs (ex: activeNextPlayer), but if you want to active player in a custom order you must use your own logic and finally changeActivePlayer.
Cheers,
