gamestate label issue

[RichardSPeters]

Code is currently in ALPHA state and yesterday could start game no issues. This morning when starting up I get

Unexpected error: Propagating error from gameserver 1 (method: createGame): Fatal error during numbabeta setup: Unknown gamestate label: numbaValue (reference: GS1 07/07 00:05:15) (reference: GS0 07/07 00:05:15)

In my Game.php I have

Code: Select all

    public function __construct()
    {
        parent::__construct();
        $this->initGameStateLabels(
            [
                "numbaValue" => 0
            ]
        );

and

Code: Select all

    protected function setupNewGame($players, $options = [])
    {
        $this->playerCardsInHand->initDb(array_keys($players), initialValue: 0);

        // Set the colors of the players with HTML color code. The default below is red/green/blue/orange/brown. The
        // number of colors defined here must correspond to the maximum number of players allowed for the gams.
        $gameinfos = $this->getGameinfos();
        $default_colors = $gameinfos['player_colors'];
        $query_values = [];

        $this->setGameStateValue('numbaValue', random_int(1, 6));

If I remove the line of code "$this->setGameStateValue('numbaValue', random_int(1, 6));" then game starts up, reinstate it and I get

Unexpected error: Propagating error from gameserver ...

Very confusing...

Any suggestions thoughts greatly appreciatted

Issue was with how my intpretation of how game state lables work. Assumed that when they are initated i.e.

Code: Select all

public function __construct()
    {
        parent::__construct();
        $this->initGameStateLabels(
            [
                "numbaValue" => 0
            ]
        );

the the value uased, "0", is the default value - WRONG it's a label and must be between 10 and 89 - see this for more details : https://en.doc.boardgamearena.com/Main_ ... :_Game.php

Don't hesitate to use $this->bga->globals that are easier to use, return proper typing, and can store more than numbers
And btw use bga_rand for random ints.
