AuthoritativeLobbyClient¶

Inherits: BlaziumClient < Node < Object

Node for connecting to the Blazium Lobby service. Offers authoritative lobby making features.

Description¶

The AuthoritativeLobbyClient node provides an interface for connecting to the Blazium Authoritative service. There is a free instance hosted on the blazium.app domain that is used by default.

The normal flow is as follows:

Listen to all the signals you are interested in.
Connect to the server using connect_to_lobby method.
Call any other methods to create, view or join lobbies, as well as add data to them.
Close the session using disconnect_from_lobby method at the end of the game.

Note: Some methods are non blocking and can be awaited in order to get the result.

There are also members on this class that are automatically updated as the lobby gets updated, such as:

peer: The current peer. Reflects changes to the self peer.
peers: The lobby peers. Reflects changes to all peers.
lobby: The lobby. Reflects changes to the lobby.
peer_data: The current peer private data.

Note: The main difference between this service and the non authoritative LobbyClient are:

The host cannot set any data or notify peer_disconnected.
The received_lobby_data signal doesn't have the is_private parameter.
