joinRoomInRange API with Corona Labs doesn´t work‏

Question

Hello,

 

I´m trying to make a test project with Corona Labs and your AppWarp Service. I created a room with client 1 and tried to join that room with client 2.

But client 2 can´t find the room created by client 1.

 

I´m using the following code to create a room:

appWarp.createRoom (tostring(os.clock()), USER_NAME, 2, nil)

 

and the following code to join a room:

 appWarp.joinRoomInRange(1, 2, false)

 

 

Why client 2 can´t find the room created by client 1?

 

Thanks and best regards,

Alexander

Answer 1

joinRoomInRange(1, 2, false) 

means that there must already be at least 1 user in the room and at most 2. After you create the room, there are 0 players in it. So the above API will fail. The client who creates the room should join it using the roomId. The second client can then do joinRoomInRange(1, 1, false).

Please see the following corona example which does the above process -
