Create a room asynchronously

colyseus-issue.zip

As explain on the Discord, there is an issue when a room is created asynchronously. The issue is that in the unity client, the function GetAvailableRooms() returns all the rooms but without metadatas nor any other param like maxClients. I link a .zip which contain a reproduction scenario. I tried with promises promise().then({ CreateRoom }), with async/await, and I also tried to set OnCreate async and the result is the same.

My aim was to load a configuration file before creating the room, and configure the room from the data loaded.

Hi @Lucidarme,

I’ve checked your sources and the problems seems to be because maxClients is parsed as string when coming from the XML file. Whereas when you set it manually, it is a number.

If you use parseInt(res.room.maxClients || 6) it works. I think this is more of a type definition issue, as res.room.maxClients is interpreted as any

Perhaps we should throw an error if this.maxClients is anything other than Number

Hi @endel

You are right, and it’s the same thing for publicName, I had to parse it to string to make it work. Yes an explicit error could be fine, it may save lot of time !

Thank you for your help !
