multiplayer State

Get the value of a player state identifier.

mp._multiplayerState(0)

To keep track of different multiplayer states, a kind is assigned to them. This is a value that identifies one of the states set for a Player. The multiplayer state values in your game might be defined like this:

namespace MultiplayerState {
    export const score = create()
    export const life = create()
}

In blocks, a multiplayer state kind identifier is used to make a state kind item that can be assigned to a variable or used as a parameter:

let lifeState = MultiplayerState.life

In blocks, the multiplayer state list lets you add your own custom state identifers to it. Let’s say you wanted to give players ‘gems’ as rewards during a game. When you add gems to the state list, it also adds a new state constant called gems to your project code:

namespace MultiplayerState {
    export const gems = create()
}

You can now set state values for the number of gems you give a player.

namespace MultiplayerState {
    export const gems = create()
}
mp.setPlayerState(mp.playerSelector(mp.PlayerNumber.One), MultiplayerState.gems, 6)

Parameters

• kind: the multiplayer state identifier to get the state value for.

Returns

• a value for a player state identifier.
