Some of the basics You have sockets: true in your manifest?

Daniel ThorpOP•4y ago

No lol But, I'm not working inside my module, just using the console

Lol our wiki page is super helpful https://foundryvtt.wiki/en/development/getting-started-with-development#how-do-i-get-started-with-sockets /S

Ok, well the socket needs your module registered to be a valid scope I think Which means setting that in manifest and restarting foundry

Daniel ThorpOP•4y ago

How does scope work? Do I need to change it to scs.phaseChanged?

Calego•4y ago

You can probably use 'world' to play around Ahhhh, hmmm Good question Hold on let me check confetti

Daniel ThorpOP•4y ago

I searched the wiki and couldn't find that. I even kind of remembered seeing it before, but I doubted myself since it didn't show up

Calego•4y ago

Has to be 'module.MODULE_ID' I think

Daniel ThorpOP•4y ago

The stub answered those questions https://github.com/VanceCole/macros/blob/master/sockets.js

(it's not helpful to say 'lol just use socketlib' whoops) Oh good we linked to vance

I think it's a bit complicated to use sockets for what I'm doing since I just remembered my trick with high-jacking the settings update hook It's easier

Hijacking settings is legit

Daniel ThorpOP•4y ago

game.settings.set("scs", "currentPhase", val);
Hooks.on("updateSetting", setting => {
  if (setting.data.key === "scs.currentPhase" && !game.user.isGM) {
    // Do something for player clients
  };
});

game.settings.set("scs", "currentPhase", val);
Hooks.on("updateSetting", setting => {
  if (setting.data.key === "scs.currentPhase" && !game.user.isGM) {
    // Do something for player clients
  };
});

You can put this on the settings' onChange instead of using the hook if you want That's how I do in GM screen

Daniel ThorpOP•4y ago

I don't have access to the same variables there
