Function PlayerData throws error

[hfib]

What I tried to do - make room and get into it, get player name PlayerClient.name() on playerJoin. File: struct>PlayerClient Function: PlayerData Arguments: no arguments Log, when tried to PlayerClient.PlayerData(): (node:1776) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: TypeError: Cannot read property 'PlayerControl' of undefined at PlayerClient.get PlayerData [as PlayerData] (file:///path/to/amongus-protocol/js/lib/struct/PlayerClient.js:47:75) at Game.<anonymous> (file:///path/to/index.js:36:19) at Game.emit (events.js:315:20) at Game._playerJoin (file:///path/to/amongus-protocol/js/lib/struct/Game.js:172:14) at Game.<anonymous> (file:///path/to/amongus-protocol/js/lib/struct/Game.js:179:18) at Generator.next (<anonymous>) at file:///path/to/amongus-protocol/js/lib/struct/Game.js:7:71 at new Promise (<anonymous>) at __awaiter (file:///path/to/amongus-protocol/js/lib/struct/Game.js:3:12) at Game.playerJoin (file:///path/to/amongus-protocol/js/lib/struct/Game.js:175:16)

Hi can you provide some code so I can see what you're doing, thanks.

import {
  AmongusClient,
  MasterServers
} from 'amongus-protocol'

const server = MasterServers.EU[0]
const name   = 'AUBot'
const name2  = '2AUBot'
const code   = process.argv[2]

const second = async() => {
  const client = new AmongusClient
  await client.connect(server[0], server[1], name2)

  const game = await client.join(code)
  await game.awaitSpawns()
  game.me.setName(name2)
}

(async() => {
  const client = new AmongusClient
  await client.connect(server[0], server[1], name)

  const game = await client.join(code)
  await game.awaitSpawns()
  game.me.setName(name)

  game.on('playerJoin', async p => {
    console.log(p.name())
  })

  second()
})()

• Firstly, name is a getter, so p.name is correct.
• Secondly, this might be happening because the playerJoin event does not necessarily mean the player has spawned, so you must p.awaitSpawn().
• Thirdly, the player sends their name after they have spawned, and the player's game data containing their colour and name is delayed until after they have spawned too, so even p.awaitSpawn() won't be enough.

Solution: I've pushed some changes so you'll have to update. If you want to specifically listen for name updates, you'll have to use the event playerData given off by the GameData component in the GameData object.

await game.awaitSpawns();

game.GameData.GameData.on("playerData", player => {
    console.log(player.name);
});

I'll leave this open in case you have any more issues.

I'm gonna close this issue now, feel free to open another if you have any more issues.
