Hi,

anybody can give me a hint how to get dynamic “rooms” for clients to join? (via room-ids)
Server-Side its something like this:


// attach Socket.io to our HTTP server
io = socketio.listen(server);

// handle incoming connections from clients
io.sockets.on('connection', function(socket) {
    // once a client has connected, we expect to get a ping from them saying what room they want to join
    socket.on('room', function(room) {
        socket.join(room);
    });
});

// now, it's easy to send a message to just the clients in a given room
room = "abc123";
io.sockets.in(room).emit('message', 'what is going on, party people?');

// this message will NOT go to the client defined above
io.sockets.in('foobar').emit('message', 'anyone in this room yet?');

but how to do the client-side via Blueprints?
Client-Side:



 // set-up a connection between the client and the server
var socket = io.connect();  
// let's assume that the client page, once rendered, knows what room it wants to join
var room = "abc123";  
socket.on('connect', function() {    
// Connected, let's sign-up for to receive messages for this room    
socket.emit('room', room); });  
socket.on('message', function(data) {    
console.log('Incoming message:', data); });

Thanks in advance for help :slight_smile:
