I remember looking into Photon Cloud a while back.

Does the Construct 2 version of the plugin have compatibility with mobile platforms when exporting for android and iOS?

This sounds great! I do not currently have use for this plugin, but I will play around with it since an official Photon plugin brings so many possibilities.

And as with Astro I would also like to know. Also if if the plugin supports minification.

Great! Another back end services.

Thank you so much for this plugin!!

Please keep supporting it, I am very interested in additional features!

Yes, please, keep it up!

There are some errors in edittime.js. The id of expressions are all 0.

[quote:ivfq2a98]AddExpression(0, ef_return_number, "ErrorCode", "Client", "ErrorCode", "Last error code.");

AddExpression(0, ef_return_string, "ErrorMessage", "Client", "ErrorMessage", "Last error message.");

AddExpression(0, ef_return_number, "State", "Connection", "State", "Current client state.");

AddExpression(0, ef_return_string, "StateString", "Connection", "StateString", "Current client state string.");

....

They should be unique numbers like action id and condition id.

Astro DatapawWolf We updated plugin with minification issues resolved (all were for calling Photon lib from minified code). Will test export to mobile platforms soon.

rexrainbow Thanks for code check. I postponed setting constants in AddExpression because this does not has any effect at first sight (do you know any?) and is not reported as error by editor. But agree, if documentation states that id should be unique, better set them properly. Will fix it.

You might test at beta version of c2. Stable version will disable this error message report.

This is great! Will test it asap. Thanks!

Could this possibly support SceneObjects which is in the PhotonCloud API?

Is there any way to call the methods from photon JS-API? : http://doc-api.exitgames.com/en/realtime/current/javascript/doc/

like setMaxPlayers etc?

There's a parameter "Receivers" in the Raise Event method, where it's possible to address a Master Client. How do I set a Master Client? Is it the first player who joins the room? I also didn't find any expressions, where I can check if player a Master or Non-Master client.

This works for native android/iOS apps or just html5?

Why only photon cloud? Photon server doesn't work?
