Send a message to a single player?

[funkmeisterb]

I understand how Colyseus allows players to receive updates to a single game state.

I want to know if there is something in Colyseus that allows me to send messages to certain players but not all of them via the state.

I am coding a trivia game with Colyseus. When a player submits an answer, I want to send the right answer to ONLY him, not all other players as well. Is this possible? Am I approaching this problem the wrong way?

Thanks

Hi @funkmeisterb,

You can use the send(client, data) method: http://colyseus.io/docs/api-room/#send-client-data

The message will arrive in the onData signal in the client-side.

(This signal is going to be renamed to onMessage on version 0.9.x, I'll write and share a guide on how to migrate once its ready!)

Thank you @endel for the quick reply, this is exactly what I was looking for. I should've found it in the documentation.
