    Hi @rscata,

    You can achieve this by turning autoDispose to false, and implementing this timeout by yourself. Like:

    import { Room, Delayed } from "colyseus";

class MyRoom extends Room {
  autoDispose: boolean = false;

  onLeave () {
    if (this.clients.length === 0) {
      setTimeout(() => this._disposeIfEmpty(), 5000);
    }
  }
}

    The _disposeIfEmpty method is not documented.

    Let me know if you have any suggestions to make this more intuitive. Cheers!

  • Thanks @endel

    Yes, this solution is good not to close the room, if there is no player in the room, but if in a room I have 5 players who play for example poker and by mistake one of them leave the room, how can I set an interval in which to return to the game room?
    Should I set a timeout for each client?

    I want to have 30 sec. to return to the room.

    Or, for example, if refresh on the browser page.

    In onLeave function, I implemented the destruction of the player instance, but I would like to give her some time to come back before destroying the instance.

    onLeave () {
    if (this.clients.length === 0) {
      setTimeout(() => this._disposeIfEmpty(), 5000);
    } else {
          // TODO: the player can return to play

          // remove instance
          this.state.removePlayer(client);
    }
  }

    thank you very much for your help
