hi @Rangerz132 , by doing that you will actually have 1 client per room, so you won't see other clients neither on the server side if at any point you need to know the general picture, also it will create an entire room instance, that could mean depending your game-logic an overload of recurring data, maybe you can use a filter?
https://docs.colyseus.io/colyseus/state/schema/#filtering-data-per-client

The problem with bots is those are too game logic specific, so anyone will hardly make a bot that will be easy to move from one game into another.
The only way I can think of it, is by creating a "base schema" for the bot movement state (I mean using specific properties calle "x", "y", "z"), and then run a small method that will make changes on those properties (this will be move the bot).
For example, using intervals you can increase/decrese the x, y, z values for some specific time, then do a random to pick another property and do it again.
Now: my point is, that will get totally invalid if you have a physics engine implemented where you need to change the bot speed, or deal with gravity, friction, etc.
The easy part will be you can treat bots as any other players, so you shouldn't need to change anything on the client to make these work, just add the entities on the server and make them move randomly.

Hope this helps!

hi @zack1991 , my recommendation: since you can have the same players connected in more than one room at the time, then you can make 2 rooms:
1 - for the two players that will handle the entire game-play
2 - for everyone (spectators and players), then you can make your players broadcast to the second room their "movements" and all the information you want to make "public", that way you can have all spectators getting those updates.

Does this make sense for your flow?
Unfortunatelly I don't have any code examples for that specific case, though I have examples of users connected to more than one room, but that shouldn't be the issue for you.
Also you can check the colyseus showcase and look into other projects, or in the colyseus examples.

Best,
Damian

Re: Reldens - MMORPG Platform

New beta.18.1 was released!
Between the new features we have:

• Sounds system: now you can create different sound categories to group different sounds or music (for example environment sounds, scene music, etc.), assign sounds to any game event or any animations (in the demo you will find the scene music for the town and the footsteps as animation related sound), turn on/off general sound categories or per-player config.
• Mini-Map: small mini-map of the current scene, configurable in size and shape.
• Aggressive enemies: when reach the an enemy area it will hunt you!
• Initial scene/world selection: available by configuration when you create a new player or even after every login, this will set the base for a server selection feature and improve scalation (you will be able to easily split the game in multiple servers for different rooms).
• Other improvements in the events manager, in the life-bar configuration and some bugs fixed.

Open Source Project in GitHub: https://github.com/damian-pastorini/reldens
Skeleton App for starters: https://github.com/damian-pastorini/reldens-skeleton
Demo: https://dev.reldens.com/

I would recommend:
https://github.com/mikro-orm/mikro-orm
Or:
https://github.com/Vincit/objection.js

But none of these are Colyseus related, these will help you to access the data.

In terms of the integration you will have to do your own implementation, no matter what you choose.

Thanks! :)
