Duel's (Including sessions)

Posted by KadePcGames

So I'm trying to make a duel concept in my game
so first we have 2 objects
obj_duels
obj_player
The error i'm getting is that it's just not working!
obj_duels code:
coli with obj_player:

if gms_global_get("duel") = "" {
ask = get_string("Would you like to duel someone? (y,n)","")
if ask = "y" {
user = get_string("Who?","")
usera = gms_other_find_by_name(user)
userf = gms_other_get_string(usera, "name")
userd = gms_other_find_by_name(gms_self_name())
usere = gms_other_get_string(userd, "name")
if userf = "" {
show_message("Error! That user is not online!");
} else {
gms_global_set("duel",string(userf));
gms_global_set("duelreq",string(usere));
show_message("Sent to " + userf + "!");
alarm[0] = 300;
}
} else {
show_message("Returning");
}
} else {
show_message("You Cannot Duel At This Moment!");
}

Alarm 0:

show_message("They have not accepted your duel!")
gms_global_set("duel","");

The player code is the pastebin:https://pastebin.com/tRK5u7zC

By the way ,

Instead of

get_string("Would you like to duel someone? (y,n)","")

and then checking either it's 'y' or 'n'

You can simply

show_question("Would you like to duel someone? (y,n)")

It shows two buttons "Yes" and "No"
It returns true if the player answers "Yes" and false if "No".

You're missing some brackets around 'gms_self_name' on line 30 (of your pastebin).

Also, you might want to check out P2P messages. They're made for this kind of back-and-forth between two clients.

The error is basicly on telling the player to join the new session
