Function to be invoked upon event firing.
state object literal
Object containing all of the properties specific to a player for your game - x, y, z, time, etc., whatever you want to add to it.
options.onEntityUpdate(callback(state)) Invoked each time state has been received to the client for an entity.

options.onPlayerRemove(callback(id)) Invoked when a player has been removed from GarageServer.IO.
callback function
Function to be invoked upon event firing.
id string
Id of the player who has been removed from GarageServer.IO.
options.onEntityRemove(callback(id)) Invoked when an entity has been removed from GarageServer.IO.
callback function
Function to be invoked upon event firing.
id string
Id of the entity who has been removed from GarageServer.IO.
options.onEvent(callback(data)) Invoked when a custom event is received. Custom events are merely funneled thru GarageServer.IO - acts simply as a transport to and from the server and client(s).
callback function
Function to be invoked upon event firing.
data object literal
Object containing all of the properties specific to a custom event for your game - a, b, c, etc., whatever you want to add to it.
options.onWorldState(callback(state)) Invoked once world state has been received to the client from the server.
callback function
Function to be invoked upon event firing.
state object literal
Object containing all of the properties specific to world state for your game - height, width, start, etc., whatever you want to add to it.
options.onPing(callback(pingDelay)) Invoked upon receiving a ping delay on the client - determined by the 'pingInterval' option from the server.
callback function
Function to be invoked upon event firing.
pingDelay number
The current ping in milliseconds.
options.onUpdateClientPredictionReady(callback(playerId, playerCurrentState, entityCurrentStates: [, {id, state}], inputs, deltaTime)) If using client side prediction, this callback will fire when you should update player and entity states, based on the current states for player and entities, inputs to be processed, and the delta time.
callback function
Function to be invoked upon event firing.
playerId string
The id of the player.
playerCurrentState object literal
The current state of the player.
entityCurrentStates array
The list of all entities and their current state that were invoked by the player.
inputs array
List of all the inputs to be processed.
deltaTime number
The amount, in milliseconds, between physics processing.
options.onInterpolation(callback(previousState, targetState, amount) : newState) Returns: object literal
If using interpolation, this callback should return the new state, newState, based on the previous state, target state, and percent between frames.
callback function
Function to be invoked upon event firing.
previousState object literal
Object containing all of the properties specific to a player for your game - x, y, z, time, etc., whatever you want to add to it.
targetState object literal
Object containing all of the properties specific to a player for your game - x, y, z, time, etc., whatever you want to add to it.
amount number
The "rough" percentage between frames to be used in conjuction with interpolation - the server options.smoothing is considered during the calculation of this number.
options.onReady(callback)Invoked once a client has succesfully connected to the server and received the world state.
callback function
Function to be invoked upon event firing.
options.loggingEnables console logging of all the events occuring within the GarageServer.IO client.
logging boolean
GarageServerIO.addInput(input)Notify the server of client inputs. Inputs are transferred to the server and subsequently used to determine the new player state from the physics processing. The idea here is that this call is made during each pass of the physics loop on the client.
input object literal
This can be anything as it pertains to your game - 1, 'left', 'right', etc., whatever you want to make it.
GarageServerIO.getPlayerStates() : [, {id, state}]Returns: array
Returns a list of current player states from the most recent broadcast depending on interpolation settings.
id string
The id of the player.
state object literal
Object containing all properties specific to player state in your game.
GarageServerIO.getEntityStates() : [, {id, state}]Returns: array
Returns a list of current entity states from the most recent broadcast depending on interpolation settings.
id string
The id of the entity.
state object literal
Object containing all properties specific to entity state in your game.
GarageServerIO.updatePlayerState(id, state)Notify the GarageServer.IO client of the new player state - this is intended to be used with client side prediction.
id string
The id of the player.
state object literal
Object containing all properties specific to the new player state in your game.
GarageServerIO.addEntity(id, state)Notify the GarageServer.IO client of a new entity with an initial state - this is intended to be used with client side prediction.
id string
The id of the entity.
state object literal
Object containing all properties specific to new entity state in your game.
GarageServerIO.updateEntityState(id, state)Notify the GarageServer.IO client of the new entity state - this is intended to be used with client side prediction.
id string
The id of the entity.
state object literal
Object containing all properties specific to the new entity state in your game.
GarageServerIO.removeEntity(id)Notify the GarageServer.IO client that an entity has been removed from the game - this is intended to be used with client side prediction.
id string
The id of the entity.
GarageServerIO.getId() : playeridGets the id of the client. Recall, clients are effectively players.
Returns: string
playerid string
Id of the client's player.
GarageServerIO.sendServerEvent(data)Send a custom event to the server. Use this to make custom calls to GarageServer.IO for your game.
