Reliable Events

HumzaKhalidHumzaKhalid ✭
in JavaScript
Hi,
I'm fairly new to photon javascript, I had previously used PUN and PUN2.
I would like to know a way by which I could make my raise on events reliable or tell me some command/function in javascript to send reliable messages, just like we use RPC in PUN.
Thanks.
Regards,
Humza Khalid

    Hi,

    I found this function 
    PhotonPeer.prototype.sendOperation

    which does have the sendReliable boolean as a parameter. But, if you look at the body of that function, the sendReliable is not used. Thus, I am thinking that it is not possible to send reliable messages

    you are saying this parameter does nothing and there is no other way of sending reliable messgaes ???
    can you please point out any other way possible?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    To send unreliable messages, client has to use UDP protocol which is not supported by javascript client. Websocket connection used in js client is always reliable.

    @vadim , I know websocket uses TCP port but it seems some how my event's packets are getting lost and producing unnecessary issues in my game.

    It's very unlikely that packets are getting lost and I do not have an idea how it can happen,
    Can provide a sample app which losses packets?
