Is it possible to have a different PlayerTTL per player?
in DotNet
Hi!
There's a use case that seems applicable to a lot of asynchronous games and I'm not immediately seeing how to accomplish it within Photon's async api:
- in a turn based game, the current player typically has X amount of time to do their turn before giving up or being kicked.
- currently, setting PlayerTTL kind of works, but the downside is everyone times out. For example, a 4 player game with a ttl of 2 days, by the time it hits player 2 or 3, they've timed out when it's not even their turn (assuming max time to take each turn).
I was wondering if there's a way to set the TTL of an individual actor, or some work around?

Hi @onealexleft,
It is not possible to have player timeout values per actor.
In any case, I think the PlayerTTL is not enough to implement player turn timeout as the counter starts only when the actor becomes inactive.
You need to implement turn timeout manually.0 -
Ah ok, thanks for the info!0
