Solved Modal form response data values return int instead of string

I send a `ModalFormRequestPacket` to the client and the modal form shows up correctly, though when the response comes I expect a string, but I'm given an int. This the form data response in the default form it's returned in:

Code:

string(4) "[1]
"

this is after it's decoded:

Code:

array(1) {
  [0]=>
  int(1)
}

this is the code I use to send the form:

PHP:

        /**
         *
         * @param Player $player
         *
         * @return bool
         *
         */
        public function sendJoinUI(Player $player) : bool{
                $games = ['test', 'test2'];
                foreach(array_merge(
                                $this->teamTag->gameManager->getGamesWithStatus(Game::STATUS_OPEN),
                                $this->teamTag->gameManager->getGamesWithStatus(Game::STATUS_WAITING)) as $game) $games[] = $game->getGameName();
                if(empty($games)) return false;
                $form = $this->getForm($this->teamTag->getMessage('ui.join.formTitle', 'Join TeamTag', [TextFormat::ESCAPE => '&']));
                $this->addInput($form, self::INPUT_TYPE_DROPDOWN, [
                        'text'    => $this->teamTag->getMessage('ui.join.dropdownTitle', 'Select game to join...', [TextFormat::ESCAPE => '&']),
                        'options' => $games,
                        'default' => 0
                ]);
                $this->requestModalForm($player, $form);
                return true;
        }

The code I use to debug the response:

PHP:

        /**
         *
         * @param DataPacketReceiveEvent $event
         *
         * @priority LOWEST
         *
         */
        public function dataPacketReceiveEvent(DataPacketReceiveEvent $event){
                $pk = $event->getPacket();
                if($pk instanceof ModalFormResponsePacket){
                        var_dump($pk->formData);
                        //$this->teamTag->userInterface->handleModalFormResponse($event->getPlayer(), json_decode($pk->formData, true));
                }
        }

 

i think thats how it works. like arrays it counts the options.

A - o
B - x
C - o

you would get 1 as the response because B was selected.

please correct me if im wrong.

 

No... If the client chose a value it's supposed to be the same value as the one you sent. Also need this to identify a game by name...

 

They return an array of previous chain of formIds encoded in json. You need to json_decode the return value.

 

But this is already decoded?

PHP:

array(1) {
  [0]=>
  int(1)
}

 

Yeah, so your question was why they return ints and not strings. Why do you want them to return strings and what should the string contain?

 

Maybe I got the idea of forms wrong, but i intent to use the string to identify a game by name, the string should contain the name of the game the player chose.

 

Yeah it's kinda hard because of how minimal the response data is. Assign a unique ID for every type of form you will be having on your server.

PHP:

interface Forms{

    const BANMANAGER = 1;
    const FEEDBACKFORM = 2;
    const STATSFORM = 3;
}


 

Ah.. that still won't help, I need some kind of way to identify the game a player chose wether it's the name or ID of the game.

 

Maybe there's a way if I cache the player and the index/value of each form value, then I can use the int returned from the form data to check the cache and determine which value the player chose. This may be a bit bad but I'll still do it.

 

The method above worked.

 

/**
*
* @param DataPacketReceiveEvent $event
*
* @priority LOWEST
*
*/
public function dataPacketReceiveEvent(DataPacketReceiveEvent $event){
$pk = $event->getPacket();
if($pk instanceof ModalFormResponsePacket){
var_dump((array) json_decode($pk->formData));
}
}

 

I don't follow - plugins can send forms when players click anything...
