Send a new argument to a player

[MRegnard]

Hi!

I am creating a new player's argument, called "alignment", and I want to send this to a player.

1. When I edit this argument for the player, I want that this player receives their new alignment (but only this player must have access to this, in the same way as the roles).
2. In case the player wasn't seat when I edited their alignment: when I send role, I want the alignment to be sent too.

I first thought it was quite easy, first doing the second point, then copying what I have done for the first point. But I didn't find when the roles are sent. I saw there is the function "distributeRole", which edits a boolean "isRoleDistributed" in another file, and probably again another file acts according to this boolean's value. But I didn't find the end of the chain.
So, which file do I have to edit to send a new argument with the roles?

Thanks in advance

Roles are sent here: https://github.com/bra1n/townsquare/blob/develop/src/store/socket.js#L655
However, what you describe is something I would not call "simple"... rather, this would be a lot of work with the current framework, I'd say. 😬

Is it so hard? Isn't this alternative code supposed to work?

distributeRoles() {
    if (this._isSpectator) return;
    const messageRole = {};
    const messageAlignment = {};
    this._store.state.players.players.forEach((player, index) => {
      if (player.id && player.role) {
        messageRole[player.id] = [
          "player",
          { index, property: "role", value: player.role.id }
        ];
        messageAlignment[player.id] = [
          "player",
          { index, property: "alignment", value: player.alignment }
        ];
      }
    });
    if (Object.keys(messageRole).length) {
      this._send("direct", messageRole);
      this._send("direct", messageAlignment);
    }
  }

I suppose there is somewhere else where the message should be treated, but it shouldn't be so hard to edit, is it?

1. When I edit this argument for the player, I want that this player receives their new alignment (but only this player must have access to this, in the same way as the roles).
2. In case the player wasn't seat when I edited their alignment: when I send role, I want the alignment to be sent too.

The former point I mentioned is maybe difficult (and if needed, I still can give up with it), but the second point seems quite easy. Unless I misunderstood something?

EDIT: This code indeed worked. Thanks for help! 😃
