GM Bell

[Nickademus]

Does User.ringBell not work for the GM? I don't hear a bell when only on a host session. Only when I connect as a localhost do I hear a bell sent to everyone.

I've never heard the bell as GM. As far as I know it only pings for the player whose turn it is. I assume that the DM is paying attention all the time whilst the players' mind might wander when it isn't their turn :)

[Nickademus]

The bell rings whenever the ruleset (or extensions) call User.ringBell(). In the base rulesets, this is used for the player's turn, but it can be used anywhere.

[Zacchaeus]

So are you saying that you have set things so that it should ping for the DM and it doesn't?

[Moon Wizard]

There's no ringBell function for the GM. The ringBell function either does a specific player user, or everyone.

That's what I'm saying. I have it set to everyone, but it doesn't ding for the GM. I hear the ding when I connect to localhost (as does the other players), but the GM client gets nothing.

The GM is not a client, it's the host. The bell only rings on the clients.

Yep, the GM isn't a client. The description in the API guide pretty much says how ringBell works on clients only: "Rings a bell on the client computer, specified by user name parameter. If no parameter is supplied, then the bell will be rung on all clients."

Just ring your own bell. ;-)
