working with results

• return the original result


• return a fake result
• return an error
• alter the original result
• return something different
(affected/retrieved)
debugging

• Put a Proxy in between


• use a sensible script to see
what's going on (e.g.
tutorial-packets.lua or
tutorial-states.lua)

multiple query execution - basic rule

Even if the proxy


sends multiple queries
to the server,
it can return
ONLY ONE RESULT
to the client
Multiple query execution
 simple queue
 queue management
 interactive play
 cumulative results
Multiple query execution - simple queue
 client sends one query
 Proxy adds 1 or more queries to the queue
 The Proxy processes each result
• if the result is for the client, it is passed along
• if the result is for internal calculation, it is discarded
 The client receives one result only

 the proxy processes each result
