How to tell who is channel op?

[LB]

I could have sworn I saw a condition "Is Channel Master" when first looking through the latest OINC, but now I cannot find it again... so is there any good way to make one person master of the channel? I've tried the person with the lowest ID but then if other people on the server leave that means the next person to join could also think they are the channel master. I was thinking about testing if you were the first one to join, but I can't figure that out. So could somone make a quick example please? Of if it's simple enough tell me how to test for a channel master?

Thanks,

It was possible to figure out at first but it got removed later on. I'm not entire sure why it was removed but I don't see why a good, useful and working feature should disappear at all.

When a channel is joined for the first time, you could send a message to say you're the first joiner and change a flag related to that channel locally. Then any further joiners don't get the update (as the flag has changed for that channel) and the game host/first-joiner has a message to say they're in charge. This message can change a value, or set a counter - then you could allow the host to pass this counter to someone else. E.g. if you click on a name and click set as host, set you counter to 0, and send the message to that player which sets the counter to 1.

Hopefully that makes sense - I was typing as I was thinking.

I guess it was removed because something like that can be done quite easily with the current features: the less additional items there are for the OINC object which don't need to be there, the less intimidating the object will be to use.

It's been completely rewritten since the first build..

OK, I found a way that works very well without sending messages:

-On channel join: loop peers
-On peer loop: add peer name to a list
-On peer loop finished: add self name to list
-On peer loop finished & Number of list items = 1: Set self as channel Master

This fixed the problem right up. However it would be nice to see the Is Channel Matser condition put back in so new users can have an easier time.
