Calling a move when a phase begins

Calling a move when a phase begins

[webrunner42]

instead of performing the eoy stuff in a move, you can just put it in the onEnd of annualWork.

alternatively you can make the client just auto do the move for you once it detects you're in that phase.

Is it possible to access moves inside onEnd? I wasn't able to access the method.

You don't need the move- you can just directly do what the move does. If your moves are already separate functions you can just call it

I am unable to access the move functions inside onBegin or onEnd. This is a sample phase I have:

export const testPromptPhase: PhaseConfig<SelcoGameState> = {
  moves: {
    showMsg,
    performAction,
  },
  onBegin: ({ G, ctx, }) => {
    console.log('beginning testPromptPhase')
    showMsg({ G, ctx },)
  }, 
}

This is the typescript error I get:

This expression is not callable.
  Not all constituents of type 'Move<GameState, Record<string, unknown>>' are callable.
    Type 'LongFormMove<GameState, Record<string, unknown>>' has no call

What I did for things that sometimes were automatic and sometimes werent was more like:

function doEndTurnThings(G,ctx,events)
{
//perform eoy
}
const myMove: Move<CMCGameState> = ({ G, ctx, events }) => {
  return doEndTurnThings(G,ctx,events);
};

...

// in game def
moves: {
myMove: myMove
}

onEnd(G,ctx,events){
doEndTurnThings()
}

in your use case yoiu mnay noit even need to do the move itself-:

moves {}
onEnd(g,ctx,events) {
doendturnthings(G,ctx,events)
events.endturn()
}

Thanks, @webrunner42 . That worked.
