No... mod_pubsub does not have any way to comput new state. It just transfers the state to the listeners. If you want private state, with a master control program computing new global state, you can also do that - each participant reads/writes to their own space of resources, the mcp listens then computes and updates each players resource space (who then get instantly notified). If there is a resource that is logically shared (maybe read-only, like the weather) then you can bypass the mcp and just have every one listen to the weather (and have a bot algorithmically change the weather - perhaps influenced by spells... ) |
