How to catch the event of a linked collection having an UPDATE via autosubscribe pub/sub?

[M. Brett Ansite]

Hello!

I have scoured the internet madly for this and these are the posts that seem to relate to what I'm trying to do the most:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/23791966/filtering-socket-io-subscriptions

but they don't quite touch on it.

I have 

Model Rooms

autosubscribe:['add:people','update:people']
attributes:{
     people:{collection:'people',via:'room'},
     temp:{type:'integer'}
},

Model People

 attributes: {
      name:{type:'string'},
      room:{model:'rooms'},
      status:{type:'string',enum:['frustratedWithOfficialDocumentationBeingSoFracturedBetween:HiddenGitHubs_GoogleMisdirectsOnWebsite_OldYoutubes_ConceptsReferenceWhichAreForNoReasonSplitUp','personIsDead']
 },

Now, lets say that instead of adding another person in a room (which could fire the publishAdd event) I have found that one of my people has died and I need to simply update their status

People.findOne({name:'mrHappy'}).exec(err,mrHappyObj){
    mrHappyObj.status = 'personIsDead'
    mrHappyObj.save()  //etc
    People.publishUpdate(mrHappyObj.id,{status:mrHappyObj.status})

})

So this is great for everyone subscribed to 'mrHappy' but it would be so awesome if I could find the thing that would tell the ROOM he was associated with that he was dead automatically, I don't care if whatever it is only gives me mrHappy's id, I would really like to get notified automatically. 

bonus stuff that I tried but not necessary to read.

I wrote this function in my People model but it seems very kludgy

 afterUpdate: function(updatedRecord, next)
 {
 sails.log.debug("I updated a People! derp",updatedRecord);
 sails.log.debug("key is ",sails.models[this.identity].primaryKey);
        var pKey = sails.models[this.identity].primaryKey
 var thisModelId = this.identity
        _.each(Z.getAssociationParents(this.identity), function(association) {
    // //so we now have the name of a parent model, we now have to find the id() of the parent that this
    // //NEW thing is pointing to?
    // //This is the parent that needs to be notified that he now owns a new vehicle. We have to take
    // //the socket in his room and then use it to subscribe to this change!
//                 console.log("parent model found:",association)
                sails.log.debug("parent room",'sails_model_'+association+'s_'+ updatedRecord[association]+':'+'update')
                var sockets = sails.sockets.subscribers('sails_model_'+association+'s_'+ updatedRecord[association]+':'+'update')


                sails.log.debug("child room",'sails_model_'+thisModelId+'_'+ updatedRecord[pKey] +':'+'update')
                var deleteMeSocketsInChild = sails.sockets.subscribers('sails_model_'+thisModelId+'_'+ updatedRecord[pKey] +':'+'update')
               
                sails.log.debug("sockets in parent:", sockets, "child:",deleteMeSocketsInChild)
               
                for(var s in sockets)
                {
                    var sock = sails.io.sockets.socket(sockets[s]);
 
 //TODO !! send the subscribe method the needed primary key object
                    sails.models[thisModelId].subscribe(sock, Z.subscribePluralizer(pKey,updatedRecord[pKey])); //TODO - get the primary key as the last paramater to this function (updaterd record
 sails.log.debug("break")
    //   //could pass it a null


    // //If i am correct, updatedRecord is the whole record that has been updated. We are wanting to
    // //subscribe the parent socket(s) to it. If this doesn't work , try using the information within
    // //the udpatedRecord to do the subscribe unless you can think of a better way.
 sails.log.debug("sockets in parent:", sockets, " NEW child:",deleteMeSocketsInChild)
                }
               
        });
 next()
 }

the other functions

 //return the models that are your parents
 getAssociationParents: function(modelName) {
 var assocArr = []
 if (sails.models[modelName]) {
 for (var a in sails.models[modelName].attributes) {
 if (sails.models[modelName].attributes[a].model)
 assocArr.push(a)
 }
 }
 return assocArr
 },

 //inspired by the pluralize function in \sails\lib\hooks\pubsub\index.js - we have to wrap our primary key up all pretty for it
 // since we don't expect our updatedRecords function to return an array of new objects (it shouldn't) we won't use the _.map function from pluralize
 subscribePluralizer: function(pKey, value) {
 //this function should be examined before using - 1-28-2015
 var newObj = {}
 newObj[pKey] = value
 newObj = [newObj]


 return newObj
 },
