Creating A Matchmaking Ticket In C++ UE5

Im following a blueprint tutorial and trying to convert it to C++ but i'm having some difficulties. When using the C++ Static function UPlayFabMultiplayerAPI::CreateMatchMakingTicket it takes in 4 parameters a FMultiplayerCreateMatchmakingTicketRequest, a success delegate, a failure delegat and a custom data object. Im able to setup the ticket struct pretty easily. I'm struggling with the delegates. They dont exist in the playfab namespace so I cannot just use "CreateUObject" Like i've done for all the other delegates I've used for logging in and registering the user. Does anyone know the correct syntax to fill out this function in C++ with no errors?

/** Create a matchmaking ticket as a client. */
UFUNCTION(BlueprintCallable, Category = "PlayFab | Multiplayer | Matchmaking ", meta = (BlueprintInternalUseOnly = "true"))
    static UPlayFabMultiplayerAPI* CreateMatchmakingTicket(FMultiplayerCreateMatchmakingTicketRequest request,
        FDelegateOnSuccessCreateMatchmakingTicket onSuccess,
        FDelegateOnFailurePlayFabError onFailure, UObject* customData);

The source code you are referring to is under the UnrealMarketplacePlugin/5.0/PlayFabPlugin/PlayFab/Source/PlayFab/ folder and it is for blueprint. We have the UnrealMarketplacePlugin/5.0/PlayFabPlugin/PlayFab/Source/PlayFabCpp/ folder for CPP projects. Since you are implementing a CPP project, as we mention here, “Open the YourProject.Build.cs file and update the PublicDependencyModuleNames with "PlayFab" (for the Blueprints module) and "PlayFabCpp" (for the C++ module)”, please follow the documentation to use the headers under PlayFabCpp. And here is a sample for your reference.

//Sample.cpp

#include "LoginActor.h"
#include "Core/PlayFabClientAPI.h"
#include "Core/PlayFabMultiplayerAPI.h"

ALoginActor::ALoginActor()
{
    PrimaryActorTick.bCanEverTick = true;
}

void ALoginActor::BeginPlay()
{
    Super::BeginPlay();

    GetMutableDefault<UPlayFabRuntimeSettings>()->TitleId = TEXT("XXXXX");

    clientAPI = IPlayFabModuleInterface::Get().GetClientAPI();
    multiplayerAPI = IPlayFabModuleInterface::Get().GetMultiplayerAPI();

    PlayFab::ClientModels::FLoginWithCustomIDRequest request;
    request.CustomId = TEXT("Gosen");
    request.CreateAccount = true;

    clientAPI->LoginWithCustomID(request,
        PlayFab::UPlayFabClientAPI::FLoginWithCustomIDDelegate::CreateUObject(this, &ALoginActor::OnSuccess),
        PlayFab::FPlayFabErrorDelegate::CreateUObject(this, &ALoginActor::OnError)
    );
}

void ALoginActor::OnSuccess(const PlayFab::ClientModels::FLoginResult& Result)
{
    UE_LOG(LogTemp, Log, TEXT("Congratulations, you made your first successful API call!"));
    PlayFab::MultiplayerModels::FCreateMatchmakingTicketRequest request;
    request.GiveUpAfterSeconds = 120;
    request.QueueName = TEXT("QuickMatch");
    request.Creator = PlayFab::MultiplayerModels::FMatchmakingPlayer();
    request.Creator.Entity.Id = Result.EntityToken.Get()->Entity.Get()->Id;
    request.Creator.Entity.Type = Result.EntityToken.Get()->Entity.Get()->Type;

    multiplayerAPI->CreateMatchmakingTicket(request,
        PlayFab::UPlayFabMultiplayerAPI::FCreateMatchmakingTicketDelegate::CreateUObject(this, &ALoginActor::OnCMTS),
        PlayFab::FPlayFabErrorDelegate::CreateUObject(this, &ALoginActor::OnCMTF)
    );
}

void ALoginActor::OnError(const PlayFab::FPlayFabCppError& ErrorResult) const
{
    UE_LOG(LogTemp, Error, TEXT("Something went wrong with your first API call.\nHere's some debug information:\n%s"), *ErrorResult.GenerateErrorReport());
}

void ALoginActor::Tick(float DeltaTime)
{
    Super::Tick(DeltaTime);
}

void ALoginActor::OnCMTS(const PlayFab::MultiplayerModels::FCreateMatchmakingTicketResult& Result) const
{
    UE_LOG(LogTemp, Log, TEXT("Ticket created, and Ticket is : %s"), * Result.TicketId);
}

void ALoginActor::OnCMTF(const PlayFab::FPlayFabCppError& ErrorResult) const
{
    UE_LOG(LogTemp, Error, TEXT("Something went wrong.\nHere's some debug information:\n%s"), *ErrorResult.GenerateErrorReport());
}


//Sample.h

#pragma once
#include "CoreMinimal.h"
#include "GameFramework/Actor.h"
#include "PlayFab.h"
#include "Core/PlayFabError.h"
#include "Core/PlayFabClientDataModels.h"
#include "Core/PlayFabMultiplayerDataModels.h"
#include "LoginActor.generated.h"
UCLASS()
class ALoginActor : public AActor
{
    GENERATED_BODY()
public:
    ALoginActor();
    virtual void BeginPlay() override;
    void OnSuccess(const PlayFab::ClientModels::FLoginResult& Result);
    void OnError(const PlayFab::FPlayFabCppError& ErrorResult) const;

    void OnCMTS(const PlayFab::MultiplayerModels::FCreateMatchmakingTicketResult& Result) const;
    void OnCMTF(const PlayFab::FPlayFabCppError& ErrorResult) const;

    virtual void Tick(float DeltaSeconds) override;
private:
    PlayFabClientPtr clientAPI = nullptr;
    PlayFabMultiplayerPtr multiplayerAPI = nullptr;
};

I don't know if this is the correct solution but this compiled successfully. Still need to test it

UPlayFabMultiplayerAPI::FDelegateOnSuccessCreateMatchmakingTicket SuccessDelegate;
SuccessDelegate.BindUFunction(this, FName("OnCreateMatchmakingTicketSuccess"));

UPlayFabMultiplayerAPI::FDelegateOnFailurePlayFabError FailureDelegate;
FailureDelegate.BindUFunction(this, "OnCreateMatchmakingTicketError");

UPlayFabMultiplayerAPI::CreateMatchmakingTicket(MatchmakingTicketRequest, SuccessDelegate, FailureDelegate, nullptr);

This is a good example to see the API. But rarely would I log a player in and start matchmaking directly. So is the best practice to cache all the data I will need to pass to the Matchmake request and pull from those caches in a custom function that will run when the player decides to queue up for a match? Is it safe to cache this kind of data where the client can access it? If not what is the best place to do this?

It is safe, since this is the data that the client can obtain, there is no problem with caching it.

Also what is the difference between FMultiplayerCreateMatchmakingTicketRequest and FCreateMatchmakingTicketRequest?

There is not much difference, one is defined in the blueprint module and the other is defined in the C++ module, please use it based on the corresponding module.
