Hi,
I have a full multiplayer p2p game working with UE4 Online Subsystem on Steam and PS4. Now I want to make my game cross-platform and I need to matchmake my players from Steam and PS4. But I'm kinda lost on that. To be clear, this is a example of what I'm trying to achieve:
- Player 1 starts the game, and press a "matchmaking" button, but that player don't find any suitable game, so he creates one (This player will be the host of the game) and enters a Lobby room. Inside that room player can select character, change their equipment, and select the map to play.
- Player2 starts the game, press "matchmaking" button, and find the Player 1 Lobby room and enters.
When both players select their characters and set themselves to Ready, game will start and both players will travel to the game map.
- Then Player 3 starts the game, press "matchmaking" button, and find the game from Player1 and Payer2. Player 3 enters that game, even when they have already started it.
Game ends after 10 minutes(for example) and the 3 players return to main menu.
I got this done everything with the HostSession, FindSession, JoinSession and ServerTravel functions from Unreal, and in game, I got everything done with the Unreal replication system, so I don't need a dedicated server for that.
What would be the best way to achieve this? I see that there is an adaptation of the OnlineSubsystem (https://gitlab.com/mtuska/OnlineSubsystemPlayFab/tree/master). This will be enough for having Matchmaking on my game? or do I need authentication, and do extra code on the UE4 replication system?
Thanks!
