I've uploaded my build for Multiplayer, and it currently says "Deployed" and 0 active and 1 in standby.
But what do I do now?
How do I get my game to get the list of Servers available to join from PlayFab?
I want to have a list of Rooms/Servers in my game and let the player select one to join, or create their own one.
You have mentioned a feature more like Lobby, which is currently not supported by PlayFab matchmaking system. You may consider implementing an agent server to host a matchmaking system with lobby feature. Please also feel free to send a thread on Feature Request forum if there is no existing one.
@edwarddennekamp To list the servers you have that are active and connect to them, I think you would need to do the following:
1. Call ListBuildSummaries from the Multiplayer API to obtain a list of Build Summaries (with Build IDs)
2. Call ListMultiplayerServers from the Multiplayer API with the Build IDs from before
3. Call RequestMultiplayerServer from the Multiplayer API to allocate a server and get the IP and Port to connect to
4. Connect to the server using the multiplayer system you've implemented in your game.
I get the following error when calling PlayFabMultiplayerAPI.ListBuildSummaries from my game:
/MultiplayerServer/ListBuildSummaries: This API must be enabled for client access in the Game Manager API Features settings
Yup, you need to enable it in your PlayFab web console as it's an additional API Feature.
You know, my apologies. I just assumed it would be straightforward. But I believe it could be this setting in your Title Settings. options.png
That's a bit misleading. As I don't want the players to be able to start games, only view and join servers?
Right, then you want to look into the match making functionality. I am not a pro at this yet as I am looking into it soon. @Brandon Phillips may have more to say on this. But you can check it out here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/playfab/multiplayer/matchmaking?view=playfab-rest
Also you may want to check you settings within the PlayFab Editor Extension within your Unity Project. You can find it under Window -> PlayFab -> Editor Extensions apitab.png
