Game match ID system
I wanted to create a system where a player can create a game and get a 5 characters string ID of the game .. he could then share that ID to his friends and they can use it to join the same game .. sorta like how among us works
I tried to achieve that using the session ID on RequestMultiplayerServer() .. which will show up on the creators client and he can share it easily.. then his friends would use the GetMatch() with that session ID to then join the same match ... Unfortunately though Session ID needs to be in guid format which is not ideal for sharing with friends
I'm quite lost as this point .. been trying to get it to work for a while now

Do you want to implement a matchmaking mechanism that players can match with each other through entering the same 5-digit string? If so, you can consider using the String Equality Rule as the matchmaking queue rule. The String Equality Rule is designed to match the tickets that have the same string attribute together. It can be used to implement a password-based matchmaking mechanism directly. And you can customize the content of string sources on your own. Please check our documentation - Configuring matchmaking queues - PlayFab | Microsoft Docs to learn about how to configure the matchmaking queue and check this documentation - Matchmaking scenario and configuration examples - PlayFab | Microsoft Docs to view the matchmaking scenarios and configuration examples we provide.
