How can I achieve some function like getting all players to display names, fuzzy search, friend request, party invites, etc?
Is a Custom server is the best option for all of this?
Can anyone explain the whole process that, how can I set up a custom server?
Is PlayFab give this option?
Thanks.
PlayFab doesn't provide API to get display name of all players and fuzzy search, you need to use custom server or 3rd party database to do it.
If you need to use the player's display name to implement friend requests, then you can store the association between the display name and the PlayFabId on a 3rd party database and refer to Add Friend using friend request with accept/decline option - Playfab Community for implementation.
Likewise, if you need to use the display name to implement party invitations, you can store the association between the display name and the entity in the database, and then use groups to implement it.
