Question by PeterKallviks · May 04 at 03:36 AM · Matchmaking

What would be the easiest way to invite players to match?

I am developing a card game in Unity using PlayFab and a database back-end. I am at the stage where I need to find a proper and easy way to invite people to a match using the following methods:

  • Friends list (implemented)
  • Random
  • Selected but not in friends list

I would like to do this so I have. a process where the person who invite sends an invite and the receiver get a choice to accept or deny the invitation.

Can someone please recommend a way of accomplish this in an easy fashion?

Well, I have not implemented the actual invitation process for the friendliest, only the actual friendliest.

For random players, you can use matchmaking to make random matches, refer to Matchmaking quickstart - PlayFab | Microsoft Docs.

For specific players, you can match specific players by configuring StringEqualityRule, or you can use Lobby to create rooms and invite players, refer to PlayFab Multiplayer Lobby Quickstart - PlayFab | Microsoft Docs.
