In Unreal using Multiplayer::Lobby API,
What is a ResouceId? The docs vaguely describe this as "The name of the resource to subscribe to." What is "the" resource?
What is the PubSubConnectionHandle? I just make a new, arbitrary UUID myself and pass it?
If these 2 items are not arbitrary, why do the docs not guide us to let us know what to actually do with these?
Thanks!
Lobby APIs that contain ResourceId and PubSubConnectionHandle in the request body are used for implementing Real-time notifications directly with REST and SignalR APIs. Refer to Real-time notifications SignalR Hub - PlayFab | Microsoft Learn. ResourceId is the lobby Id and the PubSubConnectionHandle is obtained from SiganlR.
ResourceId == LobbyId from Multiplayer::Matchmaking API? Great! Thanks!
As for the realtime events: Wait, I thought the SDK natively supported events here, wrapping SignalR through your calls (rather than having to implement it ourselves)? I'm confused: How is this better than the v1 (obsolete) Matchmaking APIs that seemed to allow native events without further setup? Is Multiplayer::Lobby a beta API?
ResourceId == LobbyId, if you call Lobby - Subscribe To Lobby Resource and Lobby - Unsubscribe From Lobby Resource.
Azure Playfab Lobby and Matchmaking SDKs are natively supported events, so you don't need to use such APIs if you are using those SDKs.
