Hi all, currently I am trying to implement Create Server Backfill Ticket, with some success, but when I try to get the members of the match via get Match, I always get the members who initially joined that match.
I figured I need to use this from the GSDK to update my currently connected users, but where should I put it? When users are joining the initial match? This Update Connected Players will be keep updating as well throughout the cycle of the match?
Thanks.
When a new player connects, you can let PlayFab know by adding it to the vector of players and calling updateConnectedPlayers. For more details, please see Giving PlayFab information about your game server. Please note that the members of the API CreateServerBackfillTicket should be the current players in the server instead of the Initial player. When the server backfill ticket is matched, you will get a new matchId which can be used to get new members.
Thanks for the reply, I will move the update connected players to the part where they are connecting.
Which API will return me the "current Players" as members then? Because I was using Get Match and that was only returning the initial members. Thanks a lot
Since the CreateServerBackfillTicket should be called via server and the Members are the current players in the server, the server should know this info. For example, if you have followed Giving PlayFab information about your game server to implement your server, there will be a ConnectedPlayer list:
static private List<ConnectedPlayer> players = new List<ConnectedPlayer>();
@Neils Shi How does this line of code help return the current list of players in the game with their team assignment? That is what is needed for the backfill ticket. A connected player only contains a string field, so I don't see how that will help in this case.
