Join a Default Channel

Players can join a default channel to chat with all other players currently logged into the game.

Unreal Engine

FRegistry::Lobby.SetJoinChannelChatResponseDelegate(AccelByte::Api::Lobby::FJoinDefaultChannelChatResponse::CreateLambda([](const FAccelByteModelsJoinDefaultChannelResponse& Result)
{
    // Do something if JoinChannelChat has been successful
}));

FRegistry::Lobby.SendJoinDefaultChannelChatRequest();

Unity

AccelBytePlugin.GetLobby().Connect();
AccelBytePlugin.GetLobby().JoinDefaultChatChannel(result =>
{
    if (result.IsError)
    {
        // Do something if JoinDefaultChatChannel has an error
        Debug.Log($"Error JoinDefaultChatChannel, Error Code: {result.Error.Code} Error Message: {result.Error.Message}");
    }
    else
    {
        // Do something if JoinDefaultChatChannel has been successful
    }
});

Send a Global Chat

Sending a message through a global default channel to get interact with some message for all players that have already joined the global channel.

Unreal Engine

FRegistry::Lobby.Connect();
FRegistry::Lobby.SetChannelMessageResponseDelegate(AccelByte::Api::Lobby::FChannelChatResponse::CreateLambda([](const FAccelByteModelsChannelMessageResponse& Result)
{
    if (Result.Code == "0")
    {
        // Do something if ChannelMessageResponseDelegate has been successful
    }
    else
    {
        // Do something if ChannelMessageResponseDelegate has an error
    }
}));

FString Message = FString("Your Message");
FRegistry::Lobby.SendChannelMessage(Message);

Unity

string message = "Your Message";

AccelBytePlugin.GetLobby().Connect();
AccelBytePlugin.GetLobby().SendChannelChat(message, result =>
{
    if (result.IsError)
    {
        // Do something if SendChannelChat has an error
        Debug.Log($"Error SendChannelChat, Error Code: {result.Error.Code} Error Message: {result.Error.Message}");
    }
    else
    {
        // Do something if SendChannelChat has been successful
    }
});

Receive a Global Chat

Receiving a message from a global channel can be done by registering to a channel chat event using the following code:

Unreal Engine

FRegistry::Lobby.SetChannelMessageNotifDelegate(AccelByte::Api::Lobby::FChannelChatNotif::CreateLambda([](const FAccelByteModelsChannelMessageNotice& Result)
{
    // Do something if ChannelMessageNotifDelegate has been retrieved successfully
}));

Unity

AccelBytePlugin.GetLobby().ChannelChatReceived += result =>
{
    if (result.IsError)
    {
        // Do something if ChannelChatReceived has an error
        Debug.Log($"Error ChannelChatReceived, Error Code: {result.Error.Code} Error Message: {result.Error.Message}");
    }
    else
    {
        // Do something if ChannelChatReceived has been successful
    }
};
