Party Chat

Last updated on 29 August, 2022 5:01 AM

When a party has been formed, its members can use the chat feature to communicate with each other. Every message sent will be received by all of the party members.

Send a Party Chat

The Lobby service will automatically direct a player's messages to their own party, so the player doesn't need to know their Party ID. The Party ID will be obtained automatically after the player has already joined the party.

Unreal Engine

FRegistry::Lobby.Connect();
FRegistry::Lobby.SetPartyMessageResponseDelegate(AccelByte::Api::Lobby::FPartyChatResponse::CreateLambda([](const FAccelByteModelsPartyMessageResponse& Result)
{
    if (Result.Code == "0")
    {
        // Do something if PartyMessageResponseDelegate has been retrieved successfully
    }
    else
    {
        // Do something if PartyMessageResponseDelegate has an error
    }
}));

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

Unity

string message = "Your Message";

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

Receive a Party Chat

A party chat can be received by registering to a party chat event.

Unreal Engine

FRegistry::Lobby.SetPartyChatNotifDelegate(AccelByte::Api::Lobby::FPartyChatNotif::CreateLambda([](const FAccelByteModelsPartyMessageNotice& Result)
{
    // Do something if PartyChatMessageNotifDelegate has been retrieved successfully
}));

Unity

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