Players can communicate with other players using personal chat.

Send a Personal Chat

A player can send a personal message to any other player, if they know their User ID.

Unreal Engine

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

FString UserId = FString("SomeTargetUserId");
FString Message = FString("Your Message");
FRegistry::Lobby.SendPrivateMessage(UserId, Message);

Unity

string userId = "SomeTargetUserId";
string message = "Your Message";

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

Receive a Personal Chat

Personal chats can be received by registering to the personal chat event.

Unreal Engine

FRegistry::Lobby.SetPrivateMessageNotifDelegate(AccelByte::Api::Lobby::FPersonalChatNotif::CreateLambda([](const FAccelByteModelsPersonalMessageNotice& Result)
{
    // Do something if PrivateMessageNotifDelegate has been retrieved successfully
}));

Unity

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