Hi @Penth0s,
In Photon Realtime/LoadBalancing/PUN, you do not "set" friends list on server.
Server does not persist any friends list.
WhatOpFindFriendsdoes is the following:
- send the server an array of UserIDs.
- the server checks per UserID if it matches a connected client if it's the case the server checks if the player is joined to a room and returns its room name if so.
So it is like asking the server "tell me if these users are connected or joined to rooms".what will this function return to me if I am not set anything? all users on master server and game servers?It should throw an error if null or empty array or do not return anything.5
