Player leaving and joining room back again even after room closed

roshaan

Hi, I have created a random room and after 2 players joining I close the room.

What I want to do now is that when either player leaves the game and want to join back after some time they should be able to join back. Only those players should be able to join who were registered in the room before it got close.

Is there any way I can achieve this thing? Any help would be appreciated.

Hi @roshaan,

Thank you for choosing Photon!

Set RoomOptions.PlayerTtl (not zero, -1 or a value high enough allowing the player to return after leaving) and use RejoinRoom or ReconnectAndRejoin. Do not use LeaveRoom(false).

Hi @JohnTube

thank you for taking time and giving me a response back. I really appreciate this,

So I will try using the methods you mentioned above and will update this thread accordingly.

@JohnTube Hi, I have tried using the RejoinRoom but it is not working as the player creates another room upon join failed.
I have saved the room name in a file upon leaving and tried signed in back into that room after it was mark closed but it didn't worked.
The player-ttl value is set to 15 minutes

Is there any example code or demo for this?

hi @roshaan,

join failed.

but it didn't worked.

Could you show us the code you tries? What error did you get for room rejoin?
Did you keep the same UserId when rejoining?

@JohnTube I don't get errors in the log so I don't know what it is wrong but the player creates/joins the random room as I have coded in the room failed function.
What do you mean by userID? I don't have any userID, I just pass the room name that I want to rejoin in the PhotonNetwork.RejoinRoom(roomName)

Hi @roshaan,

What PUN version are you using?
You need to implement join room failure callback.

the room failed function

Maybe this is the one or maybe you are referring to the Join Random failure callback which is different.

PUN1:
- void OnPhotonRandomJoinFailed(object[] codeAndMsg)
- void OnPhotonJoinRoomFailed(object[] codeAndMsg)

PUN2:
- void OnJoinRandomFailed(short returnCode, string message)
- void OnJoinRoomFailed(short returnCode, string message)

In order to rejoin a room, you need to keep the same UserId.
