Pinging players, list of rooms

ZyNa

Hey there,

is there any way how to ping players with a message over every room?
The idea is that I need to be able to invite people from different rooms to join mine. However room settings do not have such a function. Is there any workaround for that?

Also, theres no access to get list of available rooms of application if you are not in a lobby.

Any ideas?

Hi @ZyNa,

Thank you for choosing Photon!

By design:

- you can communicate only to players joined to the same room
- you can get the list of rooms only when joined to a lobby of applicable type

So you need to use an external service, like Photon Chat or else, to exchange game invitations.
Otherwise, there is the FindFriends approach as explained here.
