How Often does OnStatusUpdate get called?

Nerfski

basicly im working with Photon Chat & Playfab. i got the whole add friends thing and such, Im wondering When does the Status Update get called? everytime a chat user status changes? or every 5 seconds? im wondering cause i need to know what to set a player status's When A player opens Up the friend menu.



Another thing that may be useful is to Call a GetFriendStatus Function. that would be really useful and if there is i dont yet know about it.

Hi @Nerfski,

As stated in the documentation here, OnStatusUpdate will get called only when the status changes and nor periodically.

Good question.
There is no such thing.

I'm not sure but could you test that adding friends (chatClient.AddFriends) does not trigger an 'initial' OnStatusUpdate per friend?

i did a bit of testing and found that whenever you add a friend and that friend's status changes it does get their status. thank you for answering my question because i can use this as the GetFriendStatus method.

I am not getting an initial status update on a friend after calling AddFriends. I need this to check if a user is offline before performing other game logic. I am testing this with a variety of friends, online and offline, editor and standalone build. I have tried implicitly and explicitly implementing the OnStatusUpdate callback from IChatClientListener. Nothing comes back, ever.

public string FriendToAdd;

public static void AddFriend()
    {
        var friend = new string[1] { FriendToAdd };
        _client.AddFriends(friend);
    }

public void OnStatusUpdate(string user, int status, bool gotMessage, object message)
    {
        Debug.Log(string.Format("OnStatusUpdate:\r\nUser:{0}, Status:{1}, Msg:{2}, Message:{3}", user, status, gotMessage, message));
    }
