I want to update a room list.

Hello Guys,

A room list needs to update without creating or removing a room for OnRoomListUpdate callback, well do you have any idea for it?

In someone's question and answers, I've found there's no way the update with a method like refresh button due to that the game can be busy.

However, a player can't see any room if the change is intermittently.

And I don't get how to use GetCustomRoomList with sqlLobbyFilter.

Thanks for reading.

Below, it works with GetCustomRoomList, but OnRoomListUpdate is not working.

It's for update a room list when someone start a scene right then.

private TypedLobby m_lobby;    
      
  void Start()    
  {            
    m_lobby = new TypedLobby("def", LobbyType.SqlLobby);    
    PhotonNetwork.GetCustomRoomList(m_lobby, "C0 = '1'");    
  }    

public void CreateRoom()    
  {    
    if (isCreating) return;    


    Debug.Log("CreateRoom");    
    isCreating = true;    
    RoomOptions ro = new RoomOptions();    
    ro.IsOpen = true;    
    ro.IsVisible = true;    
    ro.MaxPlayers = 4;    
    ro.CustomRoomProperties = new ExitGames.Client.Photon.Hashtable() { { "C0", "1" } };    
    ro.CustomRoomPropertiesForLobby = new string[] { "C0" };    

    if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(m_nickNameInput.text))    
    {    
      m_nickNameInput.text = $"BABO_{Random.Range(1, 100):000}";    
    }    
    if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(m_roomNameInput.text))    
    {    
      m_roomNameInput.text = $"ROOM_{Random.Range(1, 100):000}";    
    }    

    PhotonNetwork.NickName = m_nickNameInput.text;    
    PhotonNetwork.CreateRoom(m_roomNameInput.text, ro, m_lobby);    
  }

I don't understand what is needed, sorry.

When you join a lobby, you get a room list and updates for it. This actually means you need to keep the initial list and update it. This means your code is control of knowing the complete list anytime you are in a lobby and you can use that to update any view of it.

The lobby's list is pushed to the clients and there is no way to ask for it (unless you use SQL lobbies, which don't send the updates but you can ask it to find a random room with more precise filtering or ask for a custom list).
