Requesting info from the room when in the lobby

Vermeulen

I am needing to display a list of players and other information before the player enters the room

I know I could use Room Properties for this - but I was imaging it would be a large list of information and paragraphs of text. I only want to send the player this information when they request it from a specific room.

Is there anyway to request this information from a room before joining it?

Hi @Vermeulen,

What do you need the "room information" for? If it's for matchmaking then maybe you should take a look at the "Matchmaking Guide".

Short answer is no if you don't want to use room properties visible to the lobby. Otherwise, what you can do is join same lobby in which the room was created (should be of type "default") and then get list of rooms and then go through that list to find the room and then get its room properties.

but I was imaging it would be a large list of information and paragraphs of text.

Room properties can have any type or values you want.
