Unity - Scripting API: NetworkMatch

Description

A component for communicating with the Unity Multiplayer Matchmaking service.

This class aggregates all the supported JSON calls into functions that are callable for games that wish to interact with the MatchMaker service.

The example code below shows how to use NetworkMatch API.

using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.Networking;
using UnityEngine.Networking.Match;
using System.Collections.Generic;

public class SimpleMatchMaker : MonoBehaviour
{
    void Start()
    {
        NetworkManager.singleton.StartMatchMaker();
    }

    //call this method to request a match to be created on the server
    public void CreateInternetMatch(string matchName)
    {
        NetworkManager.singleton.matchMaker.CreateMatch(matchName, 4, true, "", "", "", 0, 0, OnInternetMatchCreate);
    }

    //this method is called when your request for creating a match is returned
    private void OnInternetMatchCreate(bool success, string extendedInfo, MatchInfo matchInfo)
    {
        if (success)
        {
            //Debug.Log("Create match succeeded");

            MatchInfo hostInfo = matchInfo;
            NetworkServer.Listen(hostInfo, 9000);

            NetworkManager.singleton.StartHost(hostInfo);
        }
        else
        {
            Debug.LogError("Create match failed");
        }
    }

    //call this method to find a match through the matchmaker
    public void FindInternetMatch(string matchName)
    {
        NetworkManager.singleton.matchMaker.ListMatches(0, 10, matchName, true, 0, 0, OnInternetMatchList);
    }

    //this method is called when a list of matches is returned
    private void OnInternetMatchList(bool success, string extendedInfo, List<MatchInfoSnapshot> matches)
    {
        if (success)
        {
            if (matches.Count != 0)
            {
                //Debug.Log("A list of matches was returned");

                //join the last server (just in case there are two...)
                NetworkManager.singleton.matchMaker.JoinMatch(matches[matches.Count - 1].networkId, "", "", "", 0, 0, OnJoinInternetMatch);
            }
            else
            {
                Debug.Log("No matches in requested room!");
            }
        }
        else
        {
            Debug.LogError("Couldn't connect to match maker");
        }
    }

    //this method is called when your request to join a match is returned
    private void OnJoinInternetMatch(bool success, string extendedInfo, MatchInfo matchInfo)
    {
        if (success)
        {
            //Debug.Log("Able to join a match");

            MatchInfo hostInfo = matchInfo;
            NetworkManager.singleton.StartClient(hostInfo);
        }
        else
        {
            Debug.LogError("Join match failed");
        }
    }
}
