Hi Size!

I have used this function, but the request sent has to be accepted/declined through the website. How can accept/decline it through the game(Android)? Is mandatory to have an account in the website to manage it?

The idea I want to do, is to have a list of in game friends with a friend's chat. They will share their belogings.

Thx!!!

Unfortunately, that's not possible with the current version of GameMaker Server.

The rewrite will be getting better support for this, but that's still at least a few months away from beta.

Ok ,Thx! Im sure that the new updating will be wonderfull!

Another question related to this one. I want to send a variable (send gold for example) to a team colleague, for which I need to use "gms_p2p_send", but for using it, I need the colleague Id. How can I get it? Herehttps://gamemakerserver.com/en/docs/script/gms_friend_name/ it says that for getting the id of another player, it has to be a friend before, but I cant manage it through the game. How could I do it?

You can use gms_friend_get to find the user_id of one of your friends.

You can also use the gms_other_* functions to loop over the players in the current session, and get their user_ids.

I've got a question.

How do i write the callback script.
Should i do this
[
if argument0 = 0
{
//blah
}
]

or

[
if argument0
{
//blah
}
if argument1
{
//blah
}
]

or what?
( Sorry i dont really understand how to use arguments. )

It works like this:

if argument0 == 0
{
}else if argument0 == 1
{
}else if argument0 == 2
{
}
