gms_session_type ( n )
I don't understunde how use the "type" of session :(

I understunde that there are sessions, everyone with a ID (from 0 to 255, true?).
But what is type?

What you're describing as ID sounds more like the session type. The ID is simply a unique number assigned to every session by the server, and has no real meaning.

The type, on the other hand, can be used to identify different kinds of sessions. It does nothing on its own, it'll only help when trying to decide what session to join. For example, internally GameMaker Server uses ID 0 for a lobby and ID 1 for a game in progress if you enable the VS mode. (but don't use the VS mode and sessions at the same time, that may not work)
