Joining a Session

You have two ways to join a session:

• By Searching for a Session and using a GridMate::SearchInfo object from the results.
• Directly to an existing game session by using a GridMate::SessionIdIffo object.

Regardless of the method, a session is joined using one of the overloaded IGridMate::JoinSession() functions after the session service has been started.

Note
The argument GridMate::JoinParams currently has no supported parameters.

Events

The following table describes GridMate session join events.

Example

The following example joins a session that has been found as the result of a session search.

void MyClass::OnGridSearchComplete(const GridMate::GridSearch* search)
{
    GridMate::IGridMate* gridMate = gEnv->pNetwork->GetGridMate();

    if(gridMate)
    {
        if(search->GetNumResults() > 0)
        {
            GridMate::Session* session = gridMate->JoinSession(search->GetResult(0), GridMate::JoinParams(), GridMate::CarrierDesc());
        }
    }
}

void MyClass:OnSessionJoined(GridMate::GridSession* session)
{
    // Joined the session successfully
}
