Flexible matchmaker for placing players in lobbies with no wait times.

How the matchmaker chooses lobbies

Lobby environment variables

Automatic region selection

Competitive matchmaking

Finds a lobby based on the given criteria.
If a lobby is not found and `prevent_auto_create_lobby` is `true`, 
a new lobby will be created.


⭐️ matchmaker.lobbies.find

Joins a specific lobby.
This request will use the direct player count configured for the
lobby group.


⭐️ matchmaker.lobbies.join

Marks the current lobby as ready to accept connections.  Players will not be able to connect to this lobby until the  lobby is flagged as ready.

⭐️ matchmaker.lobbies.ready

Validates the player token is valid and has not already been consumed then
marks the player as connected.
# Player Tokens and Reserved Slots
Player tokens reserve a spot in the lobby until they expire. This allows for
precise matchmaking up to exactly the lobby's player limit, which is
important for games with small lobbies and a high influx of players.
By calling this endpoint with the player token, the player's spot is marked
as connected and will not expire. If this endpoint is never called, the
player's token will expire and this spot will be filled by another player.
# Anti-Botting
Player tokens are only issued by caling `lobbies.join`, calling `lobbies.find`, or
from the `GlobalEventMatchmakerLobbyJoin` event.
These endpoints have anti-botting measures (i.e. enforcing max player
limits, captchas, and detecting bots), so valid player tokens provide some
confidence that the player is not a bot.
Therefore, it's important to make sure the token is valid by waiting for
this endpoint to return OK before allowing the connected socket to do
anything else. If this endpoint returns an error, the socket should be
disconnected immediately.
# How to Transmit the Player Token
The client is responsible for acquiring the player token by caling
`lobbies.join`, calling `lobbies.find`, or from the `GlobalEventMatchmakerLobbyJoin`
event.  Beyond that, it's up to the developer how the player token is
transmitted to the lobby.
If using WebSockets, the player token can be transmitted as a query
parameter.
Otherwise, the player token will likely be automatically sent by the client
once the socket opens. As mentioned above, nothing else should happen until
the player token is validated.


⭐️ matchmaker.players.connected

Marks a player as disconnected. # Ghost Players If players are not marked as disconnected, lobbies will result with "ghost players" that the matchmaker thinks exist but are no longer connected to the lobby.

⭐️ matchmaker.players.disconnected

If `is_closed` is `true`, players will be prevented from joining the lobby.
Does not shutdown the lobby.


matchmaker.lobbies.setClosed

matchmaker.lobbies.list

Gives matchmaker statistics about the players in game.

matchmaker.players.getStatistics

Returns a list of regions available to this namespace.
Regions are sorted by most optimal to least optimal. The player's IP address
is used to calculate the regions' optimality.


matchmaker.regions.list

Auto-scaling game lobbies boot up to meet demand.

Following & friend mechanics

Friend discovery mechanisms

Returns all events relative to the current identity.

⭐️ identity.events.watch

Begins the process for linking an identity with the Rivet Hub.
# Importance of Linking Identities
When an identity is created via `rivet.api.identity#SetupIdentity`, the identity is temporary
and is not shared with other games the user plays.
In order to make the identity permanent and synchronize the identity with
other games, the identity must be linked with the hub.
# Linking Process
The linking process works by opening `identity_link_url` in a browser then polling
`rivet.api.identity#GetGameLink` to wait for it to complete.
This is designed to be as flexible as possible so `identity_link_url` can be opened
on any device. For example, when playing a console game, the user can scan a
QR code for `identity_link_url` to authenticate on their phone.


⭐️ identity.links.prepare

Gets or creates an identity.
Passing an existing identity token in the body refreshes the token.
Temporary Accounts
Until the identity is linked with the Rivet Hub (see `PrepareGameLink`), this identity will be temporary but still behave like all other identities.
This is intended to allow users to play the game without signing up while still having the benefits of having an account. When they are ready to save their account, they should be instructed to link their account (see `PrepareGameLink`).
Storing Token
`identity_token` should be stored in some form of persistent storage. The token should be read from storage and passed to `Setup` every time the client starts.

⭐️ identity.setup

Returns the current status of a linking process. Once `status` is `complete`, the identity's profile should be fetched again since they may have switched accounts.
