How to Get Room Information Without Actually Joining the Room

There are several options to get rooms information.

The first way is to use the SearchJoinableRoom() method. For example, the following code returns a collection of the first 10 RoomInfo’s.

StrixNetwork.instance.SearchJoinableRoom(100, 0,
    args => {
        foreach (var roomInfo in args.roomInfoCollection) {
            Debug.Log(String.Format("Room {0}, {1}", roomInfo.roomId, roomInfo.name));
        }
    },
    args => {
        Debug.Log("SearchJoinableRoom failed. error = " + args.cause);
    }
);

Here args.roomInfoCollection is a collection of RoomInfo instances. The RoomInfo class has the following fields.

Field name	Type
id	long
roomId	long
name	string
protocol	string
port	int
host	string
isJoinable	bool
isPasswordProtected	bool
properties	IDictionary <string, object>
state	int
memberCount	int
capacity	int
nodeUid	UID
nodeType	int
nodeProperties	IDictionary <string, object>
stringKey	string
key1	double
key2	double
key3	double
key4	double
key5	double
key6	double
key7	double
key8	double

Another way is to use the GetNodeRoom() method, which returns information about a specific room by its primary key. It is a method of CustomizableMatchNodeClient. See the following code.

StrixNetwork.instance.masterSession.nodeClient.GetNodeRoom(
    new GetMessage<CustomizableMatchServerNodeRoom>(roomInfo.roomId),
    args => {
        var room = args.Result.GetModel();
        Debug.Log(String.Format("Room {0}, {1}", room.GetPrimaryKey(), room.GetName()));
    },
    args => {
        Debug.Log("GetNodeRoom failed. error = " + args.Result.ToString());
    }
);

GetNodeRoom() returns an instance of a CustomizableMatchServerNodeRoom. This class provides similar information as the RoomInfo class except that one should use methods to get its information instead of class properties.

The GetMembers() function can return a collection of members of a target room without joining the room itself.

StrixNetwork.instance.roomSession.roomClient.GetMembers(
    new RoomGetMembersMessage<CustomizableMatchRoom>(roomInfo.roomId),
    args => {
        foreach (var member in args.Result.GetMemberCollection()) {
            Debug.Log(String.Format("Member {0}, {1}", member.GetPrimaryKey(), member.GetName()));
        }
    },
    args => {
        Debug.Log("GetRoomMembers failed. error = " + args.Result.ToString());
    }
);

Here GetMembers() returns an instance of ICollection which stores instances of CustomizableMatchRoomMember.
