FlexMatch Scripting

The AWS GameLift provides Script Canvas nodes that make requests against Amazon GameLift to start, stop and accept matchmaking requests.

There are synchronous and asynchronous versions for each action. Asynchronous nodes perform their operation in the AZ JobFunction and finish at some point in the future. These operations communicate over the network through either AWS HTTPS requests or TCP/UDP packets. Each asynchronous node has a corresponding notification handler node.

StartMatchmaking

To find a match for a group of players and create a session to host match, use the StartMatchmaking node. With this node, you can pass in the properties configuration name, players and ticket id through AWSGameLiftStartMatchmakingRequest.
