Photon Unity Creating Reserved Slots
Hello im using the Phonton for my multiplayer game and as you may know you can only have 20 people on a free server and so i was thinking if there is away to have a free version of my game and then a paid version of my game (1 dollar) and then if the server is full it will check to see if any non-paid members are in game and kick them out so the paid member can join in. I was wondering if there was a way to do that.
Here is a rough guide to how it might be done
Limit the total number of players connected to the server to 19
When the 20th player joins then boot an unpaid player off the server. If the joining player is unpaid then boot them.
You will also need a way to identify players as paid or unpaid. You could use different versions of your game. Or you could maintain a backend database of users.
I'm not sure if photon has an API to access the total number of players connected. It definitely can be done inside of a room.
thank you so much i have a way to mark them as paid and non paid but did not think of making the server have always that 20th player slot open to check for users. Thanks
