Introduction to Chat
Overview
AccelByte Gaming Services (AGS) Chat allows players to send and receive messages to their friends or party members in real time. This service includes notifications to inform users of messages being sent or received. Features of AGS Chat include:
System Transient Notifications: System Transient Notifications allow game developers to create categories which later become a hook to system messages or events that can be momentarily displayed as a pop-up inside the game.
System Inbox Notifications: System Inbox Notifications allows game admins to send persistent system notifications that players can review, save, or delete at their leisure. For example: notifications for news, gift or redemption codes, penalties, player reports, maintenance schedules, current events, and more. Game admins can also delete or un-send any notifications from players' inboxes if necessary.
Chat Message Filter: AGS Chat provides a default set of profanity filter options that can be used by the game admin. Admins can add or remove the list of profane words in the AGS Admin Portal or override the filter using AGS Extend.
Multiple Chat Methods:
- Personal Chat: Players can send messages to each other.
- Party Chat: Players can send messages to their party. Everyone in the party will receive the message.
- Session Chat: Players are able to create and join chat rooms in a session and are able to send and receive messages between players in the session.
