Is the chat history for a team stored persistently online if no one on the team is logged in, or is it lost when the last person logs off?

Thanks

Hi Steve,

If you're using the SendTeamChatMessageRequest then the team members can use the ListTeamChatRequest to retrieve the chat history. If you have any further questions just let us know.

Hi Liam,

We are evaluating gamespark. Is the TeamChat the right approach for 1 on 1 messaging chat system? What is the maximum history for messages that can be retained? Thanks!

Hi Kareen,

It depends on the context of the two players in question.

Are they in a Challenge ? Use a ChatOnChallengeRequest.
Are they in a Team/Room ? Use a TeamChatMessage.
Are they social friends ? Use a SendFriendMessageRequest.

You can also use a SparkMessage in Cloud Code to have finer control over you messaging. You'll just need to supply target playerIds when using it. There is no limit to how many messages can be stored. A DismissMessageRequest can be used to essentially remove messages from the message history when returned through a ListMessageRequest. Bear in mind that a message does count as an API call so it's worth noting the Fair Usage Limits which can be found here.

Regards,

Liam
