Is there a way to make a custom request / response for this that I could call from UE4.
Example:
GetFriendParty_Request
-requests the team data for the 'PARTY' team the user is in
GetFriendParty_Response
-returns team data or associated errors
If that's not possible how do I go about calling custom cloud scripts from code?
Hi Arthur,
You could send a ListTeamsRequest to get a list back of a particular team types teams in the game. Alternatively for a friend you could send the GetMyTeamsRequest as a SparkRequest in Cloud Code as the friend to get their list of teams and then attempt to join one from that list. You would just need to replace Send(); with SendAs(friendId); to do this.Try that and let me know if you have any further questions.
Regards,

It's common to be able to just jump into your friend's party in games. It's easy enough to join a team if you know the owner and type or the team ID but if I want to join the party of a friend who isn't the team owner how would I go about doing this?
You can make a GetMyTeamsRequest to get the teams you're in but there doesn't seem to be a way to get the teams someone else is in. Maybe I'm missing something but the way I imagined it working was:
Get friend's teams
if it's of x type and not full then join
but there's no way to request someone's teams as far as I can tell.
