Return value
Type: HRESULT
S_OK if the call succeeded or an error code otherwise. The human-readable form of the error code can be retrieved via PFMultiplayerGetErrorMessage().
Remarks
The library automatically, and asynchronously, submits all specified local users to join the ticket on the matchmaking service. Each time the ticket status changes, a PFMatchmakingTicketStatusChangedStateChange is provided. The ticket status can be queried at any time via PFMatchmakingTicketGetStatus(). The ticket immediately starts in the PFMatchmakingTicketStatus::Joining state.
When the ticket completes, a PFMatchmakingTicketStatusChangedStateChange is provided. At that point, a match was found or the ticket stopped due to failure. On success, the match that was found can be queried via PFMatchmakingTicketGetMatch().
If ticket creation fails because there are already too many tickets for the specified users, the transparently cancels those outstanding tickets and then retries ticket creation.
