Binding the event (Legacy, pre 1.8.0)

First we need to bind the invite accepted event, we do this in our PlayerController (in this example), like this:

Binding the event (1.8.0+)

The rest is handled by the EOSCore:: plugin in the background, that is all you need to do to get Invites working!

OnlineSubsystemEOSCore

• Fixed bAllowInvites attribute not being set properly
  Thanks to Ding for finding this
• Made Experimental changes to the OnlineSubsystem, it might cause unexpected behavior and if so, the EOSCore:: plugin might have to be run in Standalone or Packaged build in the future.
• Added a CreateEOSCoreSession node, more settings will be added later

OnlineSubsystem

• Fixed NetUniqueId issues that were not being set correctly when logging in, making it impossible to Create Sessions

Auto-Login

The plugin can now Auto-Login when you start up your Game / Project. To use this feature add “bAutoLogin=true” to DefaultEngine.ini

[EOSCore]
bEnabled=true
bDebugging=true
bAutoLogin=true
ProductId=
SandboxId=
DeploymentId=
ClientId=
ClientSecret=

You can also launch your Project / Game with the –AUTO_LOGIN command line argument

If you have a valid PersistentAuth saved on your computer, the plugin will now auto-login and authenticate you
