match(_:shouldReinvitePlayer:)

Handles when a player disconnects from a two-player match.

Declaration

optional func match(_ match: GKMatch, shouldReinvitePlayer playerID: String) -> Bool

Parameters

  • match:

    The match that lost the player.

  • playerID:

    The identifier for the player whose connection failed.

Return Value

Your game should return true if it wants GameKit to attempt to reconnect the player, false if it wants to terminate the match.

Discussion

Occasionally, players may get disconnected from a match. If your game implements this method in the match delegate and the match only contains two players, GameKit calls this method after a player gets disconnected. If your delegate allows GameKit to reconnect to the other player, it reconnects the other player. Your match(_:player:didChange:) method is called when the other player is reconnected.
