Listing Friends
- Newer versions of SteamCore PRO now has a simpler method for retrieving a list of friends, you can still list friends using the traditional way (by using Steamworks SDK nodes) but if you need a simpler way you can use the methods below.
Querying Friends
- You first have to query/retrieve a copy of your friends list from steam, you can do that by calling "Read Friend List"
Listing Friends
- After retrieving a list of your friends from Steam (see above), you can list all found friends using the Friend List Type.
- Make sure that you do not call this function before Read Friend List has returned Completed
Example Using the Steamworks Nodes
This Blueprint uses the SteamCore|Friends nodes directly:
- ShowMyName prints your own Steam name with Get Persona Name.
- ListFriends gets the number of friends with Get Friend Count, loops over them with Get Friend By Index and prints each name with Get Friend Persona Name. Both nodes take the same Flags; Immediate means regular friends. If Flags is empty, Get Friend Count returns 0.
- OpenFriendsOverlay opens the friends list in the Steam overlay with Activate Game Overlay. See Steam Overlay for the other pages it can open.
