steam_get_friends_game_info

Returns an array of information about what the current user's Steam friends are playing.

Equivalent to what can be seen in Steam Friends UI.

 

Syntax:

steam_get_friends_game_info();

 

Returns:

array of structs

struct Contents
Key	Type	Description
friendId	int64	The Steam user id
gameId	real	The Steam game id
lobbyId	int64	The Steam lobby id (if hosting a lobby that is open for friends to join - otherwise 0)
name	string	The friend's user name

 

Example:

var info_arr = steam_get_friends_game_info();
var info_num = array_length(info_arr);
var _steam_app_id = steam_get_app_id();
for (var i = 0; i < info_num; i++)
{
    var info = info_arr[i];
    // same game!
    if (info.gameId == _steam_app_id)
    {
        var lobby_id = info.lobbyId;
        // has an open lobby!
        if (lobby_id != 0)
        {
            var user_id = info.friendId;
            var name = info.name;
            // Use steam_lobby_join_id(lobby_id) to join the lobby when asked
        }
    }
}

The above code will check all you friends to see if anyone of them is playing the same game as you are (steam_get_app_id) and check if they have an open lobbies and if so we can request to join the lobby they are in using steam_lobby_join_id.
