Groups

Talo groups allow you to apply filters on your player-base to create distinct segments between players. For example, you could have a group for players who are beta testers or players who have completed the game.

To create a group, head over to the dashboard, visit the groups page and create your first group. Take note of the ID as this is how you'll be referring to your group.

Checking membership

You can check if a player's group membership using IsInGroupID() by providing the group ID. Alternatively you can search by group name using IsInGroupName() too.

public bool IsPowerUser()
{
	return Talo.CurrentPlayer.IsInGroupID('9e56e835-eff6-4a6d-ac35-db8e7561af0e')
}

public bool IsBetaTester()
{
	return Talo.CurrentPlayer.IsInGroupName('beta-testers')
}

Fetching individual groups

Groups in the Player class are stubs that only include an id and a name. To retrieve more data about a group, including its members, use the Talo.PlayerGroups.Get() function:

try
{
	var group = await Talo.PlayerGroups.Get(groupId);
	ResponseMessage.SetText($"{group.name} has {group.count} player(s)");
}
catch (Exception e)
{
	ResponseMessage.SetText(e.Message);
}

Group members will only be visible if you've enabled the setting on your group in the Talo dashboard. If membersVisible is false, members will always be an empty array.
