this is what i have

if gms_session_exists(1) //Example

{
show_message("Showing Sessions")
script_execute(gms_session_find_type_,gms_session_count())
if gms_session_exists(0)
{
room_restart()
}
if gms_session_exists(1)

show_message("error No Sessions Found")
room_restart()
}

gms_session_exists (and the other gms_session_* functions you're using too) expects a session ID, not a session type. It would look something like this:

var session_id = gms_session_find_type_(1)
if session_id == -1
{
// create session
} else {
// join session
}

(assuming gms_session_find_type_ is the script shown on the gms_session_count page)

oh :|

so its like

var session_id = gms_session_find_type_(1)
if session_id == -1
{
// create session
} else {
// join session
}

but then what is this part for

if session_id == -1
{
// create session
} else {
// join session
}

wait is it like if theres a session open it joins it? and if not it does nothing

if you can give me and ex for creating one and joning one :/

If you made the custom script "gms_session_find_type" found in the tutorial you just have to do this:

var session = gms_session_find_type(1);
if session {
gms_session_join(session);
} else {
gms_session_create(1);
}

it search for type 1 session, if it found one it join it, else it makes one

It Worked I Did This

var session = gms_session_find_type(1);
if session {
gms_session_join(session);
room_goto (rm_session);
} else {
gms_session_create(1);
room_goto (rm_session);
}

And It Was Good

Wait Will This Work :|

var session = gms_session_find_type(1);
if session {
if gms_session_player_count(session_id) < 4
{gms_session_join(session);
room_goto (rm_session);
gms_show_message("Found A Campain Game");} else {room_goto(rm_play);
gms_show_message("Its Full Sorry")}
} else {gms_show_message("none found Creating One")
gms_session_create(1)
room_goto (rm_session)
}

frogot to add

var session_id = gms_session_id(session_id)
