Question How to use Cloud Save to create player guilds/clans?

I noticed in the documentation, the newly added features that allow players to add to 'game data' saved in Unity cloud can be used to facilitate player guilds, but I didn't see any examples of this and am struggling to figure out what would be the best practice to make something like this.

I'd imagine it would be something like a Cloud Code script to 'create a clan' by writing to the game data value for Clans, and then maybe that value containing a json list of all created clans and their members?

Does anyone know what the best practice would be for having player clans?

 

Have a list of clans, at the most basic level a List<string> although you‘ll surely want a custom struct to allow for extra data like when the clan was created, which players have admin roles, etc.

Players are assigned a ClanIndex which is an index into this list.

You need to take into account that a player’s clan may have been deleted. And allow clan leaders to add or remove clan members.

It‘s just a starting point but the basics are really just about assigning a clan index to players and managing a clan (team, guild, etc) list of custom data.
