Since the Gamelift Server SDK 5.x documentation for unreal engine is flat out wrong, what is the correct usage of initSDK?

Question

If we look at the documentation here:

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/gamelift/latest/developerguide/integration-server-sdk5-unreal-actions.html#integration-server-sdk5-unreal-initsdk

1. The variable is initialized as serverParameters but then later referred to as just parameters, which appears to be a mistake
2. You can't use `null` as a value in C++, since the type of FServerParameters is a struct containing `FString`s, the correct "empty" value for each property would be `TEXT("")`, but I've seen other examples that use `nullptr`, so, I don't know which is supposed to be correct.
3. Considering the documentation is wrong... what is right? How do I properly call InitSDK in a managed EC2 environment in a way that's syntactically valid?

Answer

Hello Vedgy,

Thank you for bringing these points to our attention. I've alerted the team to look into the changes.

In the meantime, does providing a default ServerParameter object work for you?

Instead try without the assignments,
```
//Define the default server parameters
FServerParameters serverParameters;

//InitSDK will establish a local connection with GameLift's agent to enable further communication.
gameLiftSdkModule->InitSDK(serverParameters);
```

Regards,

Jackson
