Hi Abdullah,

So the challenge technically doesn't exist until the player receives a CreateChallengeResponse, this is where you should set the score to beat. We can do this by taking the challengeInstanceId from the response and using that to load the challenge object and then set the scriptData like so:

Cloud Code -> Responses -> CreateChallengeResponse

var thisChallenge= Spark.getChallenge(Spark.getData().challengeInstanceId);

if(thisChallenge.shortCode === "abdullahsGame"){
    challenge.setScriptData("scoreToBeat", 10);
}
 

As you can see, we are actually checking the shortCode of the challenge to make sure it's the one we want to set scriptData against. This is because CreateChallengeResponse is called for every challenge type and you might not want to store a turn on all of them right away.

Ah so in this case we must create the challenge, wait for the response, on the response log an event with an attribute for the challengeInstanceId and the score, in the cloud code of that event have it set the scriptData to the challenge like in the example above.

You can do this in Unity by nesting the LogEvent in the Response of the CreateChallengeRequest and taking the challengeInstanceId from the response. The reason we use LogEvent instead of LogChallengeEvent in this case is that if you LogChallengeEvent before the challenge has started/not your turn your event will not fire. LogEvent lets us manipulate the challenge without the safety features getting in the way.

I've added you to a game that has this set up. A run through looks like:

Hi Abdullah,

It's important to make sure that the challenge is not set to "Turn Based" in the Configurator. While this is a turn based scenario, we know player 1 will always have set their score to the challenge and that once player 2 has received/accepted the challenge it will be there go. This should fix your problem.
