Hi,

So I have a leaderboard with the short code: highScoreLeaderboard and I want to get the current player's rank.

According to the documentation if I leave "player" empty, then it uses the current player, but It always returns null.

Under test harness I tried the following but always returns null:

 

{
 "@class": ".GetLeaderboardEntriesRequest",
 "leaderboards": [
  "highScoreLeaderboard"
 ]
}

 

And in code I tried the following:

 

    string[] leaderBoards = new string[1]{"highScoreLeaderboard"};

    new GetLeaderboardEntriesRequest()
        .SetLeaderboards(leaderBoards)
        .Send((response) => {
          var results = response.Results; 
          var scriptData = response.ScriptData; 

          // Not sure what to put here:
          Debug.Log(scriptData.GetString("rank"));
        });

 

Thank you,

    List<string> leaderboardCodes = new List<string>();
    leaderboardCodes.Add("highScoreLeaderboard");

    GetLeaderboardEntriesRequest leaderboard = new GetLeaderboardEntriesRequest();
    leaderboard.SetLeaderboards(leaderboardCodes);
    leaderboard.Send ((response) => {
      if (!response.HasErrors) {
          string json = response.JSONString;
          var N = SimpleJSON.JSON.Parse(json);
        var value = N["highScoreLeaderboard"]["rank"].AsInt;
        Debug.Log("Player rank: " + value);
      }
      else
        Debug.Log ("Get Player Score Leaderboard: FAIL with error " + response.Errors.JSON);
    });

Personally I couldn't get anything from response.Result, while instead I managed to receive the information I needed using JSON:

 

		GetLeaderboardEntriesRequest leaderboard = new GetLeaderboardEntriesRequest();
		leaderboard.SetLeaderboards(shortCodes);
		leaderboard.Send ((response) => {
			if (!response.HasErrors) {
				string json = response.JSONString;
				var N = SimpleJSON.JSON.Parse(json);
				value = N["PScoreLeaderboard"]["S"].AsInt;
			}
			else
				Debug.Log ("Get Player Score Leaderboard: FAIL with error " + response.Errors.JSON);

 

Hey Beppi,
I will test your snippet (have to dl simplejson etc). In the meantime what is the PScoreLeaderboard and "S"? .

* So I looked in my NoSQL and the player is in fact in the leader boards.
1. I got the ID from NoSQL
2. Facebook authenticated
3. TestHarness GetLeaderboardEntriesRequest with the new ID
4. Get NotAuthorized , NULL.
5. Is my syntax correct for the C# snippet?

Thank you,

 

Hi Beppi,

Sorry for the double post, thought I could edit. So I tested your snippet and keep getting the wrong rank. Here is what I used:

 

    List<string> leaderboardCodes = new List<string>();
    leaderboardCodes.Add("highScoreLeaderboard");

    GetLeaderboardEntriesRequest leaderboard = new GetLeaderboardEntriesRequest();
    leaderboard.SetLeaderboards(leaderboardCodes);
    leaderboard.Send ((response) => {
      if (!response.HasErrors) {
          string json = response.JSONString;
          var N = SimpleJSON.JSON.Parse(json);
        var value = N["highScoreLeaderboard"]["rank"].AsInt;
        Debug.Log("Player rank: " + value);
      }
      else
        Debug.Log ("Get Player Score Leaderboard: FAIL with error " + response.Errors.JSON);
    });

 

 

It seems equal to mine, that appearantly works, at this point I think that it's better if I leave the solution to the customer service who might look if there is something wrong in the leaderboard config...

I also find odd that is necessary to pass through a json object instead of getting the value directly, but what is important is to get the work done :)

BTW, did you authenticate before the request?

Yes, I authenticate via device and facebook, both of which work and retrieve the correct leaderboard data.

 

I would appreciate if customer service could help me out with this issue, The game launch is being stalled because of it.

 

Hi Katie,

Like I previously mentioned, I am fully authenticated, yet I cant make this request. This is my entire issue, is that I'm in-fact authenticated but the request returns NULL.

 

Thank you,

 Hi Katie,

So I finally got it to work with the ID, but according to the documentation if left blank it should use the current ID. How do I go about doing this in C# for unity? I have the following:

  public void GetPlayerRank(){
    List<string> leaderboardCodes = new List<string>();
    leaderboardCodes.Add("highScoreLeaderboard");
    
    new GetLeaderboardEntriesRequest()
      .SetLeaderboards(leaderboardCodes)
        .SetPlayer(AccessToken.CurrentAccessToken.UserId)
        .Send((response) => {
          if(response.HasErrors)
            {
              playerRank.text = "ERROR!"; 
              Debug.LogError("Couldnt get player rank for some reason");
          }else{
            var results = response.Results; 
            var scriptData = response.ScriptData; 
            
            // Not sure what to put here:
            playerRank.text = "RANK: " + results.GetString("rank");
            Debug.Log("RANK Result: " + results.GetString("rank"));
            Debug.Log("RANK Script: " + scriptData.GetString("rank"));
          }
        });
  }

 Is this the correct way to get the ID in code? because its returning nothing so far =/ . Under the test harness it is working though.

Hi Katie,

I'm sorry to be a pain but I have read the documentation and as you can see from my first post I have what is in the documentation. The issue is that I do not know what to do with the GSDATA scriptData in code, and nothing in the documentation tells me what to do with it.

My question is simple, and I need help with it in the code it self.

Given a leaderboard short code named: "highScoreLeaderBoard"
And ID "56103bc5dd3049eb" (example id)
how do I get the rank in c#? The test harness still returns scriptData as null ( it even returns null in code). This is what i see in the test harness:

{
 "@class": ".GetLeaderboardEntriesResponse",
 "scriptData": null,
 "highScoreLeaderboard": {
  "userId": "56103bc5dd3049eb",
  "score": 3865,
  "when": "2015-10-04T05:40Z",
  "city": "city",
  "country": "US",
  "userName": "myName",
  "externalIds": {
   "FB": "2837232"
  },
  "rank": 2
 }
}

 as you can see the scriptData is in fact null.

And here is my c# code:

 

  public void GetPlayerRank(){
    List<string> leaderboardCodes = new List<string>();
    leaderboardCodes.Add("highScoreLeaderboard");
    
    new GetLeaderboardEntriesRequest()
      .SetLeaderboards(leaderboardCodes)
        .SetPlayer("56103bc5dd3049eb")
        .Send((response) => {
          if(response.HasErrors)
            {
              Debug.LogError("Couldnt get player rank for some reason");
          }else{
            var results = response.Results; 
            var scriptData = response.ScriptData; 

            if(scriptData != null){ // ALWAYS NULL
              int rank = int.Parse(scriptData.GetString("rank"));
              Debug.Log("Rank is: " + rank);
            }

            // Not sure what to put here:
			
          }
        });
  }

 

Feel free to look under my account to see this for your self. I have been stuck on this for too long and would appreciate it, if someone could help me with the c# portion. I even tried messing around with the rest of the data under response, but couldnt come up with the rank.

Thank you,
