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);
    });

 

 

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

 

 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,

 

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 :)

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,

BTW, did you authenticate before the request?

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