Hi Liam,


So, i have to unlock every player account every time it is locked? Is there no way to permamently disable locking player accounts?


Thanks,

Hi Rafal, 


You can't disable it, the lock is only a temporary measure so you don't have to do this every time, I believe it lasts for 5 minutes then the user can try to login again. The code above will do it instantly if the situation requires it.

I am confused about how to use this. How does Spark.getPlayer().unlock() know which player I am talking about? And if I am just trying to manually unlock a player account where do I run this cloud code?

Hi Tony,


If a player has locked their account, you would need to authenticate as another user and unlock the original account by using "Spark.loadPlayer()". You can use the following to do this in Cloud Code.

   

//load the locked player by supplying their playerId, pass the id in through the event or set it manually in Cloud Code
var player = Spark.loadPlayer(playerID)

//unlock the account
player.unlock()

   

Now the locked player should be able to authenticate once again. Does that make sense ? If you have any further questions just let me know.


Thanks,

Liam
