Hi,
Actually - voting leaderboards are implemented via the PostScoreToLeaderboardOnBehalfOf() call - where you can basically vote for someone else's score. [i.e. voting for that person].
Create the leaderboard as a "Cumulative" leaderboard - and basically the player votes for the score of another player - incrementing it by +1.
I suppose we should add those details to the roadmap item!
I hope that helps to clarify things!

As I mentioned in the support chat - the issue is that midnightPSTinUTC isn't dynamically calculated for midnight today -- it's midnight PST on Oct 4th. [i.e. over a week ago].
What's happening is the call is accepting that past date - which puts the script in the front of our queue to be run ('cause we think we're late!) - and it gets run in the next 60 second job interval. And then reschedules itself in the past again.
So basically this script is running roughly 60*24 = 1440 times a day.
Anyway - I'll have the devs look into it - we should return an error if you are scheduling the script too far into the past... [i.e. a second or two in the past is probably fine - and best to do in case the scheduling script has delays of some sort... but clearly 10 days in the past is too far! Probably 60 mins in the past is too far!

@larrybiely over 12K API calls a day? Hmm - I'll take a look at that script...
HI @richard - we're currently working on a feature that will handle this directly for brainCloud 5.9.
In the meantime, an interim approach would be to:
Just a thought...
[But yeah - we're going to have a more direct solution in 5.9 - which is currently targeted for November release.]

Thanks for reporting this @devsleeper !
@devsleeper - we hope you like it!
Hi folks,
We are pleased to announce the Early Access availability of our new Visual Studio Code plug-in.
https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=braincloud.vscode-bccfs
As you would expect, this plug-in enables developers to create and edit cloud code scripts directly from the comfort of their Visual Studio Code IDE.
Key capabilities:
Integrating with Visual Studio Code enables developers to leverage the advanced capabilities of that IDE, such as refactoring and AI assistance! (Note - the AI suggestions aren't always right - but they will hopefully get better!)
Also note that the extension does not support running the scripts from the IDE. You still need the brainCloud Portal for that!
Key requirements:
Troubleshooting tips:
Anyway - give it a test run and let us know what you think!
Paul.
Cool. Thanks for the update @MattForemanDev !
Hi @MattForemanDev ,
Thank-you for the very detailed explanation of your situation. We'll review it with the devs.
Question - do you know if the id used to identify end-users is the same across both devices? i.e. I'm assuming that ideally, if someone logs into the game via Quest - and then later Rift - you'd want them both accessing the same account - with the same player progress, etc. - right?
Paul.
Cool - good to hear it. And once again: thanks for reporting it!
