Hi,

One thing that you wont be able to do via api is managing users (list api), other than that almost everything is available with cloud script.

Hi,

This is very doable in brainCloud.

Check out the Tiers design note in this knowledge-base article:

Hope that helps!

Cheers,

Hi Chris,

The maximum # of group members is controllable by our support team.

Just send a request to our support team, indicating the name and appId of the app, and what you'd like the max to be and why. (A short description of your use cases would be helpful - since we just need to review to see if we think there would be any performance gotchas).

We'll do a quick review and hopefully approve!

Cheers!

Paul.

This error has been since resolved.

A help article has been made on the groupType page: http://help.getbraincloud.com/en/articles/3272656-design-groups-group-types

If experience similar problems to this forum topic with our Unity library, ensure brainCloud has been added to a gameObject, and that gameObject is not disabled.

Just noticed this was never replied to!

To clarify - our new Users API was delivered in 4.3 late last year.

Cheers!

Paul.

Group Enhancements

Loving the summary data for groups. Made my life easier. Thank you, you guys rock!

Hi,

Unfortunately the answer is no on that one.

(For what it's worth, I'm not sure how we'd make that one work - since brainCloud allows you to link products across AppStores - not sure how we'd be able to establish those relationships in an import).

The good news is that brainCloud allows you to set up one list of products, with multiple price points, across all stores. And then, if you want to change prices (put things on sale, etc) - it's just a couple of quick clicks to do that across all the stores (the new prices would be instantly active).

So we recommend that devs initially configure both a "regular" and a "sale" price for all items.

There's definitely a bit of pain getting it initially configured - but it's well worth it in the long run.

Not the answer you were hoping for - but I hope it helps!

Paul.

@william Thanks a lot for your feedback and suggestions! It’s really helpful, and we appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts.

Just a heads-up, our team is working on this bulk userItem feature.

Hi @william ,

We do have plans to support the new receipts. The work has been assessed - but not scheduled yet. I would expect it to be early next year.

Thanks for asking!

Paul.

Hmm, actually Eric, authentication only happens when called directly in brainCloud.

If you try calling an API and your app isn't authenticated, you'll receive an error - and generally would trigger authentication yourself as part of your error handling.

Does that make sense?

Paul.

[Hi. Apologies - but we only provide support in English.]

You can schedule a recurring daily cloud code script to run after the completion of your daily tournament. This script will use the GetGlobalLeaderboardPage method to retrieve the daily tournament winner's information and score, then post it to the monthly tournament using the PostTournamentScoreOnBehalfOf method.

Hi @LEE-JONG-GUN ,

Thanks for the feedback.

This is admittedly a tricky one.

The best route I've seen to handle it is to use our shared (i.e. parent-child) accounts feature - which involves using a parent app for the player account - and a child app for the character accounts.

Note that it does involve two live apps - but we can put your parent app on a special plan with no live fee (you just pay for API calls) - and there won't be a ton of API call from that app - cause 99% of all calls will be against the child app.

There is more info here - https://docs.braincloudservers.com/learn/key-concepts/authentication/shared-accounts/

I hope that helps!

Paul.

Thank you for sharing this information. It does not have an impact on our server-side validation.

Hi @PJ ,

Your usage of lobbies is exactly why we added the concept of long-lived lobbies. (Admittedly it wasn't part of the original use case - which is probably why some of the documentation doesn't seem to properly reflect that usage <-- we'll review that).

So - needless to say - keep going as you are - and reach out if you hit issues!

Happy coding!

Paul.

You can achieve it by writing a cloud code script that retrieves the data of each individual user's user entities and stores it in a custom entity collection. After that, call the method RunBatchUserScript() to execute this process for every user within the app. Then, the resulting collection can be downloaded for analytical purposes.

Hi there- thanks for bringing this to our attention! A newer version of the Unity Package containing a fix for this has been uploaded. Available here: https://github.com/getbraincloud/braincloud-csharp/releases/tag/5.4.1

Hi @francesco-lenolli ,

The ProductService has actually been deprecated.

You should use the AppStore service instead.

I hope that helps!

Paul.

Additionally!

Using a Pre-Hook, to the Post Score Cloud Code Script, to validate incoming data. Doing the actual JoinTournament / PostTournament Score via Cloud Code Script, once again verifying data. Lastly, validating the results of the Cloud Code Script via Post-Hook, allows developer's to confirm that the incoming data results in the expected outgoing data.

If at any point validation fails, tag the user as a Cheater! If users are going through enough trouble to try and cheat, they must enjoy the apps experience. Instead of blocking the Cheater from using the app, ensure all Cheaters are playing against each other, via a Cheater leaderboards or any other means. This way the apps experience to Cheaters is unchanged, and only cheating against cheaters, but most importantly the rest of the user base does not get negatively impacted via a few rare users.

Any other ideas? Interesting Applications for Cheaters?
