And brainCloud 5.1 is now live. Let us know what you think!

Hi,

The call you're looking for is called UpdateUserName() - https://getbraincloud.com/apidocs/apiref/#capi-playerstate-updateusername

Good luck!

Paul.

Update: Fixed in the latest release
https://github.com/getbraincloud/braincloud-unreal-plugin-src/releases/tag/5.0.1
Thanks Joanne 🙂

Hello Andrey and thank you for your inquiry,

For an approach like this I would recommend grabbing the matchState as a Dictionary<string,object> and then making a new instance of JsonMatchState and filling in each field one at a time.

An example of this would look like to get one of the fields:

JsonMatchState matchState = new JsonMatchState(); var matchState = data["matchState"] as Dictionary<string, object>; matchState.turnNumber = (int) matchState["turnNumber"];

Hope this helps and please let us know if you have further questions or inquiries about this.

Hello! Thanks for your inquiry.

The format of this response has been used for several years so to change it at this point would cause many errors for our clients. However, in situations like this, we have included the JsonFx library to help deserialize dynamic JSON objects with.

One way to deserialize the JSON items would be to include a DeserializeItems(string) method in your Data class to be able to store them in an array using JsonFx's JsonReader.Deserialize(string) method:

public List<Item> Items = new List<object>(); public void DeserializeItems(string jsonResponse) { var response = JsonReader.Deserialize<Dictionary<string, object>>(jsonResponse); var data = response["data"] as Dictionary<string, object>; var items = data["items"] as Dictionary<string, object>; foreach (Dictionary<string, object> item in items.Values) { var newItem = new Item(); newItem.itemId = (string)item["itemId"]; newItem.defId = (string)item["boost_rapidfire"]; newItem.quantity = (int)item["quantity"]; // etc... Items.Add(newItem); } }

Alternatively, you can also use JsonFx's JsonWriter.Serialize(object) method in the foreach loop to then be able to use Unity's JsonUtility to automatically map it as an Item.

Understandably, both methods have their own pros and cons. However, it should be able to get the job done in this case.

Hope this helps! Please let us know if you have further questions or inquiries about this.

Hmm, not really...

You can get the number of sessions created in an hour with this call: https://getbraincloud.com/apidocs/apiref/#capi-globalapp-sysgetdailycounts

But brainCloud doesn't otherwise track a concurrent session count per app.

There are certainly 3rd party analytics packages that you could link into your client that would give you that sort of information though.

Hi Dan,

Thanks for reporting that. We'll get it fixed up.

Hi Kirlos, as you can see from the response's message field, there are two elements (id and name) underneath, you need to append .id to specify the first search field for id, so change the "message.from" to "messsge.from.id" should solve this problem.

Hi,

Here are the steps to setting up a webhook to call a custom cloud code script in brainCloud:

Step 1 - Write your script

Go to Design | Cloud Code | Scripts and create your script You might want to just start with a simple script that logs the incoming parameters (see sample below) Be sure to enable the S2S callable field on the Details page.

Step 2 - Declare the webhook and link it to your script

Go to Design | Cloud Code | WebHooks and create your webhook Link it to the script that you just wrote. If you don't see your script in the list, double-check the state of the S2S callable field You can optionally restrict the webhook to be callable via a range of ip ranges (good for additional security) Click [Save] and copy the webhook URL that gets generated

Step 3 - Go to the external service, and give it your webhook URL

This step varies by service of course.

Step 4 - Trigger the webhook to test

This also varies by service. You could use Postman to do it as well.

Step 5 - Confirm the structure of the incoming parameters

It is a bit difficult to figure out what a webhook will send you ahead-of-time The simplest is to invoke the hook, and then examine the results See the sample logging script below for an example Then view the logged input data via Monitoring | Global Monitoring | Recent Errors. Be sure to enable Info -level messages, and click [Refresh]

Step 6 - Complete the writing of your script

Now that you know how the parameters are being sent, you should be good to complete your script. More info on webhook development here - https://getbraincloud.com/apidocs/apiref/?cloudcode#cc-ccscripts-webhooks Good luck!

Sample script - just dumps parameters:

var response = {}; bridge.logInfoJson("Script invoked from webhook. Contents of data...", data); // Return the webhook response response.statusOverride = 200; response.jsonResponse = {}; response;

Note - you can also view the request sent and response received from your webhook via the Server Logs. For more information on brainCloud logs - see this knowledge base article.

Hope that helps!

Call AttachUniversalIdentity() method from client lib, the username is uniqueness enforced.

Hi,
I temporarily solved it by adding this line in the proguard_user:

-keep class com.braincloud.unity.* { *; }

so the BrainCloud classes are no longer minified.

brainCloud's Cloud Code is based on Apache Rhino, which is an open-source implementation of JavaScript. This engine is highly sandboxed within the brainCloud API servers for security purposes.

brainCloud currently ships with Apache Rhino version 1.7.7.1.

Rhino implements JavaScript 1.7, and is basically ES4 with partial ES5 and ES6 support.

Summary from a Stack Overflow discussion here:

Hope that helps!

Hey, there must be some syntax error in your script, would you be able to provide your script code here?

Hi Dylan, actually, the argument purchaseData for StartPurchase() method takes the Steam Item ID (from Edit Price Entry pop-up) as the input field (not the Item ID from the product list)

I posted this almost 13 days ago with zero answers, so I took some time to look through a bunch of documentation and did a ton of trial and error. Please Braincloud for the love of god add this to your API.

Rhino does not handle Arrays the way that other coding languages do.

I figured it out, unlike most arrays that return an array after you call push- Rhino returns the new length. So if you call push, don't set it's value.

var copyArray = []; //I assume this line tells it to be an array for (var i = 0; i < postResult.data..length; i++) { copyArray[i] = postResult.data[i]; //arrays do not behave like .Net arrays, you can change length without initializing, so you just set each index to the index of the array you're copying } copyArray.push(variableToAdd); //Do NOT set this as the value of your array, the push method returns an int (length of array) NOT an array! //you probably dont need to call push at all to add to the array as shown in the for loop above if you already know your length or want a specific length

Then just set your value to the variable, like this

var entityData = { "variableName": copyArray }; //No need to call Array(copyArray) or any of the prototype. slice stuff. If you call Array() you'll just nest the array a second time.

Use this page for further info on functions you can do with arrays.

This seems to be working now, the error is a wee misleading. The code was correct. The URL was incorrect and was changed to (or leave blank):

const url = "sharedprod.braincloudservers.com"; ... brainclouds2s.request(global.s2sContext, { service: "group", operation: "SYS_CREATE_GROUP", data: groupData, }); })

You can bypass the peer dependencies by adding --legacy-peer-deps flag to your npm install. After modifying package.json, then use npm-install-peers to install the rest of peer dependencies.

And brainCloud 4.9 is live!
