Oh, server can use client API

Okay, I built it using the commented out part above.

Gooood!!!

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 A newer version of the Unity Package containing a fix for this has been uploaded.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. [image: 1726617384339-2024-09-17_19-55-15-resized.png]

Yup. We as devs often resist change. Hopefully you'll come to appreciate Portal-X as you use it more!

one workaround im thinking of doing is having a "fake" user stat. one that tracks the actually XP and another that's "unlocked XP". then just increase the unlocked XP whenever someone "claims" the milestone

Update - we discussed it and we think you are good to go. A test of 1000 stats revealed that the resulting statistics object (that contains all values) was only about 64KB - which is smaller than I had feared. So it looks like 2000-2500 stats will come in less than 200KB. Note - that IS 200KB more data that will be returned during an Authenticate call - and during readUserState() - but it should work okay. I assume you'll be creating these stats dynamically. That is controlled via the setting on this page (you've probably already discovered it). [image: 1724765928014-2024-08-27_09-37-51-resized.png] One warning is that stats are case sensitive - so we'd definitely recommend that you standardize the creation/accessing of the stats - maybe do an uppercase() or lowercase() cast before creating / accessing them. I hope that helps. Good luck! Paul.

Great. This perfectly answers my question. Thank you!

Hmm - not currently - but it's coming... Unfortunately it didn't make it into 5.4 (which drops in a few weeks) - so that will end up in 5.5. Paul.

brainCloud doesn't directly support loot boxes currently... Though of course the Item Catalog and User Items services give you the building blocks to construct your own system in cloud code. To implement such a system, you would: use Global Entities or Unowned Custom Entities to represent the collection of loot box templates construct your JSON with the rules (percentages, etc.) for constructing the loot box then write a cloud code script that when run - performs the work to award the user the relevant items Note - there are future plans to add such a feature to brainCloud - but it isn't scheduled yet. I'll add your +1 ! Paul.

Hi - normally what you'd do there is attach it as a reward to XP level 1. <- XP level 1 has a minimum XP of 0 - so users get it when the user account is created. I hope that helps!

If looking for a Discord to chat with other devs implementing BC, the "GBaaS" Discord server has an official ambassador inside (although mostly for use with a feedback bot to forward to themselves and unofficial dev chatter with other folks implementing BC). It's decently active in the #braincloud channel: https://i42.games/gbaas (disclaimer: I run this server, but it's been around since 2016)

Hi, Thanks for the suggestion. We're actually working on more country support right now - so adding segment criteria for it makes total sense. As for the "OR" and "AND" support - the system currently supports "AND" ... ... but yeah, adding "OR" will be a bigger deal. I'll run it by the devs and add it to the roadmap with your +1 though... Paul.

Hi Lee, brainCloud's pricing models are designed to accommodate changes in usage over time. Apps using Enterprise features in the Business/Business + plans are still allowed to access those features if they later downgrade to Standard or Lite plans. Note that the app will no longer be covered by the Business / Business Plus plan SLA though. I hope that helps! Paul

@Brad-Hester That bug has been fixes (and patched). Thanks for reporting it!

Ciao @Paul-Winterhalder , yes there is not much else to add, except perhaps the fact that the CompleteMatch is sent at the end of the game. Instead, AbandonMatch is sent if one of the players abandons the game prematurely. Thanks for the support!

In case anyone else had a similar issue... There was a Cloudflare-related cert issue associated with a site called cdn.jsdelivr.net. As I understand it, the Monaco editor that Portal-X uses for editing source and JSON files (and many other common web-based components) makes use of that site. More details on the issue here: https://github.com/jsdelivr/jsdelivr/issues/18565 The issue was temporary - and seems like it only affected only certain localized regions... (just a guess on my part there). Anyway - all good now - and nothing directly related to brainCloud. Paul.

brainCloud supports a wide range of popular in-app purchases, including Google Play, Apple, Facebook, Amazon, and Steam, etc.. In most cases, the purchase process is initiated through the corresponding IAP plugin that you need to download into your Unity project. Then, verify the receipt received from the purchase outcome with brainCloud by calling VerifyPurchase API. It should be noted that the necessary configuration for the IAP store must be set up in the brainCloud portal for your app, including the products section and platforms section. Some store integration examples are available on our documentation website -- https://docs.braincloudservers.com/learn/portal-tutorials/store-integration-google/ Hope this helps!

Diving into our new game and found a work-around ~ use private viewing. I have our reference game open in a private window, and the new project in the main one.
