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.

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.

Hi Gavin,

Did you resolve the crash issue on iOS? I am experiencing it as well, so I feel I must have missed something 🙂

Cheers,

To limit operations like IncrementExperiencePoints() to cloud code only. This will essentially take away the ability to make these calls from the bare client API. You can see a script that enforces these restrictions here - https://getbraincloud.com/apidocs/cloud-code-central/handy-cloud-code-scripts/restrictclientcalls-script/

I downloaded the BrianCloud plug in for Unreal Engine, I can integrate user authentication, and real-time chat between connected players in a day.

Hi Chris,

User entities are primarily indexed by profileId + entityType - so the singleton API will scale well no matter how many players you have.

That said, if your use case gets more complicated, with say hundreds of entities of a particular type per user (say maybe you are modelling user created towns, that sort of thing) - you could consider using Owned Custom Entities instead. You can define addition, custom indexes for those... keeps those lookups fast and efficient.

In addition, if you end up having >1000 Global Entities, you should definitely look at switching to Unowned Custom Entities. Same deal - you can define your own custom indexes...

Hope that helps!

@Henry-Smith said in Recommended way to read Entity data? (Unity, C#):

Sorry to bring back an old thread, but I'm just learning the platform and I thought I'd share my solution to this.

First, define a generic class to handle the raw json response data:
eg. my Tut1_AddTwoNumbers api returns:

{"data":{"response":{"answer":24},"success":true},"status":200} public class Response<T> { public ResponseData<T> data; public int status; } public class ResponseData<T> { public T response; public bool success; }

Then for each api call that you have, define a class that contains the fields that are custom to that response.

public class Tut1_AddTwoNumbersResponse { public int answer; }

Now, you call your function and handle the response like this:

public void Tut1_AddTwoNumbers() { string scriptName = "Tut1_AddTwoNumbers"; // Anonymous object to supply the params. var data = new { num1 = 16, num2 = 8 }; var jsonScriptData = JsonWriter.Serialize(data); SuccessCallback successCallback = (response, userdata) => { var responseObject = JsonReader.Deserialize<Response<Tut1_AddTwoNumbersResponse>>(response); //var responseObject = JObject.Parse(response); Debug.Log($"Success The answer is '{responseObject.data.response.answer}' | raw_json={response}"); }; FailureCallback failureCallback = (status, code, error, userdata) => { Debug.Log(string.Format("Failed | {0} {1} {2}", status, code, error)); }; // Call the script _bc.ScriptService.RunScript(scriptName, jsonScriptData, successCallback, failureCallback); }

this line is the important part:

JsonReader.Deserialize<Response<Tut1_AddTwoNumbersResponse>>(response);

Hope that helps someone!

Hi,

This is easily doable in brainCloud.

Just go to Design | Custom Config | Files in the Design Portal - and use the Global Files (formerly S3 service) to download the files to your app.

Hope that helps!
