I see that PlayFabClientAPI.GetPlayerStatistics gets statistics for the local player.
Is it possible to get player statistics for another player, specifying a PlayFab ID?
The use case is that I want to display other players' profile information, such as their level, on the client's UI. I'm currently using statistics to store profile levels.
The simplest ways to get stats for another player would be either 1) get the stats via a call to Server/GetPlayerStatistics in Cloud Script, or 2) get the leaderboard around that user (in which you can also get the other stats for the player using the ProfileConstraints) via Client/GetLeaderboardAroundPlayer.
Thanks - the ProfileConstraints will be very useful in particular. Great feature!
However, when I call GetLeaderboardAroundPlayer with ProfileConstraints with ShowDisplayName = true and ShowStatistics = true, on my client, I get an InvalidParams: Invalid view constraints error.
Not sure what I am doing wrong here.
Upon digging deeper, I noticed an inconsistency in that the Unity SDK comment says:
For API calls from the client, only ShowDisplayName, ShowAvatarUrl are allowed at this time.
While online, the documentation says:
On client, only ShowDisplayName, ShowStatistics, ShowAvatarUrl are allowed.
It appears that ShowStatistics is not yet supported.
Any ETA on this fix?
In the Game Manager, click on Settings->Client Profile Options. There, you can specify which of the various pieces of the profile can be returned to the client. This is so that you can protect your title from revealing things to players that you don't want them to be able to access. We'll get the docs updated to reflect this.
Is it possible to use
https://api.playfab.com/documentation/Client/method/GetPlayerCombinedInfo
with GetPlayerStatistics set to true?
That may be simpler than the other suggestions.
