GetUserDataResult doesn't have PlayFabID?

Using the client API, I am having players in a photon room that have OnPhotonPlayerConnected() called attempt to download the new player's Data and customize their model based on the values i've stored there. But the GetUserDataResult does not have the PlayFabID anywhere in the object.

Am I doing something wrong? I am setting PhotonNetwork.nickname to the PlayFabID. Someone joins the room I am called GetUserData with a request with PlayFabID == PhotonPlayer other.nickname). But then when I get the data, the GetUserDataResult 'result' has no ID attached to it.

The only thing I can think of off the bat is to have a monobehavior on the instantiated player object itself. That way, it can call the GetUserData itself, and reference a callback method that is on the same GameObject. I'll have the owner.Nickname somewhere on that object that the callback can grab when it fires. I typically like managers to do everything setup-related on game objects though, it feels like the wrong structure to have a player object fire it's own GetUserData, and have its own callback.

When making a request using one of our SDKs, the result should include a "Request" field that will allow you to access the parameters passed into the request such as the PlayFabId.

Accessing the fields of the request may slightly differ depending on the SDK. For example, when using Unity you will have to cast the "Request" object stored in the "Result" as the appropriate type of request as below. This is because the request is initially of the generic "PlayFabResultCommon.Request" type.

GetUserDataRequest request = (GetUserDataRequest) result.Request;
string id = request.PlayFabId;

That's what I first tried, and don't see that data returned.

Oh I guess I don't know the C# reason why I have to cast it like you did. Yours works.

Glad to hear it worked! The C# reason that the cast is important is that the generic form of "PlayFabResultCommon.Request" that the request is passed as, has no actual fields to access or concept of what "PlayFabId" is. So you must cast it to "GetUserDataRequest" so that the compiler knows what you are trying to access is a string called "PlayFabId".

Yeah thanks for that. I assumed since the request is a type that derives from ClientModels that it knew what it was.
