Hi
At present in my game all I want to do is display the rank for the current score posted by the player.
However I noticed two issues:
1) posting and then retrieving the leaderboard in quick succession results in the player's position in the leaderboard not updating with the most recent score, possibly due to latency issues?
2) in order to retrieve the rank I have to get the leaderboard and then parse through at least 10 entries, find the player and then get the position / StatValue, which seems like overkill if all I want to do is display the rank?
....therefore I was wondering if it is possible to be able to Post a stat and get the player position (and the stat value in the leaderboard) upon return of the call? This might save some load on the server and it ought to be much quicker overall. The reason to return the stat value is that what is stored in the leaderboard on the server may or may not be the value just posted, depending on the Aggregation method for it.
Hope this makes sense.
