Hi, im following this tutorial :
https://api.playfab.com/docs/tutorials/landing-tournaments/photon-unity
I have a registeryPlayFabAccount method and I dont know how can I tell the client to set up the Photontoken when he just finished to register ...
Also, is this photon token must be set for the 1st registry only or always when a user is logging in ?
I just have this :
private void RequestPhotonToken(LoginResult obj)
{
LogMessage("PlayFab authenticated. Requesting photon token...");
_playFabPlayerIdCache = obj.PlayFabId;
PlayFabClientAPI.GetPhotonAuthenticationToken(new GetPhotonAuthenticationTokenRequest()
{
PhotonApplicationId = PhotonNetwork.PhotonServerSettings.AppID
}, AuthenticateWithPhoton, OnPlayFabError);
}
private void AuthenticateWithPhoton(GetPhotonAuthenticationTokenResult obj)
{
LogMessage("Photon token acquired: " + obj.PhotonCustomAuthenticationToken + " Authentication complete.");
var customAuth = new AuthenticationValues { AuthType = CustomAuthenticationType.Custom };
customAuth.AddAuthParameter("username", _playFabPlayerIdCache);
customAuth.AddAuthParameter("token", obj.PhotonCustomAuthenticationToken);
PhotonNetwork.AuthValues = customAuth;
}
And when the user is logged in, I've wrote this but nothing happens :
GetPhotonAuthenticationTokenRequest request = new GetPhotonAuthenticationTokenRequest();
I dont know if that make sense but that seems me good, have you suggestion to resolve it ?
Are you using the Photon Unity example project linked in that tutorial? The flow is as stated - use PlayFabClientAPI.GetPhotonAuthenticationToken to get the token, and use that to sign into Photon, using their custom authentication system. This is done whenever you log the user in, if you want to connect to Photon. If those steps pass, you're signed into both services, and you can proceed to create lobbies/rooms, as shown in the example.
I'm not clear on what you're referring to with the final GetPhotonAuthenticationTokenRequest reference. That's the object used in the GetPhotonAuthenticationToken call to get the token - it is not an API call itself. You do not need to create another instance of it once you've completed the Photon login, above.
Thanks for your answer.
I successful send tokens for each user that connects by making a copy paste of the script in the tuto in a new project , but I managed to create a connection system with email and password combo and now I am a little lost to send tokens at each connection
Can you teach me a little? I probably look at all the topics about this but I do not understand how to use it with that email/password combo authentcation.
So, you've logged into PlayFab and used the token to sign the players into Photon. Have you done the next step in the example - created a room for the players and connect to it? If you're looking for a deeper dive on specifically using the Photon API calls, you should have a look at the tutorials on their site specific to their service: https://doc.photonengine.com/en-us/realtime/current/getting-started/realtime-intro.
Nono... I expressed myself poorly. Sorry for the confusion.
I meant that I'm at the stage where I'm registered and I have managed to identy myself with that email/password.
And now I'm a stuck to integrate photon after identifying myself.
How to make a token for the user who connects ? What I missed with the code above ?
Yep I managed to get that photon token with the script on the example.
But I've already a script which use an password / email combo.
My English Is not very good, I may be more clear with this schema :
I feel like I'm missing something ?
There is my code, I guess it should be more explicit :
private void OnLoginClicked()
{
_AuthService.Email = Mail.text;
_AuthService.Password = Password.text;
_AuthService.Authenticate(Authtypes.EmailAndPassword);
}
That is when the user click on the login button
And there is the following script :
private void AuthenticateEmailPassword()
{
PlayFabClientAPI.LoginWithEmailAddress(new LoginWithEmailAddressRequest()
{
TitleId = PlayFabSettings.TitleId,
Email = Email,
Password = Password,
InfoRequestParameters = InfoRequestParams
}, (result) =>
{
_playFabId = result.PlayFabId;
_sessionTicket = result.SessionTicket;
if (OnLoginSuccess != null)
{
OnLoginSuccess.Invoke(result);
}
}, (error) =>
{
if (OnPlayFabError != null)
{
OnPlayFabError.Invoke(error);
}
});
}
Can you help me with this photon integration please ?
Sorry I'm probably a bit confusing in with these tokens and my english deesnt help me much ...
My issue is that I have not the same authentication system than in the tutorial, so I'll not copy their 1st one step, that's make no sense. ( If I do this, I'll have 2 authentication method, I'm right ? )
In the tutorial at the 1st step, it's said : " We pass RequestPhotonToken as a callback to be our next step, if authentication was successful. "
I'm stuck because I don't know how to pass the function RequestPhotonToken as a callback with my authentication login above.
To make sure this is clear for anyone else following the thread, the issue here is that there are two stages:
First, you sign the player into PlayFab. That can be done with any of the Login... API calls.
After that is complete, you can use GetPhotonAuthenticationToken to get an authentication token which is valid for signing the player into Photon, using their custom authentication system.
private void AuthenticateWithPlayFab() {
PlayFabClientAPI.LoginWithEmailAddress(new LoginWithEmailAddressRequest()
{
TitleId = PlayFabSettings.TitleId,
Email = Email,
Password = Password,
InfoRequestParameters = InfoRequestParams
}, RequestPhotonToken, OnPlayFabError);
}
private void RequestPhotonToken(LoginResult obj) {
_playFabId = obj.PlayFabId;
_sessionTicket = obj.SessionTicket;
_result = obj;
PlayFabClientAPI.GetPhotonAuthenticationToken(new GetPhotonAuthenticationTokenRequest()
{
PhotonApplicationId = PhotonNetwork.PhotonServerSettings.AppID
}, AuthenticateWithPhoton, OnPlayFabError);
}
private void AuthenticateWithPhoton(GetPhotonAuthenticationTokenResult obj) {
var customAuth = new AuthenticationValues { AuthType = CustomAuthenticationType.Custom };
customAuth.AddAuthParameter("username", _playFabId );
customAuth.AddAuthParameter("token", obj.PhotonCustomAuthenticationToken);
PhotonNetwork.AuthValues = customAuth;
PhotonNetwork.ConnectUsingSettings(_gameVersion);
}
public override void OnConnectedToMaster() {
if (OnLoginSuccess != null)
{
OnLoginSuccess.Invoke(_result);
}
}
Your code.
I think I understood, can you tell me if I'm on the right way ?
private void OnLoginClicked()
}
_AuthService.Email = _Email.text;
_AuthService.Password = _Password.text;
_AuthService.Authenticate(Authtypes.EmailAndPassword);
} private void OnLoginSuccess(PlayFab.ClientModels.LoginResult result)
{
Debug.LogFormat("Logged In as: {0}", result.PlayFabId);
AuthenticateWithPlayFab();
} private void AuthenticateWithPlayFab()
{
PlayFabClientAPI.LoginWithEmailAddress(new LoginWithEmailAddressRequest()
{
TitleId = PlayFabSettings.TitleId,
Email = _Email.text,
Password = _Password.text,
InfoRequestParameters = InfoRequestParams
}, RequestPhotonToken, OnPlayFabError);
}
Thank you guys for all of the answers.
You are authorized with email/password to Photon and PlayFab.
While you need to first authorize with email/password to PlayFab, and get from him photonToken.
And then, with photonToken, to authorized in Photon
Earlier, I showed you the code that suits your situation. Try it.
To anyone getting stuck with this. I used a lot of time to get this working. But this should really not be that hard to find or get a solution for so here you go. The login system is based on a course I followed from Zenva Academy, but I applied the needed system to receive photon tokens. The change of scene can be chosen for your own liking.
