Hello, I m currently searching somes info about the display name.
I have seen that there is a tuto only for this part, there :
https://api.playfab.com/docs/tutorials/landing-players/getting-player-profiles
But I lack information, I do not understand where is stored the display name after the " GetPlayerProfile " call.
I have already used the which is shown in the tuto, but how can I use the result to associate it with a text in Unity for example ?
My thanks.
Here's a quick guide to learn how to read our API documentation. Almost all new customers will start with the Client API documentation:
Client API Documentation
Find your API method, in this case, GetPlayerProfile:
GetPlayerProfile
Scroll down to the "Response Details", and, in this case, note there's only 1 sub-object, which is the "PlayerProfile" itself. Click the PlayerProfileModel link to see more details about that object type. PlayerProfile is the property name, and PlayerProfileModel is the type-name in this case.
PlayerProfileModel
You will find your answer in that last link, as the string DisplayName is one of the PlayerProfileModel fields. You can see lots of other information in the Profile if it's returned for your request/title. Your title settings in game manager will determine which elements of this information you can retrieve by clients.
To review, you should find your display name here:
var displayName = result.PlayerProfile.DisplayNameafter following each of the links above.
All of our API calls work the same way, you have a request object, a response callback object and an error object. To answer your question, you would grab the result from the response callback and store it in a variable of your choosing. The example shows how to do this pretty well.
Below is the basic principle for any api call.
PlayFabClientApi.[methodName] ( [request object], [callback method], [error handling method] )
Therefore, your callback method would resemble something like this.
(result)=>{
//Note, that the variable is some variable that I have made up
//Also note that we grab the Display name from the result in our callback method.
var myVariable = result.PlayerProfile.Displayname
}
We do not provide general programming support, however I hope that the above example and response will help you on your way.
Yep thanks.
The principle of the api call wasnt lucid in my mind
I think I understood and it will be the right one for the next api call
void GetPlayerProfile(string playFabId)
{
PlayFabClientAPI.GetPlayerProfile(new GetPlayerProfileRequest()
{
PlayFabId = playFabId,
ProfileConstraints = new PlayerProfileViewConstraints()
{
ShowDisplayName = true
}
},
result => DisplayName = result.PlayerProfile.DisplayName,
error => Debug.LogError(error.GenerateErrorReport()));
}
Thanks again
Thanks for your answer.
Before writing this topic I've read all thread that you had sent ( about player profile ) but the function that I need is written nowhere except in the tutorial ?
How can i know how to write a function that returns me the displayname in a variable with these links above ?
I probably have a bad method of analysis the API, that's why I'm asking you.
After reading all the link above many time I still dont know how to do :x
In general how to go about it ?
I guess it must be like this because it's shown in the tutorial...
void GetPlayerProfile(string playFabId)
{
PlayFabClientAPI.GetPlayerProfile(new GetPlayerProfileRequest()
{
PlayFabId = playFabId,
ProfileConstraints = new PlayerProfileViewConstraints()
{
ShowDisplayName = true
}
},
}
Here is the guide you should read: https://api.playfab.com/docs/tutorials/landing-players/getting-player-profiles
Specifically Step 2 - Making a player profile call
Also, one of the ways to find out API call behavior/ result would be running your API calls into Postman tool.
Knowing how to call the Web API methods manually is invaluable when you are trying to integrate PlayFab with your game. If a function isn’t working out quite how you expect, being able to call it in a tool that shows you the specific response data and any error messages is a powerful way to debug those calls. There are a number of tools out there that make it easy to interact directly with a Web API, but one that we really like is the Postman Chrome plugin.
This link https://api.playfab.com/docs/tutorials/execute-playfab-api-via-postman will give you step by step guide on how to test your API calls via Postman
You are telling that I need necessarily this Postman tool to get the displayname or I can use an unity script ?
As it's shown in the tutorial there is this function to get the player display name
voidGetPlayerProfile(string playFabId){
PlayFabClientAPI.GetPlayerProfile(newGetPlayerProfileRequest(){
PlayFabId = playFabId,
ProfileConstraints =newPlayerProfileViewConstraints(){
ShowDisplayName =true}},
result => Debug.Log("The player's DisplayName profile data is: "+ result.PlayerProfile.DisplayName),
error => Debug.LogError(error.GenerateErrorReport()));}
But I wonder how to stock it in a variable, Paul Gilmore was helping me about this.
I'm still wondering where to put this line, and how can I know that I must do that ?
var displayName = result.PlayerProfile.DisplayName
My thanks
I just found that
The script must be like this ?
My thanks
