I want to make sure that there are at least 50 seconds between the two calls. If not, then the player is cheating because it's not possible to finish a level 50 seconds after another level was finished. I always call UpdatePlayerStatistics after the player finished a level.
How can I compare the time between the player's last UpdatePlayerStatistics call and his current UpdatePlayerStatistics call?
To help you implement anti-cheating function, you may need to add verification procedure on the Cloud Script.
In terms of the verification, you may need another Statistic/Player internal Data/Player Read-Only Data for recording a timestamp(statistic updates fast and is able to be used for timestamp). When the Cloud Script function is executed, you may create a new timestamp via server time, then compare the current timestamp with stored timestamp. Followings are the rest of things you implement previously in the Cloud Script.
Do you mean this timestamp?
"Timestamp": "2019-12-09T13:56:49.2536994Z"
Is it possible to save "Timestamp" in Player internal Data when I update the leaderboard?
Or is it better to save now.getTime() instead of "Timestamp" in Player internal Data when the player calls UpdatePlayerStatistics?
var now = new Date(); var time = now.getTime();
function UpdatePlayerScore(leaderboardname, score)
{
var result = server.UpdatePlayerStatistics({
PlayFabId: currentPlayerId,
Statistics : [{ StatisticName : leaderboardname, Value : score }]
});
if (result.Error == null)
return { leaderboardupdated: true };
else
return { leaderboardupdated: false };
}
{
"EventName": "player_executed_cloudscript",
"Source": "CloudScript",
"FunctionName": "UpdateLeaderboard",
"CloudScriptExecutionResult": {
"FunctionName": "UpdateLeaderboard",
...
},
"EventNamespace": "com.playfab",
"EntityType": "player",
"TitleId": "BFD0A",
"EntityId": "B735784F8BE943A9",
"EventId": "230f3f3fc4a94840990cd79203eb4f14",
"SourceType": "BackEnd",
"Timestamp": "2019-12-09T13:56:49.2536994Z",
...
}
},
Both methods should work fine since the difference should be the time of Cloud Script execution.(The event is generated after the function execution is done.)
How can I get this timestamp in my CloudScript code?
"Timestamp": "2019-12-09T13:56:49.2536994Z"
if (result.Error == null)
{
// var newtimestamp = ...?
return { leaderboardupdated: true };
}
else
return { leaderboardupdated: false };
