You're welcome.

OK that's not going to work. Looks like you are trying to post raw html into your c# code.

You want something like this in your C# code:

        void AddCurrency()
        {
            AddUserVirtualCurrencyRequest request = new AddUserVirtualCurrencyRequest();
            request.VirtualCurrency = "CU"; //put your virtual currency code here
            request.Amount = 100; //put the amount in here

            PlayFabClientAPI.AddUserVirtualCurrency(request, _OnAddCurrencyResult, _OnPlayFabError);
        }

        void _OnAddCurrencyResult(ModifyUserVirtualCurrencyResult _thisResult)
        {
            //Do all your successful handling in here
            Debug.Log("User has a current balance of: " + _thisResult.Balance + " (" + _thisResult.VirtualCurrency + ") after this change: " + _thisResult.BalanceChange);
        }

        void _OnPlayFabError(PlayFabError _thisErrorResult)
        {
            //Do all your error handling in here.
            Debug.LogWarning("Got an error: " + _thisErrorResult.ErrorMessage);
        }

Also in the documentation it says Im required to put a PlayFabID. But I don't want to take the money from a specific person? I want to take the money from who ever is logged in, the current user.

Hi there, Firstly, when you login you will be returned the current users ID when you login in. So just use this when dealing with these kind of operations. Secondly, in order to make sure this works you need to have the API calls activated in the game manager under settings. They are disabled by default to discourage the use due to the fact you should never really trust the client. Finally, you can use the AddUserVirtualCurrency and SubtractUserVirtualCurrency by using the api calls. The call will return the remaining balance and a few other things too. I hope this helps, Justin.

Actually, looking at your links - you seem to be using the Server API instead of the Client API. You should only really use the Client API. The Client API doesn't actually ask for the UserID because it will automatically use the user that you logged in as for the operation.

...and remember to put the correct using statements at the top or it won't work:

using PlayFab;
using PlayFab.ClientModels;
