Question by Joseph Somday · May 11, 2020 at 07:58 AM · CloudScriptPlayer Datascheduled tasks

How do I add currency to a single user and then to ALL users?,How do I add currency to a single user and then to all users?

Basically, I have a game where a user can earn a point (virtual currency #1). Once they earn a point it's entered into a pool that contains ALL user's points (virtual currency #2) that play the game. The user, in game, can view their amount of points and the total amount of points entered by all users. How can I make a Cloud Script that will add to the user's point's and automatically add to a pool of all user's points?

For adding currency to a single user, you can use the AddUserVirtualCurrency API in CloudScript to do that. However, in the second case, it’s possible that multiple players may be trying to read/write the same data at the same time, which might raise concurrency issues, therefore, you may need an external service such as Redis to track this.
