Is there a way to wait until login?
Hello. I have a script that logs in or prompts account register for a player. Is there a way to wait until the player is logged in or not so that when I make API calls from another script, it doesn't give me the "Must be logged in to call this method" error?

Well I suppose your API login call looks like :
PlayFabClientAPI.LoginWithCustomID(request, OnLogin, OnLoginError);
right? So you could have a public readonly bool variable in your OnLogin for example:
OnLogin(){
currentlyLoggedIn = true;
}
Your other script could run a coroutine that would do something like:
While( !myExampleLoginScript.currentlyLoggedIn ) {
//don't go further until myExampleLoginScript.currentlyLoggedIn
//is set to true
yield return null;
}
// when it finally is set to true
// Do the intended task here
Good answer! I set a bool to true when the player is logged in and then access it from whatever script that needs to make api calls.
In some SDKs, like Unity SDK and C# SDK, APIs are capsuled as asynchronous tasks. Paul Boutros provides a feasible workaround, however, in the common scenario, we will add the following APIs in the callback result function. I will use Unity SDK and C# Action as an example：
PlayFabClientAPI.LoginWithCustomID(
new PlayFab.ClientModels.LoginWithCustomIDRequest {
TitleId = "xxxx",
CreateAccount = true,
CustomId = "xxxxxxx"
},
onSuccess => {
print(PlayFabSettings.staticPlayer.ClientSessionTicket);
PlayFabClientAPI.GetLeaderboard(
// additional API calls
);
},
onFailure=> {
print(onFailure.GenerateErrorReport());
});
}
