I don't understand how to set player data(publisher) and then how other players can retrieve it.
It looks you are using PlayFab Unity SDK, is it right? If so, we will provide the code sample for your Unity project.
Besides, for clarification, the Player Publisher Data cannot be accessed by other players by default. Whether a type of data can be read by others doesn’t depend on whether the data is player publisher data or player title data. It depends whether the permission of the data is public or private. And also to clarify, the player publisher data can be associated with the player master account. It means the same player can own the player publisher data across titles under the same studio. The player title data means the data can be associated with the player title account. It means the same player can only own the player title data in the specific title. Please check the documentations associated with Play Data for more information.
So, if you want let other players can access one player’s data, you would need to set the permission of the data as public. And for your case, if you set the permission of player publisher data, other players will be able to modify it. If you only want to give the player and others read-only permission for the data, please use player publisher read-only data.
You can follow the sample code below to set up the player publisher data and set the data permission as public, so that other players can read the data using the client API GetUserPublisherData, and modify the data using the client API UpdateUserPublisherData. You can also check the documentation - How to use player publisher data to grant a reward for playing multiple titles - PlayFab | Microsoft Docs to check the official sample code about of the usage of player publisher data.
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using PlayFab;
using PlayFab.ClientModels;
public class UpdatePublisherData : MonoBehaviour
{
// Start is called before the first frame update
void Start()
{
var request = new LoginWithCustomIDRequest() { TitleId = "[YourTitleId]", CustomId = "123" };
PlayFabClientAPI.LoginWithCustomID(request, OnSucccuss, OnFailure);
}
private void OnSucccuss(LoginResult obj)
{
var request = new UpdateUserDataRequest() { Data = new Dictionary<string, string>() { { "Class", "Fighter" } }, Permission = UserDataPermission.Public };
PlayFabClientAPI.UpdateUserPublisherData(request, OnUpdateSuccess, OnFailure);
}
private void OnUpdateSuccess(UpdateUserDataResult obj)
{
Debug.Log("Success.");
}
private void OnFailure(PlayFabError obj)
{
Debug.Log(obj.GenerateErrorReport());
}
}
Yes i use unity and i can also set the player data to a value and retrieve it from the same accound but other players can't retrieve it then
As the above code said, you need to specify the permission of the update data request. Specifically, it would be
Permission = UserDataPermission.Public
in the request definition
var request = new UpdateUserDataRequest() { Data = new Dictionary<string, string>() { { "Class", "Fighter" } }, Permission = UserDataPermission.Public };
So, other players can access the data.
Yes, I have permission for the public, but other players still can't access it can you give me a code example to retrieve the player datas?
Could you please provide the code you are using currently to set the player publisher data for our reference?
here is my code:
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using PlayFab;
using PlayFab.ClientModels;
using UnityEngine.UI;
public class PlayfabManager : MonoBehaviour
{
[SerializeField] Text PlayerDataText;
void Start()
{
var request = new LoginWithCustomIDRequest() {TitleId = "85980", CustomId = SystemInfo.deviceUniqueIdentifier, CreateAccount = true};
PlayFabClientAPI.LoginWithCustomID(request, OnSucccuss, OnFailure);
}
private void OnSucccuss(LoginResult obj)
{
//In the Unity editor I run this:
SetPlayerData();
//and with another account I run this:
GetPlayerData();
}
void SetPlayerData()
{
var request = new UpdateUserDataRequest() { Data = new Dictionary<string, string>() { { "Class", "Fighter" } }, Permission = UserDataPermission.Public };
PlayFabClientAPI.UpdateUserPublisherData(request, OnUpdateSuccess, OnFailure);
}
void GetPlayerData()
{
PlayFabClientAPI.GetUserPublisherData(new GetUserDataRequest(), OnDataGet, OnFailure);
}
void OnDataGet(GetUserDataResult result)
{
Debug.Log("Data: " + result.Data["Class"].Value);
PlayerDataText.text = "Data: " + result.Data["Class"].Value;
}
private void OnUpdateSuccess(UpdateUserDataResult obj)
{
Debug.Log("Success.");
}
private void OnFailure(PlayFabError obj)
{
Debug.Log(obj.GenerateErrorReport());
}
}
