Hi,
I am new to Playfab and have managed to register new players through Unreal (see attached). Can you confirm how I would attach a statistic to the player? A screen shot would be much appreciated.
Additionally I have manually added a statistic called “score” through the Playfab website though I am struggling to recall any data through Unreal. Can you identify if I am missing anything from the image attached, the error code I get back is 1074?
many thanks
The 1074 error is "NotAuthenticated". All the Client API calls (apart from login and password reset) require that you have a signed-in user. Can you try adding that to your project?
Here's the login pattern from the PlayFab Blueprint SDK: https://github.com/PlayFab/UnrealBlueprintSDK/blob/master/Images/01_TestLoginBlueprint.png. We'll see about getting some more examples into that folder as soon as we can.
Thanks for the quick response, I didn't realise you had to login to retrieve data, I have now got it working.
could you offer any advise on how to add a stat to the player? I have only managed to do this from the online portal so far.
In general, I'd advise writing statistics from a server-side operation, so that you can have appropriate checks in that logic to prevent cheating - you can use Cloud Script for this. There's a sample script which is already in your title as revision 1, which shows how to make calls to the Server API. The call you want is:
