I am trying to grant an item to a character and I have two questions. How do I pass in the itemid and how can I get the itemInstance for the item being granted?
I am trying to grant an item to a character and I have two questions. How do I pass in the itemid and how can I get the itemInstance for the item being granted?
The ItemIds for the items you want to grant to the character are specified as an array in the https://api.playfab.com/Documentation/Server/method/GrantItemsToCharacter call (ItemIds). When the items are granted, the return value from the call contains a https://api.playfab.com/Documentation/Server/datatype/PlayFab.Server.Models/PlayFab.Server.Models.GrantedItemInstance array for the items added, which includes the item Instance IDs.
Ok, so I am just trying to a single item and this is my code for the server call.
handlers.GrantItem = function (args)
{
var charaId = "";
var itemId = "";
var playfabId = "";
charaId = args.data.CharaId;
itemId = args.data.ItemId;
playfabId = args.data.PlayFabId;
var itemToGrant = {};
itemToGrant[0] = itemId;
var GrantItemsRequest = server.GrantItemsToCharacter(
{
CharacterId : charaId,
PlayFabId : playfabId,
ItemIds : itemToGrant
});
return GrantItemsRequest.ItemGrantResults;
}
I am getting an error Error Message: PlayFabAPIError InvalidRequest: Invalid JSON in request and it points me to this line: var GrantItemsRequest = server.GrantItemsToCharacter
Okay I fixed the server call now I am having the issue the return data. In the samples it has it as List<ItemInstance> grantedItems = (List<ItemInstance>)result.FunctionResult; but I do not FunctionResult as a method to be called I have tried with just Results but I am getting an error: Error Message: System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. ---> System.InvalidCastException: Cannot cast from source type to destination type.
It sounds like you're probably still using RunCloudScript, yes? You'll want to update to use ExecuteCloudScript, as we've deprecated RunCloudScript, at this point. It will continue to work for previously-shipped titles, but the newer API method is a significant improvement (GetCloudScriptUrl is also no longer needed). The docs for ExecuteCloudScript are here:
