Resolved How can I extract values to use from the data the methods return?

I have been setting up leaderboards according to the documentation, but I hit a roadblock. I cannot figure out a way to get any actual leaderboard values from the data returned from
LeaderboardsService.Instance.AddPlayerScoreAsync()

Here is my code:

Code (CSharp):

1. using System.Collections;
2. using System.Collections.Generic;
3. using UnityEngine;
4. using Unity.Services.Core;
5. using Unity.Services.Authentication;
6. using Unity.Services.Leaderboards;
7. using Unity.Services.Leaderboards.Models;
8. using Newtonsoft.Json;
9.  
10. public class leaderboardManagement : MonoBehaviour
11. {
12.  
13.     public LeaderboardPlayer playerRanking;
14.  
15.     public async void AddWin()
16.     {
17.         var playerEntry = await LeaderboardsService.Instance.AddPlayerScoreAsync("Wins", 1);
18.         print(JsonConvert.SerializeObject(playerEntry));
19.  
20.         //Failed solution: JsonConvert.PopulateObject(JsonConvert.SerializeObject(playerEntry), playerRanking);
21.        
22.     }
23. }
24.  
25. public class LeaderboardPlayer
26. {
27.     public string playerId { get; set; }          
28.     public string playerName { get; set; }
29.     public string rank { get; set; }
30.     public string score { get; set; }
31.     public string tier { get; set; }
32.     public string updatedTime { get; set; }          
33. }
34.  

I want to be able to access each individual value, but I have no idea where to start. Thanks in advance for any advice!

 

You can directly access the data without serializing it to json.
LeaderboardsService.Instance.AddPlayerScoreAsync() returns an Object of type Unity.Services.Leaderboards.Models.LeaderboardEntry.

For example you can get the value for the playername with "playerEntry.PlayerName".

 

That worked perfectly, thank you! I can't believe it was that simple.

 

Just wanted to add to this after some tinkering, all the possible values to get from GetPlayerScoreAsync are:
.PlayerId
.PlayerName
.Rank
.Score
.Tier
.UpdatedTime

It would be really beneficial to have this somewhere in the documentation for future users.

 

How can I get the values from GetPlayerRangeAsync?

Edit:
I found it after even more experimentation, and it goes as thus. The GetPlayerRangeAsync() function returns an Object of type Unity.Services.Leaderboards.Models.LeaderboardScores, which contains an Array of Unity.Services.Leaderboards.Models.LeaderboardEntry Objects organized by rank. For example, you can access the name of the player in the highest returned rank above you with

Code (CSharp):

1. //LeaderboardScores is a stand-in name for whatever you name your object.
2.  
3. print(LeaderboardScores.Results[0].PlayerName);

I once again must stress to the Unity Team how vital it is that this information be available in the Leaderboards documentation. Thank you for your previous answer, as I would not have been able to figure this out had you not paved the way.

 

GetPlayerRangeAsync() returns an object of type Unity.Services.Leaderboards.Models.LeaderboardScores which has a member with the name Results. Results is a list of LeaderboardEntries, so you could access the values for example this way:

Code (CSharp):

1. var response = await LeaderboardsService.Instance.GetPlayerRangeAsync(LeaderboardId);
2.  
3. foreach (var entry in response.Results)
4. {
5.     Debug.Log(entry.PlayerName);
6. }

 

Almost perfect timing! I had just figured this out right as you posted your reply...
