    I am making a game, and save items to the cloud that includes their scores. I need a way to either save/load somewhere else, OR use cloud save to load other players' data... once I figure that out, I need to load a few players items that have a close score to the searched one.

    -player1

    ------item
    ------------score(50)

    ------item
    ------------score(1)


    -player2

    ------item
    ------------score(5)

    ------item
    ------------score(51)

    -Local player(searches for score of 50)
    --gets both items in players 1 and 2 with scores close to 50 and(unrelated): adds the player+item to a list

    if this is not possible, I would appreciate ANY databases I can use, it simply needs to store files, and have a query/search system.

    I did look into firestore, but there is no way to use it in a desktop app, unless you go through a web, and I don't really want to have to deal with that

    Hi!

    You can use cloud code to access others player data and write a search method for your use case. It is recommended to use the C# module of cloud code so you can setup a repository with your own backend code.

    You can also use Custom Items (using Cloud Code or API) from Cloud Save to save custom data that isn't tied to a player id.

    If you are looking at managing player scores, the Leaderboard service might fit your needs!

    We are looking at introducing features such as querying and/or databases. Stay tuned!

    still not sure how to do this, as I'm not really good at JS at all, and I can't figure out how to do it with C#... any help appreciated... any other databases I could use? I'm hoping I can save/load and query folders with json files, one includes the score. so I need to query(search) based on the score jsons', and load the other json files
