Hi guys,
Since the gpgs is not working due to conflicting plugins, I’m giving PlayFab a go. But I haven’t found a lot Corona specific tutorials for it.
I got the user logged in correctly and would now like to upload his score to the PlayFab server. This is the code provided on the PlayFab documentation:
POST https://{{TitleID}}.playfabapi.com/Client/UpdatePlayerStatistics Content-Type: application/json X-Authentication: \<user\_session\_ticket\_value\>{ "Statistics": [{ "StatisticName": "Points", "Version": 1, "Value": 600 }, { "StatisticName": "Wins", "Version": 0, "Value": 16 }, { "StatisticName": "Stars", "Value": 7 }] }
So I should use REST API call right? But how exactly?
This is what I’ve got right now in lua code:
function M.uploadHighScore(highscore) local function networkListener( event ) if ( event.isError ) then print( "Network error: ", event.response ) else print ( "Upload complete!" ) end end local headers = {} headers["Content-Type"] = "application/json" headers["X-API-Key"] = "13b6ac91a2" local params = {} params.headers = headers -- Tell network.request() to get the request body from a file: params.body = { filename = "object.json", baseDirectory = system.DocumentsDirectory } network.request( "https://XXXX.playfabapi.com/Client/UpdatePlayerStatistics", "POST", networkListener, params ) end
I basically got this from the Corona docs and filled in the correct address (I changed the XXXX in the request). But other than that, I don’t really know what to do with it.
- First of all, how should I get the user_session_tocken_value?
- The values I want to push, do they have to be in the params.body table?
- Should the body include a json file or can I just include one variable? (because I only need one)
I’m sorry, I have never used the REST API before
