Posting to Gamecenter

Games
#1

Gamecenter is successfully initiated, however the score will not post.

First, _G.score exists, i promise. Everything is set up in itunes connect, the only problem is posting the score. Thanks!
[lua]local gameNetwork = require “gameNetwork”
local function initCallback( event )
if event.data then
loggedIntoGC = true
native.showAlert( “Success!”, “User has logged into Game Center”, { “OK” } )
else
loggedIntoGC = false
native.showAlert( “Fail”, “User is not logged into Game Center”, { “OK” } )
end
end
gameNetwork.init( “gamecenter”, initCallback )
if loggedIntoGC == true then
local function requestCallback( event )

end
gameNetwork.request( “setHighScore”,
{
localPlayerScore = { category=“com.boltvisual.L.arts”, value= _G.score },
listener=requestCallback
})
end[/lua]

Thanks again! [import]uid: 59735 topic_id: 22334 reply_id: 322334[/import]

I’m a little thrown off by your “ifs” and “ends” here.

It doesn’t look as though line 16 is within a function.

Is this throwing any errors when called?

Have you tried prints statements to debug? (Such as a print statement right before setting the highscore?) [import]uid: 52491 topic_id: 22334 reply_id: 89008[/import]

Only thing I can think of is changing it to this:

local function requestCallback( event )  
 if event.data then  
 native.showAlert( "Success!", "", { "OK" } )  
 end  
end  
  
if loggedIntoGC then   
 gameNetwork.request( "setHighScore",   
 {   
 localPlayerScore={ category="com.boltvisual.L.arts", value=\_G.score },  
 listener=requestCallback   
 })  
end

Not fully sure if that will make a difference or not but thats how I have mine setup and it works. if thats not it, the only other thing I can think of is making sure your category spelling matches up with what you set in Connect. might of accidentally messed something up in one of them.

So with my sandbox account, should the score be updating, because its not… [import]uid: 59735 topic_id: 22334 reply_id: 89080[/import]

#5

so the logging in works, but the native alert for the event data does not…

[lua]local gameNetwork = require “gameNetwork”

local function all()
local function initCallback( event )
if event.data then
loggedIntoGC = true
native.showAlert( “Success!”, “User has logged into Game Center”, { “OK” } )
else
loggedIntoGC = false
native.showAlert( “Fail”, “User is not logged into Game Center”, { “OK” } )
end
end

– function to listen for system events

if loggedIntoGC == false then
gameNetwork.init( “gamecenter”, initCallback )
end

local function requestCallback( event )
if event.data then
native.showAlert( “Success!”, “”, { “OK” } )
end
end

if loggedIntoGC then
gameNetwork.request( “setHighScore”,
{
localPlayerScore={ category=“com.boltvisual.L.arts”, value=_G.score },
listener=requestCallback
})
end
end

Try a print after line 22 and 23 - do they both print? [import]uid: 52491 topic_id: 22334 reply_id: 89220[/import]

#7

well game center only works on the device, can i print from there? [import]uid: 59735 topic_id: 22334 reply_id: 89227[/import]

#8

okay, i got the native alert to print the score after it posts it from event.data. However, from the gameccenter app, i dont see the score increasing. Also, it only posts the first time? [import]uid: 59735 topic_id: 22334 reply_id: 89235[/import]

#9

UPDATE: I figured out that at my menu scene, i was declaring loggedIntoGC false! All fixed. However, it still doesn’t update in the GC app…i am using a sandbox account. Is this normal? [import]uid: 59735 topic_id: 22334 reply_id: 89240[/import]

#10

Just a question here… What is the point of wrapping all of that up into a function with a 2ms delay? Why not just leave it out of a function and it will trigger when that page is loaded into the app without any need for a timer and “all” function?

As far as the Sandbox/updating question, I’m not 100% on this one, but with my latest app which is the first time I’ve used GC, when I test on the iOS Simulator using the Sandbox account it doesn’t update any GC scores from my app when testing. But I released it using the same code that doesn’t update in the simulator and it all updates fine on the device to GC. [import]uid: 69700 topic_id: 22334 reply_id: 89247[/import]

A little late but yes, you can view print statements on device - just have it plugged into Xcode and view console :slight_smile: [import]uid: 52491 topic_id: 22334 reply_id: 89256[/import]
