Leaderboard Creator

I have this game I am making and I want an input name field panel to pop up on the GameOver screen only when the player achieves a higher score than the previous uploaded score. Of course if there is no personal entry uploaded previously I just want the score to be uploaded. I tried doing it this way to enable the input username panel:

public class UIGameOver : MonoBehaviour
{
    [SerializeField] TextMeshProUGUI scoreText;
    [SerializeField] GameObject inputPlayerPanel;
    ScoreKeeper scoreKeeper;
    private void Awake()
    {
        scoreKeeper = FindObjectOfType<ScoreKeeper>();
    }
    private void Start()
    {
        scoreText.text = "You Scored:\n" + scoreKeeper.GetScore();
        Leaderboards.Laser_Defender.GetPersonalEntry(HighScoreEntry);
    }
    void HighScoreEntry(Entry entry)
    {
        int score = scoreKeeper.GetScore();
        if (score > entry.Score)
        {
            inputPlayerPanel.SetActive(true);
        }
    }
}

And here is the submit score code:

public void SubmitScore()
{
    SetLeaderboardEntry(inputPlayerName.text, scoreKeeper.GetScore() );
    Debug.Log("Player name: " + inputPlayerName.text);
    Debug.Log("Score: " + scoreKeeper.GetScore());
}

After clearing PlayerPrefs, I tried this code got a Bad Web Request:Should I have used local variables in my code before the Personal Entry was defined or something else? 

Should I have used the Leaderboard Search query instead?

I am having trouble figuring out how UpdateEntryUserName is used. I don't know much about C# and it would be helpful if you could provide a example scenario and script where you might use UpdateEntryUserName and how it is different from UploadNewEntry. You don't have UpdateEntryUserName in your demo scene for some reason. 

Can you help me how to delete all users in the leaderboard, not in the dashboard?

Wish we could use it with godot.

I like how easy this is to use, however I need some help. I am working on a pinball game and getting ready to launch it. I love the idea of using your leader-board. My issue is that when the game is running the player has the option of changing who is playing. When the leader-board is sent an updated score and name the name previously on the leader-board is changed to the new name entered. I assume that there is something set up when the game starts that it only effects updates in that session. Is there a work around?

    public void SetLeaderboardEntry(string userName, int score)    {       

        LeaderboardCreator.UploadNewEntry(leaderBoardKey,userName, score,((msg) =>
        {            GetLeaderboard();

        }));

    }

Hello Dan, the Unique Usernames is a great addition to the leaderboard. 

I noticed now that when you have Unique names enabled and I try to call GetLeaderbord with SearchQuery-> Username("Test"), if there is another similar username, lets say ("MyTest" or "Te" or "est") it will return them too. 

Would it be possible to make GetLeaderboard(SearchQuery) return the exact UserName (If Unique Username is enabled) instead of all the ones that contain it?

EDIT: This is just a feedback that could be useful for future versions. Not an issue with the leaderboard or hotfix. On my side I could get my intended behaviour with one line of code, but would be nice to get just the unique entry in the future

Hello Dan, Im so happy with this leaderboard youve created. Its so simple to integrate and works perfectly. I just noticed something today: 

When using the UpdateEntryUsername() method, the profanity filter does not catch bad words. They are only catched when creating a new entry. Is this intended behaviour? 

Hi Dan! Fantastic tool - thanks so much for making it! =)

Quick question: How would I go about obtaining the rank int of just the newly uploaded entry? I've been racking my brain trying to figure it out and downloaded the demo, but haven't been able to come up with a solution.

Hey real quick I get an error when trying to add using Dan.Main

This is absolutely amazing! :D Thanks so much but I have one small problem with the extra string choice, for some reason it doesn't showup on my actual leaderboard (in game) in text. Thanks :DDD

Hey I have a question. I want to clear the leaderboard daily How can I automate it in this leaderboard tool?? 

Hi Dan. Please help me! I purchased your premium leaderboard, but I don't know how to use it. It seems to be the same as the free version.

In addition, when I tested the leaderboard, I found that when my rank is after about 100, I will not be able to get my rank alone

My code is:

public static void RequestSelfRank(string key, string userName, Action<bool, int> callback)

         {

             if (!CheckValid())

             {

                 callback?.Invoke(false, 0);

                 return;

             }

             var query = LeaderboardSearchQuery.ByUsername(userName);

             LeaderboardCreator. GetLeaderboard(key, false, query, (rankData)=>

             {

                 var success = true;

                 if (rankData == null || rankData. Length == 0)

                 {

                     success = false;

                 }

                 var selfRank = 0;

                 if (success)

                 {

                     var self = rankData[0];

                     selfRank = self.Rank;

                 }

                 if (selfRank <= 0)

                 {

                     success = false;

                 }

                 callback?.Invoke(success, selfRank);

             });

         }

Hey I love this its so good and thanks for making it free. Easy to implement too. I use it in my most recent game and will most likely use it in future game jams.

EDIT: I had initially thought that the profanity filter wasn't working as I was in a hurry and implemented it last minute but then I noticed this was not the case. If the profanity filter is on, you type in a profanity and try to update the leaderboard, the console prints a debug log and pauses the preview mode. I thought it had crashed but it only just paused. Just unpause the preview to continue lol. Profanity filter works perfectly thanks Dan

How do I make it so ascending order goes highest to lowest scor

I have a problem where when I upload a score, it saves as the first one, then on a different computer with a different name, it overwrites the previous one.

Hi, Amazing tool.
I have a question. Let's say a player enters their name and submits a score to the leaderboard.
The next time they reach the end of the level how would I populate the "Enter Name" textbox with the name the used previously?

Thanks

Hi Dan, I would like to know the ranking position of a Username.

I tried the following code, but it doesn't find anything.

Can you help me? Thank you very much.

public void LoadRankingPosition()

{

LeaderboardCreator.GetLeaderboard(_leaderboardPublicKey, LeaderboardSearchQuery.ByUsername(_playerUsernameInput.text), RankingPosition);

}

public void RankingPosition(Entry[] entries)

{

_rankingPosition.text = $"{entries[0].RankSuffix()}";

}

Hi thanks for this cool leaderboard tool, I'm having trouble with duplicate names, when I add then im unity it will not update,but in your itch.io page it does respect duplicate names?

T.I.A

Kind regards Ronald van Erp

Thank you for this tool, it is fantastic. Very much considering the premium version for our project but have a few questions...

- Are there any security measures in place to revent a malicious actor from sending their own data from outside our unity game to the leaderboard (since we only use a public key), could they send a new 'bogus' highscore and get it on the leaderboard? (Or worst case, remove other entries)

- Is it possible for users to 'share' their username across multiple devices (without completely disabling unique usernames)

hey Dan,
this is really cool!
thank you so much >:)

I think I found a bug... When using UploadNewEntry and you upload a duplicate entry while "Unique names" is checked, the entry does not upload. But when you upload the entry with a different name (thats not a duplicate), and then change the name to a duplicate name, the name actually changes...

When I upload to the leaderboard with ascending order checked it only changes my score if I get a higher score(worse in my game) but not if I get a lower score(better in my game)

I Get the error "[LeaderboardCreator] Uploading entry data failed!"
right On the line of uploading new one, not on reset and not on getting the leaderboard, the error is simple on the function UploadNewEntry

When I attempt to add a name that is identical to one that is already on the leaderboard, an error occurs.

Hey Dan, I have a problem. The first time I upload an entry everything works just fine but the second time i can't and get an error saying "Uploading entry data failed!". Everything worked fine 2 days ago and I haven't changed any code. What might be causing this?

public void GetLeaderBoard() {

        LeaderboardCreator.GetLeaderboard(publicLeaderboardKey, ((msg) => {

            int loopLength = (msg.Length < names.Count) ? msg.Length : names.Count;

            for (int i = 0; i < loopLength; i++) {

                names[i].text = msg[i].Username;

                scores[i].text = msg[i].Score.ToString();

            }

        }));

    }

    public void SetLeaderBoardEntry(string username, int score) {

        LeaderboardCreator.UploadNewEntry(publicLeaderboardKey, username, score, ((msg) => {

            GetLeaderBoard();

            LeaderboardCreator.ResetPlayer();

        }));

    } 
Here is the code.

Hi Dan!

Nice work on the tool, it really has helped me a lot, but I'm running into a weird issue.

I'm trying to upload a new high score for an existing player, but I get the error "Uploading entry data failed!".

I'm using "LeaderboardCreator.ResetPlayer();" after uploading every score.

Here's my code

Am I missing something?

Hi, Dan! Very nice work and thanks a lot for sharing and keeping it updated! <3

I'm using the tool in an Android game, but for some reason it is only working in the Engine. I build some APKs to test it but it doesn't retrieve the data from my Leaderboard... I followed the video from SamYam and at least the score from the mobile game was reaching the leaderboard... Don't know if I'm missing something. 

Does anyone had similar issue?

Hey, I'm dealing with a major bug. It wasn't a problem when I first used this tool. Basically whenever I use upload new entry it replaces a previous entry if its score is higher and if its score is lower it only replaces the name of the previous entry. Don't know what could be causing this, I didn't change the script from when it was working.

Hey, where do I get my secret key after purchasing the advanced leaderboard

is there a way to set it up so it gets the name before it starts the game and after when the game gets a winner it auto puts a score onto the username the player put in before

I keep getting an error when I try to upload a new score. "Username already exists" when uploading a second score. 

I have a WebGl game and users are using their crypto wallet addresses as usernames which would be unique. 

Any suggestions how I can resolve this issue would be cool. Tks.

I just downloaded the leaderboard+demo unity package and after importing the unity package I get these errors that you can see in the screenshot. Can you fix them?

I also tried the leaderboard unity package without the demo. It had the same errors.

Hey I purchased the advanced leaderboard, how do I activate it on my leaderboard?

Hey there. Does this tool handle duplicate names or does the Developer need to write a system to prevent that?
