Hmm, not really...

You can get the number of sessions created in an hour with this call: https://getbraincloud.com/apidocs/apiref/#capi-globalapp-sysgetdailycounts

But brainCloud doesn't otherwise track a concurrent session count per app.

There are certainly 3rd party analytics packages that you could link into your client that would give you that sort of information though.

Looking a little more deeply; trying to use Brain Cloud with the Lyra example code

https://github.com/getbraincloud/braincloud-unreal-plugin-src/blob/335e9c6fe0deb6674254b30ba5edb24f9a35817c/Source/OnlineSubsystemBrainCloud/Private/OnlineSubsystemBrainCloud.cpp#L28

The session interface isn't written (nullptr) is returned. Can I presume from this that the OnlineSubsystem is in a pretty "early access" form?

Hi Kirlos, as you can see from the response's message field, there are two elements (id and name) underneath, you need to append .id to specify the first search field for id, so change the "message.from" to "messsge.from.id" should solve this problem.

Hi,

Here are the steps to setting up a webhook to call a custom cloud code script in brainCloud:

Step 1 - Write your script

Go to Design | Cloud Code | Scripts and create your script You might want to just start with a simple script that logs the incoming parameters (see sample below) Be sure to enable the S2S callable field on the Details page.

Step 2 - Declare the webhook and link it to your script

Go to Design | Cloud Code | WebHooks and create your webhook Link it to the script that you just wrote. If you don't see your script in the list, double-check the state of the S2S callable field You can optionally restrict the webhook to be callable via a range of ip ranges (good for additional security) Click [Save] and copy the webhook URL that gets generated

Step 3 - Go to the external service, and give it your webhook URL

This step varies by service of course.

Step 4 - Trigger the webhook to test

This also varies by service. You could use Postman to do it as well.

Step 5 - Confirm the structure of the incoming parameters

It is a bit difficult to figure out what a webhook will send you ahead-of-time The simplest is to invoke the hook, and then examine the results See the sample logging script below for an example Then view the logged input data via Monitoring | Global Monitoring | Recent Errors. Be sure to enable Info -level messages, and click [Refresh]

Step 6 - Complete the writing of your script

Now that you know how the parameters are being sent, you should be good to complete your script. More info on webhook development here - https://getbraincloud.com/apidocs/apiref/?cloudcode#cc-ccscripts-webhooks Good luck!

Sample script - just dumps parameters:

var response = {}; bridge.logInfoJson("Script invoked from webhook. Contents of data...", data); // Return the webhook response response.statusOverride = 200; response.jsonResponse = {}; response;

Note - you can also view the request sent and response received from your webhook via the Server Logs. For more information on brainCloud logs - see this knowledge base article.

Hope that helps!

Call AttachUniversalIdentity() method from client lib, the username is uniqueness enforced.

brainCloud's Cloud Code is based on Apache Rhino, which is an open-source implementation of JavaScript. This engine is highly sandboxed within the brainCloud API servers for security purposes.

brainCloud currently ships with Apache Rhino version 1.7.7.1.

Rhino implements JavaScript 1.7, and is basically ES4 with partial ES5 and ES6 support.

Hey, there must be some syntax error in your script, would you be able to provide your script code here?

Hi Dylan, actually, the argument purchaseData for StartPurchase() method takes the Steam Item ID (from Edit Price Entry pop-up) as the input field (not the Item ID from the product list)

I posted this almost 13 days ago with zero answers, so I took some time to look through a bunch of documentation and did a ton of trial and error. Please Braincloud for the love of god add this to your API.

Rhino does not handle Arrays the way that other coding languages do.

I figured it out, unlike most arrays that return an array after you call push- Rhino returns the new length. So if you call push, don't set it's value.

var copyArray = []; //I assume this line tells it to be an array for (var i = 0; i < postResult.data..length; i++) { copyArray[i] = postResult.data[i]; //arrays do not behave like .Net arrays, you can change length without initializing, so you just set each index to the index of the array you're copying } copyArray.push(variableToAdd); //Do NOT set this as the value of your array, the push method returns an int (length of array) NOT an array! //you probably dont need to call push at all to add to the array as shown in the for loop above if you already know your length or want a specific length

Then just set your value to the variable, like this

var entityData = { "variableName": copyArray }; //No need to call Array(copyArray) or any of the prototype. slice stuff. If you call Array() you'll just nest the array a second time.

Use this page for further info on functions you can do with arrays.

This seems to be working now, the error is a wee misleading. The code was correct. The URL was incorrect and was changed to (or leave blank):

const url = "sharedprod.braincloudservers.com"; ... brainclouds2s.request(global.s2sContext, { service: "group", operation: "SYS_CREATE_GROUP", data: groupData, }); })

You can bypass the peer dependencies by adding --legacy-peer-deps flag to your npm install. After modifying package.json, then use npm-install-peers to install the rest of peer dependencies.

And brainCloud 4.9 is live!

Let us know if you have questions or issues!

Hi Jose,

Sounds like you want to look into our Presence feature.

Presence is designed to let users know when their friends are online. You can think of it like the old Xbox Live friends feature - where you can see which of your friends are online - and optionally what they are doing.

And Presence uses RTT - so users will be notified in realtime when the presence information of a followed user changes.

Presence works with Friends, Groups, and arbitrary lists of users.

More details here - http://getbraincloud.com/apidocs/apiref/#capi-presence

Hope that helps!

Hi,

brainCloud offers a number of APIs for looking up other players. You'll find them all in the Friend service.

As far as looking up players by name, it isn't highly recommended - since names in brainCloud are not guaranteed to be unique (and thus lookups are less deterministic and slower).

It's generally more useful to look up other players by UniversalId - which are guaranteed to be unique.

Now - maybe your app isn't using Universal Identities - so it seems odd to lookup by the UniversalId. Luckily, brainCloud supports a non-login version of a UniversalId - so you can have the user pick a Display Name which will be associated with their account, but they don't actually log in via it (and there's no password for it stored).

To use non-login UniversalIds...

Attach the non-login identity via AttachNonLoginUniversalId() Later on, to update the id, use UpdateUniversalIdLogin() <-- disregard the misleading name - it works for both login and non-login versions of UniversalId Set the player's name to match the universalId (useful for leaderboards) via UpdateUserName() Finally, to look-up a player, use FindUserByExactUniversalId() or FindUserByUniversalIdStartingWith()

Hope that helps!

Paul.

I figured it out. Segment has a Legacy - Project source type, using that worked.

Solved:

IDK if this is the right approach but I am using brainCloud's LitJson and JSONMapper. I will map out the things I need and put it into an object of variables I chose to parse out.

(Post the answer from brainCloud chat channel)

Actually, there is a workaround that you can perform the tournament rewards adjustments,

Turn off the auto claim Add a post-hook to Authenticate instead <- where auto-claim would normally run And in the post-hook look to see if they have tournament rewards, and if they do, claim them there - performing any award adjustments that need to be made.

(Note: this issue has been solved through our online chat support.)

As a further heads up folks - it is looking like the 4.5.6 server release may get delayed until early next week. This is to allow us to create a proper mechanism for controlling with specific versions of Lobby Services are active at a time... (right now, it is possible for both old and new lobby services to be active during an upgrade transition - and given how much lobby processing has changed in this release - that wouldn't be good).

That said - the rest of 4.5.6 is ready - so we are going to be doing a bit of an incremental roll-out...

We are starting to release the 4.5.6 Client Libraries today We are also making the 4.5.6 Relay Servers available (on our existing 4.5.5 servers) <- this is a simple feature gate for us to enable.

Then, once the 4.5.6 servers (with the new Lobby Servers and a few other fixes) are available, we will release them... that should be either late this week, or more likely early next week).

Anyway, just FYI...

Paul.

To limit operations like IncrementExperiencePoints() to cloud code only. This will essentially take away the ability to make these calls from the bare client API. You can see a script that enforces these restrictions here - https://getbraincloud.com/apidocs/cloud-code-central/handy-cloud-code-scripts/restrictclientcalls-script/
