IOS GameCenter, don't Post Score... (I think)

BrunoGames

Hi,
I had uploaded my game with (1st try) of Gamecenter on IOS.
I can "view the leaderboard", without any problems, it works.
But the "Post Score" doesn't seems to work.

https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/aka-noid/id655833218?mt=8

I didn't put a "Login" button.
For GameCenter on IOS, it should not be needed the Login.
I say this because i read on the description of the Login behavior:

"This button will prompt the player to log into their Game Center account. Logging into Game Center outright is not required for Game Center Leaderboard functionality, as iOS will prompt the player to log in when other Game Center behaviors are referenced. "

Well another issue to solve
if you have any ideas, will appreciate..

Thanks...

you have to be pro to use gamecenter.

BrunoGames

I am PRO.
Thanks, anyway.

GM_Pandagames

oh. it dosent say when you post.

BrunoGames

Yeah , i'm have to request it to be there the badge. Have done it just now..

Try to put your post score behavior somewhere else. I've always had to play around with where's the best place to put it to trigger it to post. Just play around with it and you will figure it out.

Make sure you post score behavior has the right I'd on it also

BrunoGames

thanks, @mounted88
I will re-re-check ID again.
about, changing the place .. to trigger it to post.. i'm not sure if i understood, what you mean.
But i think it doesn't apply here, since is trigger by clicking on the button "Post Score", and not automatically by a ending level...

mounted88

Oh I'm sorry mis understood, I thought you were having it triggered.

Do you have the post score in a rule that says when touch is pressed, also are you using a game.attribute to link your score to the post score button?

BrunoGames

Just confirmed, LeaderBoard ID is correct.

Yes.
Just like the template on Gamesalad program.
When Touch Release - behavior "Game Center - Post Score"
Fill in the attrib: game.Highscore to my LeaderBoard ID

@brunogames try touch is pressed and add a timer around the post score behavior after 1 sec give that a try if your still having problems

jamie_c

@BrunoGames, I agree with mounted88, try the Timer. I've had to do that in the past so the game waits long enough for the post to take place before moving on to the next action.

I set mine up like this:

when button is clicked
post score
timer - wait 1 second before moving on...

Hooit

I have the same problem. I can show leader board but cannot post score. I tried put timer around the behavior but still having problem.

Any progress with this?

mounted88

@hooit try changing where your putting the post score behavior are you putting it when the scene changes, when your actor dies. Etc etc. switch it around till you find it works. I've done that in the past.

Hooit

@mounted88 I've put it at the game over scene under 'post score' button. call the behavior when the button is released. Let me try switch around. Thanks.

BrunoGames

@mounted88 @jamie_C @Hooit Thanks for your help.
I had been out, due to my daily work, but had upload a new version to Apple just now.

I had changed:
behavior of "Post Score" button, to "when Pressed".
add Timer (After 1 sec) -> around the [ Post Score ] behavior

Now have to wait for apple releasing the app.
I will post the result here.

BrunoGames

@Hooit , did You manage to put it working?

My new version, still don't work

I didn't wanna put the "Login" Button.

But I realized that I didn't put the "Login" Behavior either anywhere.
(Since I assume, that IOS ask for the Login by default, if not Loged)

So, is the only thing that i can try, otherwise, have no clue…

GLGAMES

Erm if i'm not wrong the user have to first login to gamecentre prior to posting the score to leaderboard. I'm not sure the current version automatically logs in the user or there will be a prompt before he starts the game .

BrunoGames

@GLGAMES , Thanks for your help…

..but still don't work…

if anyone had use GameCenter, please give some tip… cause i have no other ideas…

I have a Iphone, for some days to test as Adhoc… (I'm not a iPhone owner, yet)

Last change, was:
I had now a Login Button, and it works, i press it, and it took me to the Login scene of the Apple GameCenter.

The "post Score" Button,
simple doesn't work, and i don't have any type of error, just don't do nothing when I press…
but I know the GS rule is been activated , cause it change the color like i want, when pressed.

Thank you,
Bruno

tahakitan

mine does the same thing. I have other issues right now though so I'm not even touching this now lol.

BrunoGames

@tahakitan, thanks for your time , read below…

, i finally manage it, to be working !! hurray!!!

Well what left after testing all options?
…. delete and redo the behavior rules "by hand" (not Copy&Paste)

It's not the 1st time this happen, a few times some behavior, seams to be perfect after Copy&Paste, but in reality the "IDs references" that we don't see, are somehow wrong, like referencing to the original place from where it was copied… so redo it manually, and the code will work as is supposed to…..

Thanks to all, that took some time and tried to give help...
