I need help in getting the player nickname of the players in the leaderboards. When I use loadScores, I only get the playerID (which is a string numbers), with this code:

      PlayGamesPlatform.Instance.LoadScores (
                 <your_leaderboard_ID_here>,
                 LeaderboardStart.PlayerCentered,
                 1,
                 LeaderboardCollection.Public,
                 LeaderboardTimeSpan.AllTime,
             (LeaderboardScoreData data) => {
                 Debug.Log (data.Valid);
                 Debug.Log (data.Id);
                 Debug.Log (data.PlayerScore);
                 Debug.Log (data.PlayerScore.userID);
                 Debug.Log (data.PlayerScore.formattedValue);

  //1°
  FirstNickName.text = data.Scores[0].userID;
  //2°
  SecondNickName.text = data.Scores[1].userID;
  //3°
  ThirdNickName.text = data.Scores[2].userID;

             });
         }

Work fine for all the player id’s, all ranks and scores… and for the logged user name, but not for all player names in the leaderboard.
I tried to use loadPlayers and use alias, it doesn’t give me anything. I can successfully logged in in google play game services.

I need this like:

 //1
 FirstNickName.text = data.Scores[0].userName;
 //2
 SecondNickName.text = data.Scores[1].userName;
 //3
 ThirdNickName.text = data.Scores[2].userName;

etc…

In case anyone is looking for this: it seems you’ll need to do this in a separate step.
Loadscores gives you a list of userID’s, which you cast into "string userIDs " for example. Then use Social.LoadUsers(userIDS, =>…) to have something done with this info.

I’ve used this as follows (more or less:

// get scores
IScore[] scores = data.Scores;
// get user ids
string[] userIds = new string[scores.Length];
		for (int i = 0; i < scores.Length; i++)
		{
			userIds _= scores*.userID;*_

* }*
// forward scores with loaded profiles
Social.LoadUsers(userIds, profiles => DisplayLeaderboardEntries(scores, profiles));
The “DisplayLeaderboardEntries” will be called after users have been loaded, so you will have both scores(and ranks) and profile info (name, icon) available to display in whatever way you like.

It has been done. But many years have passed by now and I don’t remember how I did it.
No answer had here :frowning:

For anyone wondering how to get user data from leaderboard. First authenticate the player and then load scores. Use

    var lb = PlayGamesPlatform.Instance.CreateLeaderboard(); // Create leaderboard
    lb.id = Leaderboards.PerfectLevels.ID; // assign ID to it

    PlayGamesPlatform.Instance.LoadScores(
        lb.id, // Leaderboard ID
        LeaderboardStart.PlayerCentered, // Get from top scores or player centered
        5, // number of rows of scores you want
        LeaderboardCollection.Public, // public scores or social
        LeaderboardTimeSpan.AllTime, // Time span
        (LeaderboardScoreData data) => // callback with scores
        {                
            for(int i = 0; i < data.Scores.Length; i++)
            {
                Debug.Log("Player User name : " + data.Scores*.userID);*

Debug.Log("Player score : " + data.Scores*.formattedValue);*
Debug.Log("Player Rank : " + data.Scores*.rank.ToString());*
}
}
);
@WILEz1975 did a mistake, in number of rows to return, he had passed 1 → only player score was returning.
Also if you specifically need Player data, just use “data.PlayerScore” instead of a for loop and “data.Scores”
Hope this helps :slight_smile:
