Using Google Drive api (or similar) with Web Player?

Questions & Answers
1

Hello all!

I’m a total noob when it comes to anything related to networking and the like… but maybe someone can point me in the right direction here…

I need to be able to create a text file at runtime and upload it either to a google drive folder, or a folder on a server. I need to be able to do this in a Web Player game
I literally have no idea where to begin with this but here is what (I THINK I’VE) learned via googling:

  • Can’t use any .NET in the Unity web player
  • Webplayer makes doing stuff like this very difficult to accomplish
  • Will probably need to use WWW class unity side and a php script server side to pull this off

I have no idea where to begin with that last bullet, even if I am on track with that.
Any suggestions, code snippets, articles that can help me out would me much appreciated. Thanks!

TLDR: Need to upload text files from within WEB PLAYER to Google Drive or server. No Idea where to begin.

Yes, use your third bullet point. The WWW class is documented with an example close to what you want here:

There is an example that writes high scores and a perl script that runs on the server. If you want PHP, then google “how to learn php” and you’ll get 572 million hits.
