this is amazing ! thanks. I hope you could add GeoPoints action. It's one of the main reasons why I'd like to move to Parse

[jeanfabre]

Hi,

 yes, Geopoints will be featured at some point, I did not made it cause it was not required for my needs, but since you are mentionning it, I'll put it up in the priority list for the next parse development session: i have to first complete the query system to allow more complex queries and retrieve lists and all.

bye,

That would be amazing, thank you. And I'm excited by an elaborated query system

Hi Jean:

After Following your explanation.i can totally handle all actions in the sample now.Thank you for that.

Now i would like a make a leader-board with Parse.
How could i request my data ordering by the score i send and take the rank back?

Is it possible to make a sample scene for that?

Thank you

Lin

I'm new to the backend of things but I'm really interested in this. I made a class called "greenarea" and created an object with 2 floats, and managed to get it showing in my Parse Data Browser. How do I retrieve those floats and get them to set the property of another object in Unity? Do I need to query the objects for that?

[jeanfabre]

Hi,

 Typically, yes, you need to get it from the parse server:

several ways:

1: you query for it
2: use "Parse Object Get Async", it expects that you know the class name and the objectId and it will get it for you.
3: if you have a case where the object was changed from another place, use ParseFetchAsynch to referesh it's data to amek sure it's the latest from the parse server.

Does that help?

Please vote for this so that it gets done quicker

hmm I think I'm almost there. I used Parse Object Get Async and it was successful. But How would I retrieve the float? Parse Object Get Property? I did try that with the Property Key holding the float. But I think it wants an object or something that isn't a float.

thanks for your help Jean.

Hi,

 if you look at the "current user" gameojevt fsm, you'll see I use "Parse get Object property" and Specified the type I expect, in that case "string", so for you, you need to select "float" for the type.

Yes?

I think the problem seems to be specific to using a float. the object creates as a float. But when I try to get the Property it says something about it being a double rather than a single. I think it's looking for a float and getting a double. the property key does say "number" instead of float, so whatever property its passing back is not quite the same type. I've already managed to receive properties from string property keys.

The fsmVar value <System.Single> doesn't match the value <System.Double>

Hi,

 Good catch!

Redownload from the wiki and it will work now.

Bye,

works now! This is such an amazing tool. Thanks Jean.

I'm actually having a problem setting the float as well. Is it perhaps doing the same thing on Parse Object Set Property?
