It shouldn't have taken me this long to respond to this thread but i'd like to say Jean has done a fantastic job with this system making it very easy to put into your project and work with.

I would highly recommend to anyone to check it out if you are looking for a very easy to use networking system that works well with unity and playmaker.

Thanks Jean :)

Could you add some little functions to make it more usable please.

Eg:
get class by field name and value.
option to create object with a given unique object id.

Thank you  :) :)

Hi,

Unfortunatly, Parse do not expose any api to get information of existing classes descriptions, so I can't know or query Parse to know what class, fields and types the current account has...

If you know a way, I would be delighted to implement it ( as I can in DataMaker when querying Sqlite with the pragma queries)

can you elaborate on why you would want to give a unique Object ID yourself? I would not recommend this, because I am involved in some IOS native development and the IOS sdk from parse do not like you messing with class objectID, especially when you starting using cache, and offline use.

If you want your own Unique ID for entries, one option would be to simply create a new entry and leave the ObjectID built in field be managed by parse automatically.

bye,

 Jean

Hi,

 Here we go, first release using the official Parse Sdk. I am working on a project where Parse is used, so that was the perfect opportunity to properly start a PlayMaker port for this.

https://hutonggames.fogbugz.com/default.asp?W1003

 The combination of PlayMaker and Parse offer incredible power. And it's really easy to use, thanks to a very well done Parse sdk. It doesn't go without its flaws ( Mobile not very well supported and few issues, like errors not being very informatives...).

 Also, be careful with Parse price, while free for small projects, make sure you plan for monetization if you expect high usage as it's $200 per month. So be very careful not to find yoursefl cornered because of this.

Bye,

 Jean

Not sure what the action does but to upload a picture to parse you need to send the bytes of the texture as a File with a image extension. Not as a string.

Hi,

 Indeed, in this case, I think it should be avoided and instead using the file system from parse directly. I haven't yet implemented that aspect, but it's likely that I will need this too in short while.

I need to leverage the work I did on Easysave tho, cause I can actually do that with easysave and saving an image as a "string". I won't have time this week. Can you bump me next week on this? thanks.


Bye,

 Jean

ps: I also started investigating Facebook login integration with Parse, Parse released a tutorial on this, and it's needed on my project too, so hopefully I'll be able to update this as well.

Hi,

 -- Cloud function: it expects a function that returns a string. so double check that you indeed return a string. I am planning on supported all cases, but that's a lot of work, so it's going to come later.

-- query: yes, of course you have to have parse with data already for the query to have a chance to find anything to begin with.

--  Set Property: yes indeed you need to have first an object id in hand. Typically, create one, save the object Id and then you can later set again properties referencing that object Id.

Bye,

 Jean
