How to get user names in google play game services leaderboard

Question

I need help in getting the player nickname of the players in the leaderboards. When I use loadScores, I only get the playerID (w$$anonymous$$ch is a string numbers), with t$$anonymous$$s 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°
   T$$anonymous$$rdNickName.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 anyt$$anonymous$$ng. I can successfully logged in in google play game services.

I need t$$anonymous$$s like:

  //1
  FirstNickName.text = data.Scores[0].userName;
  //2
  SecondNickName.text = data.Scores[1].userName;
  //3
  T$$anonymous$$rdNickName.text = data.Scores[2].userName;

etc...

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

In case anyone is looking for t$$anonymous$$s: it seems you'll need to do t$$anonymous$$s in a separate step. Loadscores gives you a list of userID's, w$$anonymous$$ch you cast into "string[] userIDs " for example. Then use Social.LoadUsers(userIDS, =>...) to have somet$$anonymous$$ng done with t$$anonymous$$s info.

I've used t$$anonymous$$s 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[i] = scores[i].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.

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[i].userID);
                 Debug.Log("Player score : " + data.Scores[i].formattedValue);
                 Debug.Log("Player Rank : " + data.Scores[i].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 t$$anonymous$$s helps :)
