Okay, so I'm blind. playerObject is a local variable defined in the example ¬¬

Anyway, now I'm having a little bit of trouble assigning data to a Player Object. My code is:

Code: Select all

PlayerIO.quickConnect.simpleConnect(
            stage,
            "nova-finum-z7twjhqj0itgkgbvbf7ig",   
            username,
            password,
            function(client:Client):void{
               client.bigDB.loadMyPlayerObject(function(obj:DatabaseObject):void{
                  obj.name = "jack";
                  obj.save();
            })
            }, function(e:PlayerIOError):void{
               trace("Error: ", e)
            }
         );

The user is already created, but the player object for him doesn't exist. How do I create one and assign to it?

I think loadPlayerObject returns an empty object if the object wasn't created before. so you can assign values to the empty object and save it.

Okay so now in my development server I got it to assign values to the player object. The development server window says that the SimpleUser's PlayerObject has variables with values assigned to them. However, on the admin panel it still shows my database as empty. How do I get these variables to persist between games?

Did you call the save() method on the playerObject?
