Unity & Playfab Sending friend requests to offline players

Question

public void SaveFriendRequest(string targetPlayerId, string senderDisplayName)
{
    var data = new Dictionary<string, string>
    {
        { senderDisplayName, "pending" } // "pending" indicates that the request is pending
    };

    var request = new UpdateUserDataRequest
    {
        PlayFabId = targetPlayerId, // Use the recipient's PlayFab ID here
        Data = data,
        Permission = UserDataPermission.Public // or Private, depending on your needs
    };

    PlayFabClientAPI.UpdateUserData(request, OnDataUpdateSuccess, OnDataUpdateFailure);
}

Hey guys! I am dealing with sending membership requests in my game and I am having a problem with the function that is supposed to save the membership request sent to the player. It is not working now and there is even an ERROR: 'UpdateUserDataRequest' does not contain a definition for 'PlayFabId' Maybe the function should be written differently?

Could someone please guide me how exactly do I change something for a player who is not me? Like saving the friend request I sent him while he was not connected to the game.

Answer 1

public void SaveFriendRequest(string targetPlayerId)
{
    var request = new ExecuteCloudScriptRequest
    {
        FunctionName = "SaveFriendRequest",
        FunctionParameter = new Dictionary<string, object>
        {
            { "targetPlayerId", targetPlayerId }
        },
        GeneratePlayStreamEvent = true
    };

    PlayFabClientAPI.ExecuteCloudScript(request, OnCloudScriptSuccess, OnCloudScriptFailure);
}

Well, then I solved the problem by adding the SaveFriendRequest function in Cloud Script in Playfab:

handlers.SaveFriendRequest = function (args, context) {
    var targetPlayerId = args.targetPlayerId;
    var senderPlayerId = currentPlayerId; 

    var playerData = server.GetUserData({
        PlayFabId: targetPlayerId,
        Keys: ["FriendRequests"] 
    });

    var friendRequests = [];
    if (playerData.Data && playerData.Data.FriendRequests) {
        friendRequests = JSON.parse(playerData.Data.FriendRequests.Value);
    }

    friendRequests.push(senderPlayerId);

    server.UpdateUserData({
        PlayFabId: targetPlayerId,
        Data: {
            "FriendRequests": JSON.stringify(friendRequests)
        }
    });

    return { message: "Friend request saved successfully!" };
};
