OpenFeint get rank

[Rudy]

I'm working on integrating OF in a game and I want to get the rank of the score I just submitted (using [OFHighscoreService submitScore]). I don't want the best rank the user has. (the leaderboard allows multiple entries)

How would I get that information?

[Rudy]

Well I just figured that if you check "allow worse score" it actually REMOVES the highest score and add the new lower score Not what I wanted lol

I think [OFHighScoreService getHighScoreForUser... will get the best score so probably not what you're after.

The only way I know would be to use [OFHighScoreService getPage:... and then in the callback find the submitted score and get the rank from that.

Yea I figured there's no way to have more than one score so what I wanted to do won't work.... pretty lame

I believe OF stores scores locally too so they can queued for submission later or when the user is not online. I used this to submit awards because otherwise it would cause a stutter in the game doing it in realtime.

Maybe you could access the locally stored scores or perhaps store them yourself in NSUserDefaults?

If you have any success please let us know.

Not quite what I wanted, I wanted to store all the submitted scores and give the user his rank (for the game he just played) at the end of each game

Why can't you use [OFHighScoreService getPage: then? It will give you a list of scores in the callback which you can check against the username and tell what rank they're at.

The problem I'm having is that OpenFeint doesn't allow you to have more than one score per user in the leaderboard (it replaces the other score when you submit a new one). That right there makes what I wanted to do impossible

Of course you're right it only actually stores your highest score but if you get the leaderboard you could calculate what it's rank would be based on the other scores.

I guess that's a solution.... I'll look into it
