Leaderboard service unique usernames with facebook

Question

Hi,

I have already integrated facebook unity sdk with my game being developed on Unity game engine. I am trying to integrate app42 leaderboard service, but adding scores by a user takes only username into account. In this case, if  two facebook users with same usernames save scores. The table with have entries with same username.

How to determine the user when retrieving the scores back?

 

Thanks in advance! :)

Hello,

 

You can easily solve this by using Facebook id of user to save the scores of user because FB id is always unique for your app. And save the user information(like Fb Name, profile picture etc) in storage service to fetch it back into the app for displaying the Leader-board.
