You forgot to mention how to actually connect your Firebase project to your GameMaker project. Aka, inputting the project ID into the Firebase extension.

[@quentinvandeutekom1790]

Pretty cool to see official video tutorials. I remember the online leaderboards being added in a game jam.

[@NoLootStudios]

As I am working on a "highscore game" this could not have been timed better haha. Thanks!

[@Itssmial_Ova]

YES! This is the tutorial I've been waiting for! Thank you so much!

[@Yaso_Nex]

what about steam's leaderboard!

[@scotthuffman3462]

Any updates on the rollback multiplayer system y'all were teasing?

[@godonholiday]

This really is great, thank you. It would be great if you could follow up with how to lockdown your scoreboard to only allow the right players to delete data.. it is implied in this tutorial.. but the tutorial leaves new developers open to attack if they publish their games to the Opera game space.

[@hristoborisov3713]

hi! how would you make it so that the score someone sumbits is overwritten instead of added to the leaderboard? or also deleting the old score and uploading a new one? sorry if that functuonality is already there and i missed it :/

[@theaveragegoob]

This got released the same day I integrated LootLocker leaderboards into my game...lol. Time to learn this way!

[@jacklennon1]

Why? This way is better? if it is, Why?

[@Coz3erz]

​@@jacklennon1it's probably more efficient than the method op came up with. I can relate. I wrote 100s of lines of code for a function when it could be done in 1.

[@jakehopper5204]

Awesome, hoping for maybe a rhythm game setup next

[@okashusmani6773]

It's a very nice tutorial. Can you make more tutorial on how to update the scores in database for a particular user without deleting and recreating?

[@yuolden]

Do I need to erase the data and create a new one to record a score that is higher than the recorded score? How do I get a "document id" to erase that data? In asynchronous, the id part of doc.id = _names[i]; keeps causing errors. Is this the value of the document ID?

[@boks02_]

when I boot up the game, windows gives an error that says "FirebaseFirestore.ext is either not designed to ron on Windows or it contains an error." etc. error status 0xc0000020

[@yuolden]

It was reported in a specific IDE version (23.6?) and if the FirebaseFirestore.ext capacity included in the build file is 0kb, it can be a solution by erasing the file

Marketplace is dead, how to do this without it?

[@miroslavnemec8131]

What to do with incorrect type like this: ERROR!!! :: ############################################################################################ ERROR in action number 1 of Async Event: HTTP for object Obj_FirebaseREST_Listener_On_firestore_collection: ds_exists argument 1 incorrect type (string) expecting a Number (YYGI32) at gml_Script_FirebaseREST_HTTP_Failed_Firestore (line 14) - if(ds_exists(list,ds_type_list)) gml_Script_FirebaseREST_HTTP_Failed_Firestore (line 14) gml_Object_Obj_FirebaseREST_Listener_On_firestore_collection_Other_62 (line 20) - FirebaseREST_HTTP_Failed_Firestore();

i just keep geting ...Script: FirebaseFirestoreMainFunctions at line 76 : Cannot set a constant ("start") to a value... when trying to run game

[@felixtremblay1390]

On what platforms are you trying to run this and did you link your project to firebase firestore which was not shown in the video

[@EXDEX]

How to make this with the steam extension

[@1gammis]

Hi, thank you for this tutorial! I'm stuck with a infinite loading screen after adding the project ID in the firebase extension as suggested below. Before this I got the same error as a few other, namely : ds_exists argument 1 incorrect type (string) expecting a Number (YYGI32). anyone know what's wrong now? :)

[@Madworld130]

Just to make sure where you got the project ID--the one I used is under project settings where it lists the project name, ID, and number. If you've put that ID in correctly, then I've no idea!

[@1gammis]

@@Madworld130 Yes, well, I changed permissions in the midst of all confusion so that's why there was loading infinite :) thanks though!

[@andrea.guillou]

Very helpful 👍

[@evanwinegardner4103]

didnt work, i dont see how GMS knows to target my firebase folder, i tired follow you and also tried the included file, no luck :( D:\GameMaker-Firestore-Tutorial\extensions\FirebaseSetup\pre_build_step.bat exited with non-zero status (1)

[@davanje]

check 02:26. maybe you touched 'FirebaseSetup' , not YYFirebaseFirestore. uncheck windows at 'FirebaseSetup'

[@CoffehBuzz]

I had the same issue. So what they fail to mention in the tutorial is that you have to type in the Project-ID found under project settings in firebase. Copy that and paste in the YYFirebaseFirestore extension in your project under "project-id". Hope it helped!
