Building the Menus for the Player Account Cloud Gem

To build the menus, use the code for CloudGemPlayerAccountRequestBus and CloudGemPlayerAccountNotificationBusHandler in the dev\Gems\CloudGemPlayerAccount\Code\Include\CloudGemPlayerAccount\CloudGemPlayerAccountBus.h file. Keep in mind the following points:

  • Most of the EBus events are wrappers for Amazon Cognito user pool API operations. For the Amazon Cognito API reference, see Amazon Cognito Identity Provider .

     

  • To return the user name for the currently logged-in player, call the GetCurrentUser function, which has a corresponding OnGetCurrentUserComplete event. This function and EBus event are not part of the Amazon Cognito user pool API but are needed for most calls to the API.

     

  • The GetCurrentUser function also loads the credentials that were returned and caches them inside the gem’s system component. As a result, subsequent calls to GetCurrentUser are faster.

     

  • The act of signing in also caches the player’s credentials inside the gem’s system component.
