(Unity) How to get players OculusID / Username
I have been trying to retrieve the username but I can't get anything to work. Here's the program below. It retrieves the user's OculusID and sets a variable that is synced on the network. When this is run, it returns as a null reference exception.
Users.GetLoggedInUser().OnComplete((Message<User> uMsg) =>
{
if (uMsg.IsError)
{
Debug.LogError("Platform: GetLoggedInUser() failed. Reason: " + uMsg.GetError().Message);
return; // no need to go any further if local user can't be determined
}
else
{
// success, process user structure we receive in uMsg.Data
newClientClass.nickName = uMsg.Data.OculusID;
}
});
I cannot find any example code or documentation on how to properly implement this.

any update on this? Get it working?
The SharedSpaces Unity sample shows how.
lines 223 to 240
Users.GetLoggedInUser().OnComplete(OnLoggedInUser); }); } private void OnLoggedInUser(Message<Oculus.Platform.Models.User> message) { if (message.IsError) { LogError("Cannot get user info", message.GetError()); return; } // Workaround. // At the moment, Platform.Users.GetLoggedInUser() seems to only be returning the user ID. // Display name is blank. // Platform.Users.Get(ulong userID) returns the display name. Users.Get(message.Data.ID).OnComplete(localPlayerState.Init); }
