[Solved] How to read a Document in FireBase

[Lenny230809]

Hi i am trying to check if the version the game is you download is the most recent version by searching for the document on firebase and read if the version in there matches up with the ingame version but i cant get it to work pls help

Can you show what you have already? Then perhaps we can see what the problem is or where you need to add something…

[Lenny230809]

OK here is what i have already

I’m not familiar with Firebase, but it looks like in the ‘Beginning of scene’ event you’re reading the document into the ‘VersionGet’ variable. However you’re then trying to set the text to the value of the ‘VersionGot’ variable… Is that a typo?

[Lenny230809]

Yeah was a typo have fixed it but it still dosn’t work

Have you run the game in debug mode and checked the value of VersionGot (or VersionGet, whichever you’ve decided to name your variable), to see what value is being put into it?

You are loading the whole document, the whole right tab on the Firebase console. As you can see, it’s a structure containing for the key Version and as a value the version number. Either use the action “get a field” to get the Version field of that document, or get the result by reading VersionGet.Version instead.

So i tried the action “load a field” and it still dosn’t work but now i tried it with “check for existance of a field” and there is an error coming out “Missing or insufficient Permissions” i dont know what that means

[arthuro555]

That means your firebase security rules are forbidding access to that document

and how do i change that?
