Unwrap the Subsystem​

This tutorial will show you how to upgrade a headless account to a full AccelByte Gaming Services (AGS) account using the AGS Game SDK Online Subsystem (OSS). In the Byte Wars project, there is already a game instance subsystem created named RegisterUserInGameSubsystem. This subsystem contains the completed implementation to upgrade an account. However, in this tutorial, you will use a starter version of that subsystem so you can implement the functions from scratch.

What's in the Starter Pack​

To follow this tutorial, a starter subsystem class named RegisterUserInGameSubsystem_Starter has been prepared for you. This class is available in the Resources section and consists of the following files:

  • Header file: /Source/AccelByteWars/TutorialModules/Access/RegisterUserInGame/RegisterUserInGameSubsystem_Starter.h
  • CPP file: /Source/AccelByteWars/TutorialModules/Access/RegisterUserInGame/RegisterUserInGameSubsystem_Starter.cpp

The RegisterUserInGameSubsystem_Starter class also has several helpers:

  • AGS OSS UserInterface interface declaration. You will use this interface to query the new full account information.

    protected:
    // ...
        FOnlineUserAccelBytePtr GetUserInterface() const;

There is also a model file in the /Source/AccelByteWars/TutorialModules/Access/RegisterUserInGame/RegisterUserInGameModels.h file. This file contains the following helpers:

  • A delegate declaration to handle the response from the backend.

    DECLARE_DELEGATE_ThreeParams(FOnUpgradeAndVerifyAccountComplete, bool bWasSuccessful, const FString& ErrorMessage, const FAccountUserData& NewFullAccount);
    DECLARE_DELEGATE_TwoParams(FOnSendUpgradeAccountVerificationCodeComplete, bool bWasSuccesful, const FString& ErrorMessage);

  • A string constant to print logs and messages.

    #define RESEND_VERIFICATION_CODE_MESSAGE NSLOCTEXT(ACCELBYTEWARS_LOCTEXT_NAMESPACE, "Upgrade Account Send Verification Code Message", "Re-send Verification Code")

    inline const FText GetUpgradeAccountErrorMessage(const EUpgradeAccountErrorTypes ErrorCode)
    {
        switch ((EUpgradeAccountErrorTypes)ErrorCode)
        {
        case EUpgradeAccountErrorTypes::EmailAlreadyUsed:
            return EMAIL_ALREADY_USED_ERROR;
            break;
        case EUpgradeAccountErrorTypes::UsernameAlreadyUsed:
        case EUpgradeAccountErrorTypes::UniqueDisplayNameAlreadyUsed:
            return USERNAME_ALREADY_USED_ERROR;
            break;
        case EUpgradeAccountErrorTypes::UsernameInputViolation:
            return FText::Format(USERNAME_INPUT_VIOLATION_ERROR, MIN_USERNAME_LEN, MAX_USERNAME_LEN);
            break;
        case EUpgradeAccountErrorTypes::PasswordInputViolation:
            return FText::Format(PASSWORD_INPUT_VIOLATION_ERROR, MIN_PASSWORD_LEN, MAX_PASSWORD_LEN);
            break;
        default:
            return UPGRADE_ACCOUNT_UNKNOWN_ERROR;
            break;
        }
    }

Implement requesting verification codes​

In this section, you will implement functions to send an email verification code request.

  1. Open the RegisterUserInGameSubsystem_Starter class Header file and declare the helper variable below. This variable will be used to store the email address, preventing multiple verification code requests to the same email.

    private:
    // ...
        TSet<FString> LastVerificationCodeTargetEmails;

  2. Next, declare the following function to send an email verification code request.

    public:
    // ...
        void SendUpgradeAccountVerificationCode(
            const FString& EmailAddress,
            const bool bForceResend = false,
            const FOnSendUpgradeAccountVerificationCodeComplete& OnComplete = FOnSendUpgradeAccountVerificationCodeComplete());

  3. Now, open the RegisterUserInGameSubsystem_Starter class CPP file and define the function above. This function sends a request to the backend to send a verification code to the target email. If the bForceResend is disabled, then it won't send a new request to the same email address.

    void URegisterUserInGameSubsystem_Starter::SendUpgradeAccountVerificationCode(
        const FString& EmailAddress, 
        const bool bForceResend, 
        const FOnSendUpgradeAccountVerificationCodeComplete& OnComplete)
    {
        if (!bForceResend && LastVerificationCodeTargetEmails.Contains(EmailAddress))
        {
            UE_LOG_REGISTERUSERINGAME(Log, TEXT("Verification code already sent to the same e-mail."));
            OnComplete.ExecuteIfBound(true, TEXT(""));
            return;
        }

        AccelByte::FRegistry::User.SendUpgradeVerificationCode(
            EmailAddress,
            AccelByte::FVoidHandler::CreateWeakLambda(this, [this, EmailAddress, OnComplete]()
            {
                UE_LOG_REGISTERUSERINGAME(Log, TEXT("Success to send upgrade to full account verification code to the registered e-mail."));
                LastVerificationCodeTargetEmails.Add(EmailAddress);
                OnComplete.ExecuteIfBound(true, TEXT(""));
            }),
            FErrorHandler::CreateWeakLambda(this, [this, OnComplete](int32 ErrorCode, const FString& ErrorMessage)
            {
                UE_LOG_REGISTERUSERINGAME(Warning, TEXT("Failed to send upgrade to full account verification code to the registered e-mail. Error %d: %s"), ErrorCode, *ErrorMessage);
                OnComplete.ExecuteIfBound(false, GetUpgradeAccountErrorMessage((EUpgradeAccountErrorTypes)ErrorCode).ToString());
            })
        );
    }

  4. Next, find the predefined Deinitialize() function, which is called when the subsystem is deinitialized. In this function, add the code below to clear the value of the helper variable.

    void URegisterUserInGameSubsystem_Starter::Deinitialize()
    {
        Super::Deinitialize();
        LastVerificationCodeTargetEmails.Empty();
    }

Implement upgrade and verify account​

In this section, you will implement functions to upgrade and verify the account using the verification code.

  1. First, create a helper function to check whether the account is already a full account or not. Open the RegisterUserInGameSubsystem_Starter class Header file and declare the following function:

    public:
    // ...
        bool IsCurrentUserIsFullAccount();

  2. Next, open the CPP file for the RegisterUserInGameSubsystem_Starter class and implement the function described above. This function checks whether the currently logged-in account is a full account by verifying if an email address is registered and verified.

    bool URegisterUserInGameSubsystem_Starter::IsCurrentUserIsFullAccount()
    {
        const bool bHasLinkedEmail = !AccelByte::FRegistry::CredentialsRef->GetUserEmailAddress().IsEmpty();
        const bool bIsEmailVerified = AccelByte::FRegistry::CredentialsRef->GetAccountUserData().EmailVerified;
        return bHasLinkedEmail && bIsEmailVerified;
    }

  3. Now, open the RegisterUserInGameSubsystem_Starter class Header file again and declare the following functions:

    public:
    // ...
        void UpgradeAndVerifyAccount(
            const int32 LocalUserNum,
            const FUniqueNetIdPtr UserId,
            const FString& Username,
            const FString& EmailAddress,
            const FString& Password,
            const FString& VerificationCode,
            const FOnUpgradeAndVerifyAccountComplete& OnComplete = FOnUpgradeAndVerifyAccountComplete());
    protected:
        void OnUpgradeAndVerifyAccountSuccess(
            const FAccountUserData& NewFullAccount,
            const int32 LocalUserNum,
            const FUniqueNetIdRef UserId,
            const FOnUpgradeAndVerifyAccountComplete OnComplete);

  4. Next, open the RegisterUserInGameSubsystem_Starter class CPP file and define the UpgradeAndVerifyAccount() function. This function sends a request to upgrade the account by using the verification code received via email. Once the request completes, the callback will be handled by the OnUpgradeAndVerifyAccountSuccess() function.

    void URegisterUserInGameSubsystem_Starter::UpgradeAndVerifyAccount(
        const int32 LocalUserNum,
        const FUniqueNetIdPtr UserId,
        const FString& Username,
        const FString& EmailAddress,
        const FString& Password,
        const FString& VerificationCode,
        const FOnUpgradeAndVerifyAccountComplete& OnComplete)
    {
        if (!UserId.IsValid()) 
        {
            UE_LOG_REGISTERUSERINGAME(Warning, TEXT("Failed to upgrade headless account to full account. User id is null."));
            OnComplete.ExecuteIfBound(false, UPGRADE_ACCOUNT_UNKNOWN_ERROR.ToString(), FAccountUserData());
            return;
        }

        FUpgradeAndVerifyRequest Request;
        Request.Username = Username;
        Request.DisplayName = Username;
        Request.UniqueDisplayName = Username;
        Request.EmailAddress = EmailAddress;
        Request.Password = Password;
        Request.Code = VerificationCode;

        AccelByte::FRegistry::User.UpgradeAndVerify2(
            Request,
            THandler<FAccountUserData>::CreateUObject(this, &ThisClass::OnUpgradeAndVerifyAccountSuccess, LocalUserNum, UserId.ToSharedRef(), OnComplete),
            FErrorHandler::CreateWeakLambda(this, [this, OnComplete](int32 ErrorCode, const FString& ErrorMessage)
            {
                UE_LOG_REGISTERUSERINGAME(Warning, TEXT("Failed to upgrade headless account to full account. Error %d: %s"), ErrorCode, *ErrorMessage);
                OnComplete.ExecuteIfBound(false, GetUpgradeAccountErrorMessage((EUpgradeAccountErrorTypes)ErrorCode).ToString(), FAccountUserData());
            })
        );
    }

  5. Now, define the OnUpgradeAndVerifyAccountSuccess() by adding the code below. This code re-queries the user account info to update the user account cache in the AGS OSS.

    void URegisterUserInGameSubsystem_Starter::OnUpgradeAndVerifyAccountSuccess(
        const FAccountUserData& NewFullAccount, 
        const int32 LocalUserNum,
        const FUniqueNetIdRef UserId, 
        const FOnUpgradeAndVerifyAccountComplete OnComplete)
    {
        UStartupSubsystem* StartupSubsystem = GetWorld()->GetGameInstance()->GetSubsystem<UStartupSubsystem>();
        if (!StartupSubsystem) 
        {
            UE_LOG_REGISTERUSERINGAME(Warning, TEXT("Failed to handle on upgrade headless account success. Startup subsystem is null."));
            return;
        }

        // Query new user info to update account user cache on OSS.
        StartupSubsystem->QueryUserInfo(
            LocalUserNum,
            TPartyMemberArray{ UserId },
            FOnQueryUsersInfoCompleteDelegate::CreateWeakLambda(this, [this, LocalUserNum, UserId, NewFullAccount, OnComplete](
                const FOnlineError& Error,
                const TArray<TSharedPtr<FUserOnlineAccountAccelByte>>& UsersInfo)
                {
                    if (!Error.bSucceeded || UsersInfo.IsEmpty())
                    {
                        UE_LOG_REGISTERUSERINGAME(
                            Warning, 
                            TEXT("Failed to upgrade headless account to full account. Error %s: %s"), 
                            *Error.ErrorCode, 
                            *Error.ErrorMessage.ToString());
                        OnComplete.ExecuteIfBound(false, UPGRADE_ACCOUNT_UNKNOWN_ERROR.ToString(), FAccountUserData());
                        return;
                    }

                    UE_LOG_REGISTERUSERINGAME(Log, TEXT("Success to upgrade headless account to full account: %s"), *NewFullAccount.DisplayName);

                    // Update account user cache on SDK.
                    AccelByte::FRegistry::Credentials.SetAccountUserData(NewFullAccount);

                    OnComplete.ExecuteIfBound(true, TEXT(""), NewFullAccount);
                }));
    }
