How to Return PlayFab Callback Results to Event Sheet

Hello all - new to Construct 3 but have been enjoying the engine so far. I was working through some examples and successfully used the PlayFab javascript SDK for LoginWithCustomID. What I am not sure however, is what the best way within construct to pass the results from a javascript file back into event sheets.

My initial thought was to use the runtime.callFunction to an eventsheet function that accepted the results as an argument but runtime is not defined. The line below generates a promise but I am not sure how best to await / get the results back from the call back:

PlayFabClientSDK.LoginWithCustomID(loginRequest, LoginCallback)

function DoExampleLoginWithCustomID(f_Title_ID,f_Custom_ID){
 PlayFab.settings.titleId = f_Title_ID;
 var loginRequest = {
 // Currently, you need to look up the correct format for this object in the API-docs:
 // https://api.playfab.com/documentation/Client/method/LoginWithCustomID
 TitleId: PlayFab.settings.titleId,
 CustomId: f_Custom_ID,
 CreateAccount: true
 };


	PlayFabClientSDK.LoginWithCustomID(loginRequest, LoginCallback)
	
}

var LoginCallback = function (result, error) {
 if (result !== null) {
		console.log("It worked! Log");
		
		return result //this doesn't work
		
 } else if (error !== null) {
		console.log("It didn't worked! Log");
 return "Something went wrong with your first API call.\n" +
 "Here's some debug information:\n" +
 PlayFab.GenerateErrorReport(error);
 }
}

Thanks for the quick reply!

I was attempting to implement something similar to this. I have what is needed on the event sheet but what I run into is that "runtime" is not defined. I am not positive on what the best way is to ensure it is defined, any suggestions?

Below is current callback function:

var LoginCallback = function (result, error) {
 if (result !== null) {
		console.log("It worked! Log");
		var sessionTicket = result.data.SessionTicket;
		runtime.callFunction("LoginWithCustomID_Results",sessionTicket)
		//return "TESTING" //this doesn't work
 } else if (error !== null) {
		console.log("It didn't worked! Log");
 return "Something went wrong with your first API call.\n" +
 "Here's some debug information:\n" +
 PlayFab.GenerateErrorReport(error);
 }
}

Try this (I will also test):

Add this to an on startup script event:

globalThis.myIruntime = runtime

myIruntime.callFunction("LoginWithCustomID_Results",sessionTicket)

Awesome!

Thank you so much! worked liked a charm. I went down such a worm hole looking for solutions after banging my head on this.

Cheers

Also, just so you know there is a paid plugin that includes Playfab functions:
