Description

Authenticates the local user.
Your game should authenticate the player as early as possible after launching, ideally as soon as you can present a user interface to the player. For example, your game may be launched because the player accepted an invitation to join a match or to take a turn in a turn-based match, so you want your game to authenticate the player and process the match invitation as quickly as possible. After you set a handler, authentication begins automatically and is repeated when your game moves to the background and then back to the foreground.

Check later status via GameKit.LocalPlayer.isAuthenticated and GameKit.LocalPlayer.AuthenticateError functions.

Examples

Login if needed:

If [ MBS( "GameKit.LocalPlayer.isAuthenticated" ) = 0 ]
    # Show Login dialog
    Set Variable [ $r ; Value: MBS( "GameKit.LocalPlayer.Authenticate" ) ]
End If
