Any difference between isGuestAccount and getAccount?

[goodiewarrior]

I was wondering if there is any difference between:

if getAccount... then 

And

if isGuestAccount(...) then 

[roaddog]

getAccount returns an account if the account exist, isGuestAccount returns boolean (true/false)

I mean, is there any difference checking if someone is logged or not?

Yes, it has difference. When you are not logged in, automatically you get an guest account(when you quit the game, this account is deleted, consequently all data of this account will be lost). So, if you check using getPlayerAccount() it will return the account being guest or not, to be sure that the player logged in use isGuestAccount() after you got the account from the player using getPlayerAccount().

getAccount : get account by name if exists.

isGuestAccount : check an account is guest or not, will be return true if the account is guest..
