Idea

Thanks! So to be clear (for our backlog item), you're seeing this as a call that takes an array of ItemId/Count pairs, so that the logic goes through and removes the specified count of all the items listed. In the case where one or more of the items doesn't have enough of the item listed, presumably you would expect the entire operation to fail and nothing to be consumed, correct?

Exactly that. Or a list of ItemIds (allowing duplicates). Ideally, an option flag for "do as much as you can" and "fail if you can't do anything", but that's not vital - either being the default would work.

+1 for this request. I would imagine an overloaded method call for ConsumeItem that takes an array instead of just one item. Or just call it ConsumeItems.

Another use case for this is when you're equipping a bunch of power-ups or boosts before a gameplay session... you want to consume all the items at once as soon as the session starts.

FYI, for now I'm doing this using CloudScript (to limit the number of internet requests) like this:

handlers.ConsumeCards = function (args)
{
  for (var id in args.cards)
  {
    var ConsumeRequest = {
      "PlayFabId" : currentPlayerId,
      "ItemInstanceId": id,
      "ConsumeCount": parseInt(args.cards[id])
    };
    var ConsumeRequestResult = server.ConsumeItem(ConsumeRequest);
  }
  return "success";
}

With this on the Unity side:

// This is just an example, but the idea is to create a dictionary of InstanceIds and consume counts:
Dictionary<string, int> consumeData = new Dictionary<string, int>()
{
  {"57AF1EB9DC6836EF", 1},
  {"BD5091B722892D38", 1}
};

ExecuteCloudScriptRequest request = new ExecuteCloudScriptRequest() { 
  FunctionName = "ConsumeCards",
  FunctionParameter = new {
    cards = consumeData
  }
};
PlayFabClientAPI.ExecuteCloudScript(request, ConsumeCardsCallback, OnApiCallError);  

Hello there, just checking, there is still no official batched operation for consuming items?
