Hi,
I'm granting a bundle with drop table items and some currency to the user. In the grant results I can pull the items granted but not currency. I can see it was granted in the playstream. What's the best way to get this information.
Thanks Quentin
There's a player_virtual_currency_balance_changed event that provides this information. We'll also be adding information on VC added as part of a bundle/container operation to the information returned from that operation in a future update.
This is 2 years now and still we don't know how much was granted in a bundle. Do we really need to check wether it was a bundle, check the catalog for definition of the bundle and make it ourselves, alternative make another call to get the balance??
I'd like to bump the question - how is the game client supposed to detect that a bundle/container has granted virtual currency and update its total on the client side?
Hi chrisk.
The only way of handling it right now is to have the full catalog downloaded (or bundled) to the client and check the definition of the bundle there. I was at first sceptical with this approach (and still am as you should be able to have items that the client shouldnt be aware about) but also as items being delivered to the client (inventory) doesnt contain any of the metadata you still need to check the catalog for the full definition of the item.
Thanks for confirming that that's the best practice, @andreas.
