Initial deposit for player, not characters

We just saw using Initial Deposit in Economy tab, that currencies were added correctly for new players, but that it was also added for each new player character in their specific currencies.

How can we disable the initial deposit for characters while keeping it on players?

Regards

If you set the initial deposit of one virtual currency(VC) in the Game Manager. Whether you create a new player or a new character, it will grant the initial deposit to them. It’s the current API design. If you want to only grant initial deposit to new players, not to characters you can implement it by yourself using Rules and CloudScript. You can track the player-created event, then use CloudScript to grant them VC. If so, it will grant VC to players only when they created a new player. The action won’t be triggered when a character is created.

You can also define two virtual currencies. One VC is defined for players, and another one is defined for characters. If so, the one VC’s initial deposit configure won’t affect another one. Then you should do the corresponding distinction when they do the purchase. Please choose the one that suits you.

Hi Sarah,

and thanks for your reply.
Such a weird API design anyway.

I think I'll clean the character currency then, at its creation.
