Usage

These examples will show you, how to get started using the plugin. For more in-depth examples, explore the documentation.

Introduction to Subsystems

The plugin implements a custom subsystem. You can find more information about subsystems here.

Blueprints

Before you can call any other node of the plugin, you have to call the "Initialize"-node. There you can set your game's id and private key.

C++

The plugin subsystem (see above) is called UGameJoltSubsystem and is accessible from the GameInstance

#include "GameJoltSubsystem.h"

[...]

// To get started you have to call the `Setup` function of the subsystem
// to provide your game's id and private key.
GetGameInstance()->GetSubsystem<UGameJoltSubsystem>()->Setup(12345, "coolPrivateKey");

Then you can use the async-actions provided by the plugin to interact with GameJolt. For an API-Reference for the plugin please refer to the header files.
