Facebook Audience Network custom script help please

[9TOFRIDAY]

Hey peeps

so I'm trying to write custom action for Facebook audience network.

here is the script I'm trying to replicate in a playmaker action:

Code: [Select]

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using AudienceNetwork;

[RequireComponent (typeof(CanvasRenderer))]
[RequireComponent (typeof(RectTransform))]
public class NativeAdTest : MonoBehaviour
{
    private NativeAd nativeAd;

    // UI elements in scene
    [Header("Text:")]
    public Text title;
    public Text socialContext;
    [Header("Images:")]
    public Image coverImage;
    public Image iconImage;
    [Header("Buttons:")]
    public Text callToAction;
    public Button callToActionButton;

public Text errorHandle;


    void Awake ()
    {
        // Create a native ad request with a unique placement ID (generate your own on the Facebook app settings).
        // Use different ID for each ad placement in your app.
NativeAd nativeAd = new AudienceNetwork.NativeAd ("319403784850492_327199570737580");
        this.nativeAd = nativeAd;

        // Wire up GameObject with the native ad; the specified buttons will be clickable.
        nativeAd.RegisterGameObjectForImpression (gameObject, new Button[] { callToActionButton });

        // Set delegates to get notified on changes or when the user interacts with the ad.
        nativeAd.NativeAdDidLoad = (delegate() {
            Debug.Log ("Native ad loaded.");

            Debug.Log ("Loading images...");
            // Use helper methods to load images from native ad URLs
            StartCoroutine (nativeAd.LoadIconImage (nativeAd.IconImageURL));
            StartCoroutine (nativeAd.LoadCoverImage (nativeAd.CoverImageURL));
            Debug.Log ("Images loaded.");
            title.text = nativeAd.Title;
            socialContext.text = nativeAd.SocialContext;
            callToAction.text = nativeAd.CallToAction;
errorHandle.text = ("Loaded");

        });
        nativeAd.NativeAdDidFailWithError = (delegate(string error) {
            Debug.Log ("Native ad failed to load with error: " + error);
errorHandle.text = ("error");


        });
        nativeAd.NativeAdWillLogImpression = (delegate() {
            Debug.Log ("Native ad logged impression.");
        });
        nativeAd.NativeAdDidClick = (delegate() {
            Debug.Log ("Native ad clicked.");
        });

        // Initiate a request to load an ad.
        nativeAd.LoadAd ();
    }

    void OnGUI ()
    {
        // Update GUI from native ad
        coverImage.sprite = nativeAd.CoverImage;
        iconImage.sprite = nativeAd.IconImage;
    }
}

This is how far I've gotten:

Code: [Select]


namespace HutongGames.PlayMaker.Actions {

[ActionCategory("Facebook Adverts")]
[Tooltip("Load adverts")]

//[RequireComponent (typeof(CanvasRenderer))]
//[RequireComponent (typeof(RectTransform))]

public class LoadFBAdvert : FsmStateAction {

[Header("Images:")]
[RequiredFieldAttribute]
public FsmString title;
[RequiredFieldAttribute]
public FsmString socialContext;

[RequiredFieldAttribute]
[CheckForComponent(typeof(Image))]
public FsmObject coverImage;

[RequiredFieldAttribute]
[CheckForComponent(typeof(Image))]
public FsmObject iconImage;

[RequiredFieldAttribute]
public FsmString callToAction;
[RequiredFieldAttribute]
[CheckForComponent(typeof(Button))]
public FsmObject callToActionButton;

private NativeAd nativeAd;




[RequiredFieldAttribute]
public FsmEvent AdvertSuccessful;
[RequiredFieldAttribute]
public FsmEvent AdvertFailed;


public override void OnEnter()
{

// Create a native ad request with a unique placement ID (generate your own on the Facebook app settings).
// Use different ID for each ad placement in your app.
NativeAd nativeAd = new AudienceNetwork.NativeAd ("319403784850492_327199570737580");
this.nativeAd = nativeAd;

// Wire up GameObject with the native ad; the specified buttons will be clickable.

nativeAd.RegisterGameObjectForImpression (gameObject, new Button[] { callToActionButton });

}

}
}
I don't know what this means:

Code: [Select]

nativeAd.RegisterGameObjectForImpression (gameObject, new Button[] { callToActionButton });

i know I'm doing something wrong here saving the variables - but i don't understand the basics. game object gives a red error.
can anyone pleaser assist me? maybe even explain what exactly one needs to do in an instance like this.

thanks

Hi,

 Indeed, this is a bold script to turn into an action if you are new to c#.

 Typically, this is too much for a custom action. Instead you should keep this as a monobehavior and control it from PlayMaker.

Instead of doing the job in "awake" do it in a a Public function that you can then call using "sendMessage" action for example.

 The two difficulties you are facing with this script to port as Custom action are:

-- Coroutine don't work inside Custom Actions, only in Monobehavior
-- the legacy UI isn't ideal within Custom Action. I strongly suggest you switch to the new Unity UI or ngui and the likes.

Bye,
