Title: Steam leaderboards
Post by: Neikke on December 04, 2017, 06:13:07 AM
Hey guys,

Is there a quick and relatively easy way (for a noob) to implement Steam Leaderboards and Achievements? Thanks in advance!

It seems like every week there is a new topic asking about leaderboards.

Here (http://hutonggames.com/playmakerforum/index.php?topic=8464.0) is the discussion with the actions and user experiences.

This is my simple setup for leaderboards and achievements.
Dont be afraid, im a complete noob (and not the smartest person in the world) and its not hard.

Remember, the game must be running from steam for the setup to work... locally it would either not work or crash the game.

Wow, cool! Thanks a lot for the in-depth info Clandestine! Looks like quite nice way of implementing it. If I understood it correctly, the method described in the thread you mentioned also requires game to be run from Steam, isn't it?

Hi Clandestine,

It kept giving me: "Tried to upload score but Leaderboards haven't finished loading yet." So I thought to put a 3 seconds long "Wait" action before "Steam Upload Score" action. Not sure if it's the right way of doing it, though, is it?

By the way why do you have Wait action - AFTER "Steam Upload Score" action?

Sorry for the late reply (holidays). You did initialize steam, right (Using Steam Leaderboards Setup)? The Wait is... actually i dont remember exactly why i put it there, but i usually use wait after certain actions that loop to avoid stack overflow or load on the process (i actually got framerate dips when actions repeat too fast).
