steam achievements

[drarem]

Are there any exposed lua commands to steam achievements?

 

I tried this but I get 'attempt to call SetAchievement (nil value)'...

 

Steamworks:Initialize()

 

Steamworks:SetAchievement("testing")

 

 

Thanks.

I am adding two commands to the Lua API:

static void SetAchievement(const std::string& name);//lua

static void IncrementAchievementProgress(const std::string& name);//lua

Great, thanks!

How do you know what the max value is for the achievement? Wouldn't we have to set that per achievement?

[Josh]

It's set in your Steamworks account.

 

I'm sure there's a function to retrieve the max value so you can display it in game, but I didn't need this for Leadwerks so I haven't bothered with it.

[Rick]

I'm confused. I assume SetAchievement() actually create an achievement? If so, then each needs a max value doesn't it? If not, then what does SetAchievement() do?

[drarem]

I think in the steam account you set up a number of hard coded 'achievements'.. then you do a SetAchievement('hard coded achievement'), to set it to true to make the achievement 100%. For the increment, dont see how that works yet, but i'm guessing you can go from 0 to 100% for a certain achievement such as number of kills or what not.

[Rick]

Oh, so Set is actually completing it if it's more of a boolean type achievement, and increment if it's a progress type thing which would complete automatically once max value is reached.

 

 

Can we create achievements for our workshop games? Guessing no but thought I'd ask.

Can't seem to find anything for achievements in my account. Like Rick said is it possible for workshop games?
