gamecircle.Whispersync.DeveloperString

Overview

The table returned from the GetDeveloperString function. The table includes the local data as well as cloud data, and can tell you if the data is in conflict. A useful feature for when new data is downloaded by Whispersync from Amazon’s cloud servers.

Properties

• value - String
  The value of the developer string that is stored locally.
• timestamp - _Number The timestamp of the locally saved developer string value, represented as the amount of time since January 1st, 1970
• cloudValue - String
  The value of the developer string that is stored in the cloud.
• cloudTimestamp - _Number The timestamp of the developer string value saved in the cloud, represented as the amount of time since January 1st, 1970
• inConflict - _Boolean If the data is in conflict between the local copy and cloud copy, this boolean will be set to “true”
• isSet - _Boolean Boolean represents whether or not a value has been assigned to the DeveloperString yet. Changes to true after the first assignment.

Example

local gamecircle = require("plugin.gamecircle")  
gamecircle.Init(false, false, true)   
local devString = gamecircle.Whispersync.GetDeveloperString("myFirstDevString")  
local newStringValue = devString.value .. "a"  
gamecircle.Whispersync.SetDeveloperString("myFirstDevString", newStringValue)  

print("These are all the Developer Strings I've generated under the current GameData set of Whispersync.")  
local keys = gamecircle.Whispersync.GetDeveloperStringKeys()  
for i,key in ipairs(keys) do  
    print("-" .. key)  
end  

function WhispersyncCallback(event)  
    if event == "NEW_DATA" then  
        local checkDevString = gamecircle.Whispersync.GetDeveloperString("myFirstDevString")  
        if checkDevString.inConflit then  
            print("The Developer String is in conflict! Using cloud data and marking as resolved")  
            gamecircle.Whispersync.SetDeveloperString("myFirstDevString", checkDevString.cloudValue)  
            gameCircle.Whispersync.MarkAsResolved("myFirstDevString")  
        end  
    end  
end
