Type Event Revision Release 2025.3721 Keywords steam, steamworks, achievements, achievementInfoUpdate See also steamworks.addEventListener() steamworks.*
This event occurs when an achievement’s progress or unlock status has been changed for the currently logged in user. It is dispatched after a successful call to the steamworks.setAchievementUnlocked() or steamworks.setAchievementProgress() functions.
You can receive these events by adding a listener to the plugin via the steamworks.addEventListener() function.
local steamworks = require( "plugin.steamworks" )
-- Called when an achievement's progress or unlock status has changed
local function onAchievementInfoUpdated( event )
-- Fetch information about the achievement that has changed status
local achievementInfo = steamworks.getAchievementInfo( event.achievementName )
-- Print the achievement's current progress to the log
print( "Achievement Progress Updated" )
print( " Localized Name: " .. achievementInfo.localizedName )
print( " Localized Description: " .. achievementInfo.localizedDescription )
print( " Is Unlocked: " .. tostring(achievementInfo.unlocked) )
-- Print progress to the log
-- This is only relevant if "steamworks.setAchievementProgress()" was called
if ( event.currentProgress ) then
local percentProgress = ( event.currentProgress / event.maxProgress ) * 100
print( " Progress: " .. tostring(percentProgress) .. "%" )
end
end
-- Set up a listener to be invoked when achievement status has changed
steamworks.addEventListener( "achievementInfoUpdate", onAchievementInfoUpdated )
