userInfoUpdate

Overview

This event occurs when new information has been received for one user. This event also provides flags indicating which aspect of the user’s information has changed during gameplay.

When calling the steamworks.requestLeaderboardEntries() function, Steam will automatically fetch user information and dispatch these events for each requested entry. This way, user information for each leaderboard entry will be immediately available to you by calling the steamworks.getUserInfo() function.

Also, if you call the steamworks.getUserInfo() function and it returns nil, Steam will automatically fetch that user’s information asynchronously — assuming it was given a valid user ID — and dispatch this event when that information becomes available. After receiving this event, you can call the steamworks.getUserInfo() function again to acquire that user’s information.

You can receive these events by adding a listener to the plugin via the steamworks.addEventListener() function.

Example

local steamworks = require( "plugin.steamworks" )

-- Called when info about one user has been received or changed
local function onUserInfoUpdated( event )
    -- Print information about the user
    local userInfo = steamworks.getUserInfo( event.userSteamId )
    if ( userInfo ) then
        print( "User Name: " .. userInfo.name )
        print( "User Nickname: " .. userInfo.nickname )
        print( "Steam Level: " .. tostring(userInfo.steamLevel) )
        print( "Status: " .. userInfo.status )
        print( "Relationship: " .. userInfo.relationship )
    end

    -- Print which aspects of the user info has changed
    print( "Has Name Changed: " .. tostring(event.nameChanged) )
    print( "Has Nickname Changed: " .. tostring(event.nicknameChanged) )
