Functions

clearUserAchievement

clearUserAchievement( uint64_t steam_id, string name )

Resets the unlock status of an achievement for the specified user. This is primarily only ever used for testing. You must have called requestUserStats and it needs to return successfully via its callback prior to calling this. This call only modifies Steam's in-memory state and is very cheap. To submit the stats to the server you must call storeUserStats.

Returns: bool

Note: This will work only on achievements that game servers are allowed to set. If the "Set By" field for this achievement is "Official GS" then only game servers that have been declared as officially controlled by you will be able to set it. To do this you must set the IP range of your official servers in the Dedicated Servers section of App Admin.

serverGetUserAchievement

serverGetUserAchievement( uint64_t steam_id, string name )

Gets the unlock status of the Achievement.

Returns: dictionary

Contains the following keys:

result (bool)
user (int) as Steam ID
name (string)
unlocked (bool

serverGetUserStatFloat

serverGetUserStatFloat( uint64_t steam_id, string name )

Gets the current value of the a stat for the specified user.

Returns: float

serverGetUserStatInt

serverGetUserStatInt( uint64_t steam_id, string name )

Gets the current value of the a stat for the specified user.

serverRequestUserStats

serverRequestUserStats( uint64_t steam_id )

storeUserStats

You should only be calling this during major state changes such as the end of a round, the map changing, or the user leaving a server. If you have stats or achievements that you have saved locally but haven't uploaded with this function when your application process ends then this function will automatically be called. You can find additional debug information written to the %steam_install%\logs\stats_log.txt file.

Triggers a stats_stored callback.

Returns: void
