UGC

Functions to create, consume, and interact with the Steam Workshop.

Available in both the main GodotSteam branches and GodotSteam Server branches

Functions

addAppDependency

addAppDependency( uint64_t published_file_id, uint32_t app_id )

Adds a dependency between the given item and the appid. This list of dependencies can be retrieved by calling getAppDependencies. This is a soft-dependency that is displayed on the web. It is up to the application to determine whether the item can actually be used or not.

Triggers a add_app_dependency_result callback.

Returns: void

addContentDescriptor

addContentDescriptor( uint64_t update_handle, int descriptor_id )

Add a content descriptor to a piece of UGC.

Returns: bool

Note: Valve has no documentation on this function currently.

addDependency

addDependency( int published_file_id, int child_published_file_id )

Adds a workshop item as a dependency to the specified item. If the published_file_id item is of type k_EWorkshopFileTypeCollection (2), than the child_published_file_id is simply added to that collection. Otherwise, the dependency is a soft one that is displayed on the web and can be retrieved via the ISteamUGC API using a combination of the numChildren key returned from getQueryUGCResult and getQueryUGCChildren.

Triggers a add_ugc_dependency_result callback.

Returns: void

addExcludedTag

Adds a excluded tag to a pending UGC Query. This will only return UGC without the specified tag.

Returns: bool

Note: This must be set before you send a UGC Query handle using sendQueryUGCRequest.

addItemKeyValueTag

addItemKeyValueTag( uint64_t update_handle, string key, string value )

Adds a key-value tag pair to an item. Keys can map to multiple different values (1-to-many relationship).

Key names are restricted to alpha-numeric characters and the '_' character.

Both keys and values cannot exceed 255 characters in length.

Key-value tags are searchable by exact match only.

Returns: bool

Note: This must be set before you submit the UGC update handle using submitItemUpdate.

addItemPreviewFile

addItemPreviewFile( uint64_t query_handle, string preview_file, int type )
