Maps
Maps are used together with game data to create maps with things such as spawn-points to be used with your game.
Maps are meant to be used as a way to store information about a map in your game. A map can be used to store spawn points that you later can access from your game.
A map can contain the following information;
Property | Description | Required |
|---|---|---|
game_id | Id of the game the map should belong to | Yes |
name | Name of the map | Yes |
asset_id | The ID of an asset if you've created one and don't want this call to do it for you. | No |
spawn_points | An array of spawn point objects. See below. | No |
Spawn points have a few extra properties inside that can be added.
Property | Description | Required |
|---|---|---|
position | Coordinates for where the spawn point should be positioned | Yes |
rotation | Coordinates for the rotation of the spawn point | Yes |
name | Name of the spawn point | Yes |
guid | A 38-character long unique identifier provided by you | No |
cameras | An array of cameras for the spawn point. See below. | No |
Maps are meant to be used together with content from your game.
When creating a map, you send a POST request with the payload data. This will create the map, an asset for it and spawn points with their own assets for each spawn point you've sent along.
You can send the request with something like https://www.postman.com/ or by calling the Admin API from a tool that you've created or with a custom editor-script in your game engine.
If you make a tool or create a way to use the Admin API inside of the game engine you are using, make sure that it is not included in a public build. Leaking the Admin API information can have devastating consequences for your game as it allow players to login and change anything in the LootLocker web console.
