Before we can create the Feedback report, we first need to find the category to report the player under.
If you only have a single category, you could manually retrieve the category ID from the LootLocker Console. However, if you have multiple categories, you should list the categories and let the player choose which category to report under.
When working with Category IDs manually in your code, be aware that switching between environments (e.g. development, staging, production) requires you to modify which ID is used in your game code. This is not the case when using the endpoint to list the categories.
To retrieve all the categories, we can use the following code:
public void RetrieveCategoryIDs()
{
LootLockerSDKManager.ListPlayerFeedbackCategories((response) =>
{
if (!response.success)
{
// Replace this with your own error handling
Debug.Log("Could not list player related feedback categories");
Debug.Log(response.errorData.ToString());
return;
}
// Replace this section with your own UI to let the player choose the category
foreach (var category in response.categories)
{
Debug.Log(category.name + "\n"
+ category.description + "\n"
+ category.id);
}
});
}
Now that we have the category ID, we can send the player report.
To send a player report, we need to provide the following information:
The category ID
The ULID of the player being reported
Optionally a description, which can be entered by the player, or filled in by the game
How to get the ULID for the player being reported will vary from game to game, but it's currently returned in the player session endpoints, leaderboard endpoints and lookup endpoints.
public void SendPlayerReport()
{
string cateogryID = "category_id_here";
string reportedPlayerULID = "player_id_here";
string description = "The Player had an inappropiate profile picture";
LootLockerSDKManager.SendPlayerFeedback(reportedPlayerULID, description, cateogryID, (response) =>
{
if (!response.success)
{
// Replace this with your own error handling
Debug.Log("Could not report player");
Debug.Log(response.errorData.ToString());
return;
}
// Replace this with your own success handling
Debug.Log("Report sent to LootLocker");
});
}
curl -X "https://api.lootlocker.io/game/feedback" \
-H "x-session-token: your_token_here" \
-D '{
"entity": "player",
"entity_id": "",
"category_id": "category_id_here",
"description": "The Player had an inappropiate profile picture"
}'
