Invoke trigger from game

In this How-to, we’ll go through the process of invoking a created trigger from the game client.

Prerequisites

• A LootLocker account and a created game

• One or multiple triggers setup in the web console

• An active Game Session

When invoking triggers, you can specify to either invoke one or multiple triggers in the function.

Unity

// If you want to check and notify the player of what they received, save the keys of the successfully invoked triggers
List<string> successfulKeys = new List<string>();
LootLockerSDKManager.InvokeTriggersByKey(new string[] { "key_one", "key_two" }, (response) =>
{
    if (response.success)
    {
        // Even if keys fails, the call is successful, so you need to check which triggers were successful and which ones failed
        foreach (var item in response.Successful_keys)
        {
            Debug.Log("Key " + item.Key + " was successfully invoked.");
            // Save this key if you want the check what the player got
            successfulKeys.Add(item.Key);
            // Add your own code here to handle successful keys
        }
        foreach (var item in response.Failed_keys)
        {
            Debug.LogWarning("Key " + item.Key + " failed with reason:"+item.reason);
            // Add your own code here to handle the error
        }
        
        // Here you would put code to check notifications for what the player received.
    }
    else
    {
        Debug.Log(response.errorData.message);
        // Add your own code here to handle the error
    }
});

REST

curl --location --request POST 'https://api.lootlocker.io/game/triggers/cozy-crusader/v1' \
--header 'x-session-token: 3266edd928f5769545425469ac417fee456d8367' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-raw '{
    "keys": [
        "key1",
        "key2",
        "key3"
    ]
}'

When sending the same trigger multiple times in the same request, it will only invoke once. To invoke the same trigger multiple times, it needs to be invoked in multiple functions.

Conclusion

In this How-to, we’ve invoked a trigger to reward the player. After you’ve gotten successful key responses, you may check to see the specific rewards given to the player.
