Last updated 7 months ago

In this How-to, we’ll go through the process of adding a metadata to one of our several supported systems. The process is the same for all other systems that support metadata: catalog items (link), progressions (link) and currencies(link).

Prerequisites

  • , , or

Navigate to the feature that you want to edit and click on metadata to edit metadata for this item.

Click on the Add Field button a choose one from the list of available types: string, bool, number, json or file.

Input a key and add data into your newly created metadata field. For files, you can click to open a file browser or use drag and drop.

Use the checkbox to decide if the metadata should be readable from the game client or only from the server.

Conclusion

In this How-to, we’ve created and added metadata to one feature in a system. Now that you have metadata set, the next step is to fetch that metadata: , , .
