How do you give different rewards for rewarded ads

Hi all,

Hopefully there's a straightforward solution to this so I'll get straight to it.

I've set up the Unity Ads script using UnityEngine.Advertisements instead of the old Monetization, but I've come across some minor issues with it that I'm struggling to overcome without some workaround.

Using Monetization I could create an ad, have a callback for that ad and set the rewards to give at the end. In the new system you don't seem to set which callback the ad goes to, so there's just one for all ads, leaving me wondering how I can give different rewards.

In my AdManager script there are 2 functions (pasted below) that are used, one to play the ad, one for the callback to give rewards. But if I can't set which callback is used by which ad, then I can only call "ShowRewardedVideo" from any ad button, and then it will always give the same rewards.

Hopefully this make sense, below are the two functions within the AdManager script that I'm using. Any help is appreciated.

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2. public void ShowRewardedVideo()
3.     {
4.         if (Advertisement.IsReady(myPlacementId))
5.         {
6.             Advertisement.Show(myPlacementId);
7.         }
8.         else
9.         {
10.             print("Rewarded video not ready");
11.         }
12.     }
13.  
14.     public void OnUnityAdsDidFinish(string placementId, ShowResult showResult)
15.     {
16.         // Define conditional logic for each ad completion status:
17.         if (showResult == ShowResult.Finished)
18.         {
19.             print("Ad completed");
20.         }
21.         else if (showResult == ShowResult.Skipped)
22.         {
23.             print("Ad skipped");
24.         }
25.         else if (showResult == ShowResult.Failed)
26.         {
27.             print("Ad failed");
28.         }
29.     }
30.  

Here is an example of what I'm trying to do from my game:

Rewarded Ad 1
The player presses the button, watches the ad, and is given 100 coins

Reward Ad 2
The player presses the button, watches the ad, and is loaded into a new level

It feels like the only way I can see it's intended to work is by adding a new placement ID for every rewarded ad you have in your game... which seems crazy as then surely you're juggling multiple ads to be ready to show, instead of 1/2.

 

Thanks for your help guys, I'm going to review the options and see which works best for me.

Out of curiosity, if I did add multiple placementIDs for give different rewards, would it affect the live game?
For example, I currently have "rewardedVideo" as my rewarded ad placementID in my live game. If I were to name the placementIDs more appropriately based on where they're triggered, and edited this one, would it break in the live version as it's looking for "rewardedVideo", which no longer exists?

 

Hi @WhiteHotGames, did you get to a solution? could you please share with me? I am trying to do this for 2 weeks now.

 

Hi @Macaquito69

I ended up creating multiple new placement IDs in the Unity dashboard for each ad use in game. This way when I want to trigger an ad I send the string of the ad e.g. "DoubleCoinsResults" to the AdManager, which plays the ad and runs the appropriate callback for the Placement ID, where you can then give the rewards you want by using a switch statement.

It's a bit lengthier than my old version which would just have the ad code in each script where needed and have it's own callback, but much more efficient.

Hope that helps!

 

How do you achieve the same with Unity Mediation Reward Ad ?

 

I wrote below codes for unity 2019.1.9 but when now I transfer to unity 2020.3.45 so I receive Error in scripts RewardedAdsButton.cs Aon below red color codes :

public class RewardedAdsButton : MonoBehaviour, IUnityAdsListener {


and
public void OnUnityAdsDidFinish (string placementId, ShowResult showResult) {

and I receive Errors on script codes: androidplatform.cs on red color :
m_UnityAdsPurchase?.Initialize(this);



so how can I resolve it unity 2020.3.45?
Thanks
