Resolved Inventory confusion on the docs

Hi all,
I'm trying to follow the code on the docs but having a little trouble figuring out how its implemented. I'm on this page of the docs: https://docs.unity.com/economy/SDK-player-inventory.html and just trying the first line where it gets the players current inventory. This is the code I am trying to use:

Code (csharp):

1. GetInventoryOptions options = new GetInventoryOptions
2. {
3.     ItemsPerFetch = 5
4. };
5. GetInventoryResult inventoryResult = await EconomyService.Instance.PlayerInventory.GetInventoryAsync(options);
6. List<PlayersInventoryItem> firstFiveItems = inventoryResult.PlayersInventoryItems;
7. // do something with your items
8. if (inventoryResult.HasNext) {
9.     inventoryResult = await inventoryResult.GetNextAsync(5);
10.     List<PlayersInventoryItem> nextFiveItems = inventoryResult.PlayersInventoryItems;
11.     // do something with your items
12. }

I am not really sure how this code is supposed to be used. Its not a function, and not a definition, so how do I make it work? Its not cloud code right? Just a little stuck at how this code from the documentation is actually used.


I have also found this page: https://docs.unity.com/economy/SDK-configuration.html#Inventories which seems to be going over a similar idea, but with slightly different code. The code I am looking at for this is:

Code (csharp):

1. List<InventoryItemDefinition> definitions = await EconomyService.Instance.Configuration.GetInventoryItemsAsync();

but I see that it takes a InventoryItemDefinition, which I can't find anywhere how to set that up. How do I make a currency definition? Is that something I do on the dashboard? or somewhere else?

Any help at all would be great!

 

Ok so I am much closer that I was before, I looked at the sameples projects and got this code to work just fine:

Code (csharp):

1. public async Task RefreshInventory()
2.     {
3.         GetInventoryResult inventoryResult = null;
4.         try
5.         {
6.             inventoryResult = await GetEconomyPlayerInventory();
7.             Debug.Log("Got Inventory!");
8.             Debug.Log(inventoryResult);
9.         }
10.         catch (EconomyRateLimitedException e)
11.         {
12.             //inventoryResult = await Utils.RetryEconomyFunction(GetEconomyPlayerInventory, e.RetryAfter);
13.         }
14.         catch (Exception e)
15.         {
16.             Debug.Log("Problem getting Economy inventory items:");
17.             Debug.LogException(e);
18.         }
19.         if (this == null)
20.             return;
21.         //inventoryHudView.Refresh(inventoryResult.PlayersInventoryItems);
22.     }
23.     static Task<GetInventoryResult> GetEconomyPlayerInventory()
24.     {
25.         var options = new GetInventoryOptions { ItemsPerFetch = 10 };
26.         return EconomyService.Instance.PlayerInventory.GetInventoryAsync(options);
27.     }

So I can check on the player's inventory when they log in. A great start! Now I am just having the trouble of adding the items... How do I actually add an item to the inventory?

 

I did manage to get that code working, actually pretty excited about that! Its not much, but every little bit of progress helps haha.

The only problem I am having is that this code, and the docs for this code, seem to just be about how to get the references from Economy, but not how to actually or change anything in Economy. It'll be very handy once I can start toying with the actual inventory though!

I did look a bit further to that code that does talk about adding items. Previously when I tried it the code was throwing errors, but this time it seems to not be throwing the errors! So I think I am making progress haha. I will let you know if I can get an item added properly.

also sorry I have two posts talking about essentially the same thing

 

IT DID!!! I finally got it to work!!! Thanks so much! Dunno what the magic was that was needed, but I managed to get an item added to a player's inventory Now I get to do all the hard parts of doing stuff with it in game haha.

Thanks for the help!
