It seem I need a server to use this asset.
is it possible to make an option to use local file?

 

Hello,
Yes you need a server. The reason you need a server is because the device that has your app, has to download the picture otherwise it has nothing to display. Using a server you can dynamically change your promotional game without updating all your apps.

A local file is not accessible for your players.

You want this popup to always display the same picture and promote the same game without the possibility to change it? Or if you want to change it to make another build?

Hope this makes it clear. Let us know if you have more questions.

 

Great! I got your point.
Few more questions
- Can I host the files on Dropbox / Onedrive or other similar services?
- Do you have a plan to make back-end system for it?

 

Hello, I tried to use dropbox and google drive as servers but i got this error.

 

Hello,
Can you tell us what Unity version are you using?
Also can you send us the link to your file? You can use gley.mobi@gmail.com to send the link if you do not want to post it publicly.

 

Hi, Can we show more than one game to promote through this template?

 

Hello,
Only one game at the time. But if you want to change the game you just have to update the file on your servers and your game will change in all games that are using this asset. So each day you can promote another game.

 

We just added support for visual scripting tools: Bolt, Game Flow and Playmaker.
You can try it for free here:

Great asset!
Is there a way I can tell if the Cross Promo is being shown? I am having a problem that when user clicks on add OR closes it the items behind it on screen are also getting the click. I just need to add in a check on those so that they do not react if cross promo is visible.

 

Hello,
Currently there is no such a method, but you can make it using one minor change:
Go to CrossPromo.cs, line 85 an put public in front of bool ReadyToShow() method

and then you can do something like this:
if(CrossPromo.Instance.ReadyToShow())
{
//the popup is will be active now so stop your clicks
CrossPromo.Instance.ShowCrossPromoPopup();
}

 

Hello, I have tried using it with dropbox link or own server link everytime i am unable to download the crosspromo file

 

Dropbox does not work, your own setver should be fine, make sure your file is public. if you paste the link insede a web browser you need to be able to see the content of your file dirrectly, withoud pressing aditional buttons and it will work
