Where to place scripts exactly?

In the Unity Ads Documentation it say to put Using UnityEngine.Advertisements; in your script. Which script. The main script in my game? A new script attached to an empty game object? Do I just add it to the scripts that come with the unity ads package? Documentation is not too clear on this.

 

The example script here:

https://unityads.unity3d.com/help/D...shers/Integration-Guide-for-Unity-Asset-Store

shows you pretty much everything you need to know. Add that script to your project, and make a new empty GameObject that just has that script on. When you press the play button the buttons in that script should appear. You're now using Unity Ads.

When you add a "using" into a script, you are giving that script the ability to use the functions/variables that that assembly adds. So, you need to add the using into any script where you want to call into the Advertisements code.

 

Okay I read that and I understand it. However one last question. Do I need the Game Object with that script on it in each scene, or just in any scene, and it will generate ads no matter which scene the user is in? Thanks for all the help.

 

Hello,
Yes you need a gameobject empty or not, attach your script to that object. You can use initialize method only once per game session. So its a good practice to initialize ad network when game first starts, or initialize when network connection is on(it mentioned somewhere in this forum). You can keep this gameobject in every scene and use it something like your ad network manager script. Or you can divide initialization part if you dont keep.
Keep digging.

So I can also place something like DontDestroyOnLoad, etc, in the script and have the Game Object instantiate itself per scene? Or I'll just have it in the main scene and initialize it on runtime? Thanks a alot.

 

Hello,
If you use DontDestroyonLoad , you dont need to create another instatiate.

Right. I got it. Thanks a lot for all the help.

 

I placed the script shown on the link above, as described by everyone, but its giving me an error for unexpected symbol of "<" on the line Advertisement.Initialize (<YOUR GAME ID HERE>); If I remove the <> it says
No overload for method `Initialize' takes `1' arguments If I remove the () instead it says Unexpected symbol ";"

Any ideas what I'm missing?

 

Use code:
Advertisement.Initialize ("12345");

Replace 12345 with your GAME ID. More details here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8FVVDa6eGfw#t=235 (from 3:53).

 

Would be worth reading posts here:

Hey all, I'm getting an error: No overload for method `Initialize' takes `1' arguments

What could that mean? I'm not too good with code, also, when you said this, Graham, what did you mean?

"When you add a "using" into a script, you are giving that script the ability to use the functions/variables that that assembly adds. So, you need to add the using into any script where you want to call into the Advertisements code."

So I would need to add some sort of "using" line into the script? Why isn't there one on there already?

 

Hello,

using UnityEngine.Advertisements;

You should use it in top of your C# code. You can search on web c# libraries and usage.

Graham gives a link that has sample code, and you can search this forum for more sample codes.

No pain no gain =)

Check out this demo script. It's a fully commented version of the one available in the Unity Ads docs, which should help answer some of the questions you have. Let me know if you're still fuzzy about any part of the integration.

 

Feedback: Using the pdf included in the asset store unityads package, I did not realize the gameid needs to be a string parameter.

Thanks, mgnr, for the hint above!
