Tips when working with events

Track events

Use the gp.events.has() check to find out if an event is currently taking place.

You can style your game for the event by checking if it is active at the start of the game.

if (gp.events.has('HALLOWEEN')) {
    gp.setBackground({ url: '/halloween-bg.png' });
}

Join the Event

A player can join an event automatically if the event has auto-join enabled or through the gp.events.join() method.

Use manual registration for the event if you need to interactively invite the player to join the event.

// It's Halloween right now
if (gp.events.has('HALLOWEEN') {
    // The player has not joined the event yet
    if (!gp.events.isJoined('HALLOWEEN')) {
        myGame.showDialog({
            name: 'Halloween Celebration',
            description: 'Travel back in time and discover how Halloween originated!',
            buttonText: 'Embark on an adventure',
            onAccept: () => gp.events.join({ tag: 'HALLOWEEN' })
        });
    }
}

Actions

Join Event

+1 Request

If auto-join is disabled for the event, you can have the player join the event at a specific moment:

JavaScript

// By ID
gp.events.join({ id: 123 });
// By Tag
gp.events.join({ tag: 'HALLOWEEN' });

Unity

// By ID
GP_Events.Join("123");
// By Tag
GP_Events.Join("HALLOWEEN");

The method returns the event and player's event:

JavaScript

const { event, playerEvent } = await gp.events.join({ id: 123 });

Unity

Not implemented in Unity

Properties

Event List

FREE

You have access to the complete list of events when the game starts. See event fields.

JavaScript

gp.events.list.forEach((event) => {
    // event.id
    // event.tag
    // event.name
    // event.description
    // event.icon
    // event.isAutoJoin
    // event.dateStart
    // event.dateEnd
    // event.timeLeft
    // event.triggers
});

Unity

EventData[] eventsData = GP_Events.List();
foreach (EventData data in eventsData)
{
    Debug.Log("ID: " + data.id);
    Debug.Log("Tag: " + data.tag);
    Debug.Log("Name: " + data.name);
    Debug.Log("Description: " + data.description);
    Debug.Log("Icon: " + data.icon);
    Debug.Log("Icon small: " + data.iconSmall);
    Debug.Log("Date Start: " + data.dateStart);
    Debug.Log("Date End: " + data.dateEnd);
    Debug.Log("Is Active: " + data.isActive);
    Debug.Log("Time left: " + data.timeLeft);
    Debug.Log("Is Auto join: " + data.isAutoJoin);

    foreach (TriggerData trigger in data.triggers)
    {
        Debug.Log("Trigger: " + JsonUtility.ToJson(trigger));
    }
}

Player's Active Event List

FREE

You have access to the complete list of events in which the player is participating as soon as the player is ready. See player event fields.

JavaScript

gp.events.activeList.forEach((playerEvent) => {
    // playerEvent.eventId
    // playerEvent.stats.activeDays
    // playerEvent.stats.activeDaysConsecutive
});

Unity

PlayerEvents[] playerEvents = GP_Events.ActiveList();
foreach (PlayerEvents playerEvent in playerEvents)
{
    Debug.Log("ID: " + playerEvent.eventId);
    Debug.Log("Active Days: " + playerEvent.stats.activeDays);
    Debug.Log("Active Days Consecutive: " + playerEvent.stats.activeDaysConsecutive);
}

Get Event Information

FREE

The method returns the event and additional fields:

• isJoined - Whether the player has joined the event or not;
• stats - Player's activity statistics in the event: total days and consecutive active days;
• rewards - A list of rewards that can be obtained from the event (calculated from the triggers list);
• achievements - A list of achievements that can be obtained from the event (calculated from the triggers list);
• products - A list of in-game purchases that can be obtained from the event (calculated from the triggers list);

JavaScript

// By ID
const eventInfo = gp.events.getEvent(123);
// By Tag
const eventInfo = gp.events.getEvent('HALLOWEEN');

const { event, isJoined, stats, rewards, achievements, products } = eventInfo;

// The event may not exist, make sure it exists
if (event) {
    console.info(event.id, isJoined, stats.activeDays);
}

Unity

// By ID or Tag
EventData data = GP_Events.GetEvent("HALLOWEEN");

// If an event exists, you can get information about it
Debug.Log("ID: " + data.id);
Debug.Log("Tag: " + data.tag);
Debug.Log("Name: " + data.name);
Debug.Log("Description: " + data.description);
Debug.Log("Icon: " + data.icon);

Debug.Log("Time left: " + data.timeLeft);
Debug.Log("Is Auto join: " + data.isAutoJoin);

foreach (TriggerData trigger in data.triggers)
{
    Debug.Log("Trigger: " + JsonUtility.ToJson(trigger));
}

Checks

Event is active

gp.events.has(idOrTag) FREE

JavaScript

// By ID
const hasEvent = gp.events.has(123);
// By Tag
const hasEvent = gp.events.has('HALLOWEEN');

// Check
if (hasEvent) {
    // The event HALLOWEEN exists
}

Unity

// By ID or Tag
bool isActive = GP_Events.IsActive("HALLOWEEN");

// Check
if (isActive) {
    // The event HALLOWEEN exists
}

Player is joined in the event

gp.events.isJoined(idOrTag) FREE

JavaScript

// By ID
const isJoinedEvent = gp.events.isJoined(123);
// By Tag
const isJoinedEvent = gp.events.isJoined('HALLOWEEN');

// Check
if (isJoinedEvent) {
    // The player is joined in the event HALLOWEEN
}

Unity

// By ID or Tag
bool isJoined = GP_Events.IsJoined("HALLOWEEN");

// Check
if (isJoined) {
    // The player is joined in the event HALLOWEEN
}

Events

Player joined the event

The callback returns event and player event:

JavaScript

gp.events.on('join', ({ event, playerEvent }) => {
    // event and player event are available
});

Unity

// Subscribe to event
private void OnEnable()
{
    GP_Events.OnEventJoin += OnJoin;
}

// Unsubscribe from event
private void OnDisable()
{
    GP_Events.OnEventJoin -= OnJoin;
}

// Successful join
public void OnJoin(PlayerEvents playerEvent)
{
    Debug.Log("Join event: " + JsonUtility.ToJson(playerEvent));
}

Failed to join the event

The callback returns an error. See error codes:

JavaScript

gp.events.on('error:join', (err) => {
    // handle errors
});

Unity

// Subscribe to event
private void OnEnable()
{
    GP_Events.OnEventJoinError += OnJoinError;
}

// Unsubscribe from event
private void OnDisable()
{
    GP_Events.OnEventJoinError -= OnJoinError;
}

// Handle errors
public void OnJoinError(string error)
{
    Debug.Log("Join error: " + error);
}
