Provides functions for accessing and submitting stats, achievements, and leaderboards.

Member Functions

Member functions for ISteamUserStats are called through the global accessor function SteamUserStats().

AttachLeaderboardUGC

Name	Type	Description
hSteamLeaderboard	SteamLeaderboard_t	A leaderboard handle obtained from FindLeaderboard or FindOrCreateLeaderboard.
hUGC	UGCHandle_t	Handle to a piece of user generated content that was shared using ISteamRemoteStorage::FileShare.

Attaches a piece of user generated content the current user's entry on a leaderboard.

This content could be a replay of the user achieving the score or a ghost to race against. The attached handle will be available when the entry is retrieved and can be accessed by other users using GetDownloadedLeaderboardEntry which contains LeaderboardEntry_t.m_hUGC. To create and download user generated content see the documentation for the Steam Workshop.

Once attached, the content will be available even if the underlying Cloud file is changed or deleted by the user.

You must call FindLeaderboard or FindOrCreateLeaderboard to get a SteamLeaderboard_t prior to calling this function.

Returns: SteamAPICall_t to be used with a LeaderboardUGCSet_t call result.

ClearAchievement

Name	Type	Description
pchName	const char *	The 'API Name' of the Achievement to reset.

Resets the unlock status of an achievement.

This is primarily only ever used for testing.

You must have called RequestCurrentStats and it needs to return successfully via its callback prior to calling this!

This call only modifies Steam's in-memory state so it is quite cheap. To send the unlock status to the server and to trigger the Steam overlay notification you must call StoreStats.

Returns: bool
This function returns true upon success if all of the following conditions are met; otherwise, false.

• The specified achievement "API Name" exists in App Admin on the Steamworks website, and the changes are published.
  
• RequestCurrentStats has completed and successfully returned its callback.

nRangeStart	int	The index to start downloading entries relative to eLeaderboardDataRequest.
nRangeEnd	int	The last index to retrieve entries for relative to eLeaderboardDataRequest.

Fetches a series of leaderboard entries for a specified leaderboard.

You can ask for more entries than exist, then this will return as many as do exist.

If you want to download entries for an arbitrary set of users, such as all of the users on a server then you can use DownloadLeaderboardEntriesForUsers which takes an array of Steam IDs.

You must call FindLeaderboard or FindOrCreateLeaderboard to get a SteamLeaderboard_t prior to calling this function.

Returns: SteamAPICall_t to be used with a LeaderboardScoresDownloaded_t call result.

Fetches leaderboard entries for an arbitrary set of users on a specified leaderboard.

A maximum of 100 users can be downloaded at a time, with only one outstanding call at a time. If a user doesn't have an entry on the specified leaderboard, they won't be included in the result.

If you want to download entries based on their ranking or friends of the current user then you should use DownloadLeaderboardEntries.

You must call FindLeaderboard or FindOrCreateLeaderboard to get a SteamLeaderboard_t prior to calling this function.

Returns: SteamAPICall_t to be used with a LeaderboardScoresDownloaded_t call result.
Returns k_uAPICallInvalid indicating an error if the number of users is greater than 100 or if one of the Steam IDs is invalid.

See Also: GetDownloadedLeaderboardEntry, UploadLeaderboardScore

FindLeaderboard

Name	Type	Description
pchLeaderboardName	const char *	The name of the leaderboard to find. Must not be longer than k_cchLeaderboardNameMax.

Gets a leaderboard by name.

You must call either this or FindOrCreateLeaderboard to obtain the leaderboard handle which is valid for the game session for each leaderboard you wish to access prior to calling any other Leaderboard functions.

Returns: SteamAPICall_t to be used with a LeaderboardFindResult_t call result.


See Also: GetLeaderboardEntryCount, DownloadLeaderboardEntries, UploadLeaderboardScore

You must call either this or FindLeaderboard to obtain the leaderboard handle which is valid for the game session for each leaderboard you wish to access prior to calling any other Leaderboard functions.

Leaderboards created with this function will not automatically show up in the Steam Community. You must manually set the Community Name field in the App Admin panel of the Steamworks website. As such it's generally recommended to prefer creating the leaderboards in the App Admin panel on the Steamworks website and using FindLeaderboard unless you're expected to have a large amount of dynamically created leaderboards.

You should never pass k_ELeaderboardSortMethodNone for eLeaderboardSortMethod or k_ELeaderboardDisplayTypeNone for eLeaderboardDisplayType as this is undefined behavior.

Returns: SteamAPICall_t to be used with a LeaderboardFindResult_t call result.

Returns: bool

StoreStats

Send the changed stats and achievements data to the server for permanent storage.

If this fails then nothing is sent to the server. It's advisable to keep trying until the call is successful.

This call can be rate limited. Call frequency should be on the order of minutes, rather than seconds. You should only be calling this during major state changes such as the end of a round, the map changing, or the user leaving a server. This call is required to display the achievement unlock notification dialog though, so if you have called SetAchievement then it's advisable to call this soon after that.

If you have stats or achievements that you have saved locally but haven't uploaded with this function when your application process ends then this function will automatically be called.

You can find additional debug information written to the %steam_install%\logs\stats_log.txt file.

Returns: bool
Triggers a UserStatsStored_t callback.
Triggers a UserAchievementStored_t callback.
This function returns true upon success if all of the following conditions are met; otherwise, false.

• RequestCurrentStats has completed and successfully returned its callback.
  
• The current game has stats associated with it in the Steamworks Partner backend, and those stats are published.

If the call is successful you will receive a UserStatsStored_t callback.

If m_eResult has a result of k_EResultInvalidParam, then one or more stats uploaded has been rejected, either because they broke constraints or were out of date. In this case the server sends back updated values and the stats should be updated locally to keep in sync. You do not need to call RequestCurrentStats again in this case.

If one or more achievements has been unlocked then this will also trigger a UserAchievementStored_t callback.

Uploads a user score to a specified leaderboard.

Details are optional game-defined information which outlines how the user got that score. For example if it's a racing style time based leaderboard you could store the timestamps when the player hits each checkpoint. If you have collectibles along the way you could use bit fields as booleans to store the items the player picked up in the playthrough.

Uploading scores to Steam is rate limited to 10 uploads per 10 minutes and you may only have one outstanding call to this function at a time.

Returns: SteamAPICall_t to be used with a LeaderboardScoreUploaded_t call result.

ELeaderboardDataRequest

Type of data request, used when downloading leaderboard entries with DownloadLeaderboardEntries.

Name	Value	Description
k_ELeaderboardDataRequestGlobal	0	Used to query for a sequential range of leaderboard entries by leaderboard rank. The start and end parameters control the requested range. For example, you can display the top 10 on a leaderboard for your game by setting start to 1 and end to 10.
k_ELeaderboardDataRequestGlobalAroundUser	1	Used to retrieve leaderboard entries relative a user's entry. The start parameter is the number of entries to retrieve before the current user's entry, and the end parameter is the number of entries after the current user's entry. The current user's entry is always included. For example, if the current user is #5 on the leaderboard, setting start to -2 and end to 2 will return 5 entries: ranks #3 through #7. If there are not enough entries in the leaderboard before or after the user's entry, Steam will adjust the range to try to return the number of entries requested. For example, if the user is #1 on the leaderboard and start is set to -2, end is set to 2, Steam will return the first 5 entries in the leaderboard.
