Use Cloud Code to enable players to contribute to a community goal. A community goal is a goal that players can contribute to collectively. The goal can be anything that contributes to a score or a count, such as to collect items, defeat enemies, or complete quests. It's up to you to define the goal and how players can contribute to it. Cloud Save stores the state of the goal in game data. To contribute to the goal, players call a Cloud Code function. In many instances, this might be a heavy operation, because you need to update the goal progress in real-time as players contribute to the goal. To reduce the number of calls to Cloud Save, you can aggregate the player contributions and update the goal progress in Cloud Save at regular intervals. To enable players to contribute to a community goal, complete the following tasks:

Aggregate plater contributions
Set up the
```
ScoreAggregator
```
as a singleton
Use the
```
ScoreAggregator
```
in your Cloud Code module
Test the Cloud Code module
Verify the Cloud Save data

Prerequisites

Follow the get started guide to generate a Cloud Code module.

The get started page provides a workflow of how to set up the Cloud Code module so that you can implement the community goal use case.

Aggregate player contributions

If you call out to Cloud Save for every individual player contribution, it can increase costs. To reduce the number of calls to Cloud Save, aggregate the player contributions and update the goal progress in Cloud Save at regular intervals. The

ScoreAggregator

class in the following sample demonstrates how to aggregate player contributions and update the goal progress in Cloud Save. In the following sample, the

ScoreAggregator

class has a

RunningCount

field that stores the total number of items contributed by players. The

Increment

method increments the

RunningCount

field by the number of items that the player contributes. The method also updates the goal progress in Cloud Save at regular intervals. The increments are locked to ensure that each request successfully updates the count and isn't overwritten. The method also locks the

LastUpdate

field so that multiple simultaneous calls don't all hit Cloud Save at the same time. Create a new file

ScoreAggregator.cs

in your Cloud Code module and add the following code:


using System;using System.Collections.Generic;using System.Net;using System.Threading.Tasks;using Microsoft.Extensions.Logging;using Unity.Services.CloudCode.Apis;using Unity.Services.CloudCode.Core;using Unity.Services.CloudSave.Api;using Unity.Services.CloudSave.Model;public interface IScoreAggregator{    Task Increment(IExecutionContext ctx, long score);}public class ScoreAggregator : IScoreAggregator{    private Lockable<long> RunningCount = new(0);    private Lockable<DateTime> LastUpdate = new(DateTime.UtcNow);    private readonly ICloudSaveDataApi _cloudSave;    private readonly ILogger<ScoreAggregator> _logger;    public ScoreAggregator(IGameApiClient gameApiClient, ILogger<ScoreAggregator> logger)    {        _logger = logger;        _cloudSave = gameApiClient.CloudSaveData;    }    public async Task Increment(IExecutionContext ctx, long score)    {        // Lock the running count to ensure that each request successfully updates the count and isn't overwritten        lock (RunningCount)        {            RunningCount.Value += score;        }        // To make sure multiple simultaneous calls don't all hit Cloud Save at the same time, lock LastUpdate and use this update flag        var update = false;        lock (LastUpdate)        {            // You can modify the granularity based on your needs            if (DateTime.UtcNow > LastUpdate.Value.AddSeconds(10))            {                // After we decide we need to update Cloud Save, reset the LastUpdate time so that the next update is 10 seconds from now                LastUpdate.Value = DateTime.UtcNow;                update = true;            }        }        if (update)        {            var currentGlobalScore = await _cloudSave.GetCustomItemsAsync(ctx, ctx.ServiceToken, ctx.ProjectId, "global",                new List<string>() { "event_score" });            var item = currentGlobalScore.Data.Results[0];            long scoreToAdd;            lock (RunningCount)            {                scoreToAdd = RunningCount.Value;                RunningCount.Value = 0;            }            _logger.LogDebug("Setting score to {newScore}", scoreToAdd + (long)item.Value);            var response = await _cloudSave.SetCustomItemAsync(                ctx, ctx.ServiceToken, ctx.ProjectId, "global", new SetItemBody("event_score", scoreToAdd + (long)item.Value, item.WriteLock));            // If the Cloud Save request was unsuccessful, add the score difference back to the running count so that it's included in the next update            if (response.StatusCode != HttpStatusCode.OK)            {                lock (RunningCount)                {                    scoreToAdd = RunningCount.Value + (long)item.Value;                    RunningCount.Value += scoreToAdd;                }            }        }    }    // C# can't lock value types, so instead, lock an instance of this class that holds a value    private class Lockable<T>    {        public T Value { get; set; }        public Lockable(T value)        {            Value = value;        }    }}

Set up the

ScoreAggregator

as a singleton

To ensure that

ScoreAggregator

holds state between requests, use dependency injection to set up the

ScoreAggregator

as a singleton.

注

Modules use an in-memory cache to store the state between invocations. Refer to Module persistence between invocations for more information on the limitations of in-memory caches.

Define a

Configuration

class that implements the

ICloudCodeSetup

interface:


using Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection;using Unity.Services.CloudCode.Apis;using Unity.Services.CloudCode.Core;namespace CommunityGoal;public class Configuration : ICloudCodeSetup{    public void Setup(ICloudCodeConfig config)    {        config.Dependencies.AddSingleton<IGameApiClient>(GameApiClient.Create());        config.Dependencies.AddSingleton<IScoreAggregator, ScoreAggregator>();    }}

Use the

ScoreAggregator

in your Cloud Code module

Use the

ScoreAggregator

in your Cloud Code module to increment the player contributions. You can also define a helper method to initialize the Cloud Save data. Call the helper method once to set up the Cloud Save data. Define a

Main

class that uses the

ScoreAggregator


using System.Threading.Tasks;using Unity.Services.CloudCode.Apis;using Unity.Services.CloudCode.Core;using Unity.Services.CloudSave.Model;namespace CommunityGoal;public class MyModule{    [CloudCodeFunction("AddScore")]    public async Task AddScore(IExecutionContext ctx, IScoreAggregator scoreAggregator, int score)    {        await scoreAggregator.Increment(ctx, score);    }    // This is a setup function for initializing the Cloud Save data. Only call it once.    // Don't include this in a live version!    [CloudCodeFunction("InitializeCloudSave")]    public async Task InitializeCloudSave(IExecutionContext ctx, IGameApiClient apiClient)    {        await apiClient.CloudSaveData.SetCustomItemAsync(            ctx, ctx.ServiceToken, ctx.ProjectId, "global", new SetItemBody("event_score", 0));    }}

Test the Cloud Code module

Generate bindings and deploy the module. Next, define a MonoBehaviour script that calls the

AddScore

function to increment the player contributions. The following test script is a simple example that increments the score by 10:

注

In a live version, replace the score with your own logic to generate the score.


using Unity.Services.Authentication;using Unity.Services.CloudCode;using Unity.Services.CloudCode.GeneratedBindings;using Unity.Services.Core;using UnityEngine;public class TestModule : MonoBehaviour{    private async void Start()    {        // Initialize the Unity Services Core SDK        await UnityServices.InitializeAsync();        // Authenticate by logging into an anonymous account        await AuthenticationService.Instance.SignInAnonymouslyAsync();        try        {            var score = Random.Range(0, 100); // Replace this with your own logic to generate the score            var module = new CommunityGoalBindings(CloudCodeService.Instance);            await module.InitializeCloudSave(); // Remove this line after the Cloud Save data is initialized            await module.AddScore(score);        }        catch (CloudCodeException exception)        {            Debug.LogException(exception);        }    }}

Attach the

MonoBehaviour

script to a GameObject in your scene and run the scene. After you verify that the Cloud Code module works as you expect, you can remove the

InitializeCloudSave

function from the Cloud Code module. You can further customize the Cloud Code module to suit your game's requirements for score generation.

Verify the Cloud Save data

Track the goal progress update in Cloud Save as players contribute to the goal.

In the Unity Dashboard, go to Development > Products.
Select Cloud Save.
Select Game Data.
Find and select the
```
global
```
collection.

The value of the item should increase as players contribute to the goal.
