Currency assets#

A Currency in Economy defines virtual money that exists within your game.

A Currency asset file has .ecc for extension.

Creation#

Right-click on the Project Window then select Create > Economy File > Currency to create a Currency asset.

Once created, a corresponding item will appear in the deployment window, and will allow you to deploy the newly created Currency file.

Edition#

Any text editor can modify an Economy file, however, it is always preferred to choose one that supports JSON Schema definitions to benefit from code completion.

Deletion#

Deleting an Economy asset isn't enough to remove the resouce from the service, it is also needed to delete it using the Unity dashboard.

Format and schema#

A Currency asset is written in JSON, and its schema is defined here.

Here is an example of a Currency asset content.

{
  "name": "My Currency",
  "initial": 1,
  "max": 50
}

Naming Restrictions#

The name of the created file will be used as the ID for the Currency object, therefore it can only contain uppercase letters, numbers, and underscores.
