Inventory Item assets#

Inventory Items are objects that a player can own in-game. You don’t need to set any property for your resources, but it is always possible to add Custom data to them.

An Inventory Item asset file has .eci for extension.

Creation#

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

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

Edition#

Any text editor can modify an Economy file, however, it is always preferred to choose an IDE 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#

An Inventory Item asset is written in JSON, and its schema is defined here.

Here is an example of a Inventory Item asset content.

{
  "name": "My Item",
  "customData": {
    "custom": "data"
  }
}

Naming Restrictions#

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