Method call snippet vp_sdk_method(instance, intValue, stringValue, floatValue);

Makes the SDK do something either to the VP universe, world or local state.

Parameters

These are the parameters that this method requires:

Parameter Usage
VPInstance
instance
Pointer to the instance this method call is intended for
int
intValue
Integer value directly used by this method
string
stringValue
String value directly used by this method
float
floatValue
Float value directly used by this method

Used attributes

This method uses data set in these attributes when called:

Attribute Usage
VP_INT_VALUE Used int value sent to server
VP_FLOAT_VALUE Used float value sent to server
VP_STRING_VALUE Used string value sent to server
VP_DATA_VALUE Used data value sent to server

Returns

This method returns a return code integer, which indicates whether the call was successful or errored for any reason:

Return code Cause
VP_RC_SUCCESS Successful call (for methods that have a registered callback, it only means the request has been sent)
VP_RC_FAILURE General failure

The following attributes will be returned in VP_CALLBACK_SDK_METHOD if the operation was successful:

Attribute Usage Also returned for
VP_INT_RET_VALUE Returned by successful method call
VP_FLOAT_RET_VALUE Returned by successful method call
VP_STRING_RET_VALUE Returned by successful method call

Behavior

  • This is the behavior of this SDK method (e.g. when and why it should be used)

Caveats

  • This is a common pitfall, missing expected functionality or otherwise something to look out for when calling this method

Examples

This is where a minimal example would go for using this method
