Custom Session Attributes

You can create sessions with custom attributes, for example a game mode or a skill level. Use them to filter your search results, see Finding Sessions, or to show more about each session in your server list.

Creating a Session with Attributes​

Connect a Make Map node to Session Settings on Create SteamCore PRO Session. Each key is the attribute's name, and each value is made with Make String or Make Integer.

Reading Attributes​

Each search result has a Session Settings array. Loop through it and call Get String or Get Integer on each setting. They return true when the setting has that type, and output its Key and value.

Updating Attributes​

The host can change the attributes with Update SteamCore PRO Session, using a Make Map in the same way.

Example​

  • CreateSessionWithAttributes creates a session with GameMode = Deathmatch and Skill = 1600.
  • PrintSessionAttributes finds sessions and prints every string and integer attribute of each one, for example GameMode = Deathmatch.
  • UpdateAttributes changes GameMode to CaptureTheFlag.
