Adding to Virtual Items Dynamically

Postby ZoopTEK » July 22nd, 2013, 10:15 pm

Again, another clarification post:

It appears that virtual items are stored in BigDB (which is awesome!). This means I could potentially add more items, programmatically, to that database through BigDB. Is this correct?

Not really,

PayVault Items look a lot like BigDB Database Objects, but the player's inventories are not stored in BigDB. To modify a player's inventory there are PayVault method for giving and consuming items.

I'm guessing you're trying to figure out how to do player trades, and in that case you will have to have some server-side code that picks a specific item from one player's inventory, consumes it, and then gives an identical item to the other player:
