User Data
Useing Steam User Data
Introduction
The UserData object provides quick and efficent access to the details and artifacts pertaining to any given user. Heathen's UserData object is interchaingable with CSteamID and ulong and can be created by simply casting or assigning from those values.
1
UserData user_fromUlong = 1234566;
2
UserData user_fromCSteamID = new CSteamID(1234566);
3
UserData user = UserData.Get(1234566);
Copied!
The UserData object is a structure and as such is a value type, it only stores the CSteamID of the user it relates to and reads all other information at the time of request from Steam's local cashe. As this object reads from Steam cashe it is possible to try to read data for a user that is not cashed resulting in empty or partial information.
In general you can only access user information for a user that the local user "knows". This is defined by Steam as users that:
- Are friends
- Share a clan or group (some limitations apply regarding large groups)
- Share a lobby
- Share a game server
You may be able to get limited information for additional users such as user's found on a leaderboard that you have quried.
If you need to request information for a user your local user does not "know" you should call
API.Friends.Client.RequestUserInformation(user, getNameOnly). You should avoid doing this if possible, in most cases there is no reason to get a user's information for a user that the local user does not "know".Definition

public struct UserData;

Fields and Attributes
Me
1
public static UserData Me => get;
Copied!
This simply returns the local user's UserData and is the same as calling
API.User.Client.IdcSteamId
1
public CSteamID cSteamId;
Copied!
This is simply the native CSteamID value as used by Steam's APIs you do not need to read or set this directly as the UserData object is implicitly assignable and convertable to CSteamID and ulong.
IsMe
1
public bool IsMe => get;
Copied!
This is true if this UserData object is the local user
SteamId
1
public ulong SteamId { get; set; }
Copied!
This gets or sets the ID by its ulong value
Avatar
You can use the SetUserAvatar component to more easily manage a given user's avatar texture. The SetUserAvatar componenet will assign a RawImage with the texture and will monitor Steam API for changes to that avatar thus if that user changes there avatar image it will automatically update the RawImage texture.
1
public Texture2D Avatar => get;
Copied!
This is the texture loaded for this user's avatar if it has been loaded. Note you must call LoadAvatar for this user before this value will be set i.e.
1
if(user.Avatar == null)
2
user.LoadAvatar((result) =>
3
{
4
rawImage.texture = result;
5
});
6
else
7
rawImage.texture = user.Avatar;
Copied!
Name

1
public string Name => get;
Copied!
This reads the user's Steam Name
Nickname
