The method 'requestCurrentStats' isn't defined for the type 'Pointer'.

I don't think this is exactly a bug, but I'd like to know the correct way to replace this method that disappeared in the latest version.

Here's the code snippet I was using it:

// Make sure the data is up to date
bool statsRequested = _client.steamUserStats.requestCurrentStats();
if (!statsRequested) {
  throw Exception("Failed to request current stats");
}
int achievementCount = _client.steamUserStats.getNumAchievements();
...

Assuming the function requestCurrentStats

I dont see it being listed here so that is why it is not generated.

Steam removes functions time to time, it could be one of those cases and I am no expert in the matter and I dont know what could be the equivalent.

Thank you @aeb-dev . I'm assuming it's this one:

bool statsRequested = _client.steamUserStats.storeStats();

And according to the Steamworks documentation, that makes sense:
https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/features/achievements/stats_guide

If that's the case, I think it's worth updating the example code.

[aeb-dev]

Sorry I am lost, which example code exactly?

[aeb-dev]

oh, I have no affiliation with steam or their examples if that is what you mean

This one: https://github.com/aeb-dev/steamworks/blob/main/example/bin/example.dart

I am lost. The example link does not use any of the functions you have written to this issue

[wantroba]

The storeStats function should be called whenever you want to update user statistics according to the documentation.

The old requestCurrentStats function also worked similarly.

If the example file is not intended to demonstrate the use of the SteamWorks library in details, but only to show how to use the library as a wrapper, requiring the developer to consult the official SteamWorks API documentation, then I don't see the need to update it.

If you want, you can close this issue, as I will follow the Steamworks API documentation. Your library already helps me a lot as a wrapper ;).

The example code uses requestUserStats, if you think that is also wrong feel free to create a PR. I have very limited experience regarding steam api and how things should be called, so dont trust anything in the example :) If you dont time, well I dont have as well, but I will try to update it when I make a new release

[wantroba]

The requestUserStats function is correct and hasn't changed; the problem was the requestCurrentStats function I was using to update the data, and according to the API documentation, it needed to be called before performing certain actions.

The example code doesn't use requestCurrentStats so I don't think it needs to be updated.
