Async Functions​

SteamCore has a lot of async functions that you can use to call Steam functionality, the most important note about Async functions is that you connect the correct "output" node.

NOTE

Always use the "Callback" execution pin when you use the Async functions

More Async Functions​

You can find more Async functions if you look in the blueprint context menu under "steamcore" and the "async" category.

Delegates​

The Steamworks SDK has a lot of different delegates that can be bound and used when needed, these delegates are also available with the SteamCore plugin and enables you to use them in your Blueprints.

Assign the delegate​

Using the "assign" keyword will automatically create the correct event signature needed for the delegate. Image

Delegate bound​

This is how a "bound" delegate looks like, for example this event will execute every time steam notices a change to a friends Avatar. Image

Here is another example, when a lobby join is requested in the friends interface this event will be executed from the Steam Client. Image
