Live config

Live config lets you push state directly to your game from the Talo dashboard without needing to release an update.

tip

Check out this blog post on how to release Unity game updates without new builds for a detailed walkthrough

Getting the live config​

The live config needs to be fetched before it can be queried. To do this call Talo.GameConfig.Get(). This will invoke the Talo.GameConfig.OnLiveConfigLoaded() event that returns the newly initialised config.

You can fetch the game config any time to refresh the state.

Querying the live config​

You can query properties of the config using Talo.LiveConfig.GetProp<T>(), for example if you wanted to get a boolean value:

var halloweenEventEnabled = Talo.LiveConfig.GetProp<bool>("halloweenEventEnabled");

Or a number:

var maxLevel = Talo.LiveConfig.GetProp<int>("maxLevel");

Example - polling the live config and updating the UI​

You can attach this script to a TextMeshPro GameObject to update the text value every 2 seconds:

using UnityEngine;
using TaloGameServices;
using TMPro;

public class TextLoader : MonoBehaviour
{
	void Start()
	{
		var textUI = GetComponent<TextMeshProUGUI>();

		Talo.GameConfig.OnLiveConfigLoaded += (liveConfig) =>
		{
			textUI.text = liveConfig.GetProp("liveString", "Not set!");
		};

		InvokeRepeating("GetConfig", 0f, 2f);
	}

	async void GetConfig()
	{
		await Talo.GameConfig.Get();
	}
}
