[section=overview]Overview[/section] Steam Timeline is a feature that exists within the [url=https://store.steampowered.com/gamerecording]Game Recording[/url] framework designed to make it easy for players to find, save and share gameplay moments. [no_glow] [url]https://youtu.be/YwBD0E4-EsI[/url] [/no_glow] [section=requirements]Requirements[/section] Your game does not need to do anything special for the Game Recording to work, however the experience can be enhanced by adding some simple API calls to your game. …

[b]Note on Orientation:[/b] The motion data returned is oriented to the [i]hardware[/i] of the controller, as opposed to how the controller is naturally held. You may need to make design accommodations to your gyro control schemes with this in mind. In the case of "HandHeld" devices with integrated screens like the SteamDeck ([i]k_ESteamInputType_SteamDeckController[/i]) and Lenovo Legion Go ([i]k_ESteamInputType_SteamOSHandheld[/i]), users will typically rotate the controller up by ~90 degrees in order to point the screen toward their eyes. …

Doing so allows Steam to persist the changes between sessions even in event of game crash. [*] At appropriate points within your game (i.e. checkpoints, level transitions), call [api]ISteamUserStats::StoreStats[/api] to upload the changes. You will receive a [api]ISteamUserStats::UserStatsStored_t[/api] callback when that has completed. [*] For achievements that have progress bars use [api]ISteamUserStats::IndicateAchievementProgress[/api] at significant points to show a pop-up with the progress. …

This action origin can be used in your glyph look up table or passed into GetGlyphForActionOrigin or GetStringForActionOrigin [b]Example:[/b] [code=cpp] int nXinputSlot = 1; // Substitute whatever the correct Xinput slot is for your player ControllerHandle_t controller1Handle = GetControllerForGamepadIndex( nXinputSlot ); EControllerActionOrigin buttonOrigin = SteamController()->GetActionOriginFromXboxOrigin( controller1Handle, k_EXboxOrigin_A ); //i.e, k_EControllerActionOrigin_PS4_X if ( buttonOrigin >= k_EControllerActionOrigin_Count ) { // We didn't ship any art in our game for this origin! …
