Messaging for Minors

LI PASS provides a set of standardized compliance solutions, and projects can directly configure compliance services without using the APIs mentioned in this article if LI PASS is integrated. For projects that have LI PASS integrated, contact the Player Network representative for more details.

For projects that do not use the standard LI PASS compliance solution, this article aims to introduce the APIs provided by Player Network for messaging for minors and how to use them.

Prerequisites

Before using the messaging for minors feature, voice control has to be enabled from the backend. For more information, reach out to the Player Network representative.

Before calling the required compliance APIs, projects are required to configure the key parameters in the URL, such as region and lang_type:

• ComplianceInitWithParams
• ComplianceMultiSetStatusWithAge
• GetAuthResult

Implement messaging for minors

1. Call ComplianceQueryUserInfo to query the player's compliance information and determine if the player is a minor.

   Unity

   INTLAPI.ComplianceQueryUserInfo();

   Unreal Engine

   UINTLSDKAPI::ComplianceQueryUserInfo();

2. Determine if messaging verification is required to be completed.

   Unity

   // Process the INTLComplianceResult callback
   public void OnComplianceResultEvent(INTLComplianceResult complianceRet)
   {
       if (complianceRet.MethodId == (int)INTLMethodID.INTL_COMPLIANCE_QUERY_USER_INFO)
       {
           // Underage, messaging verification is required but not completed
           if (complianceRet.AdultStatus == -1 &&
               complianceRet.NeedVoiceControlIngame == 1 &&
               complianceRet.VoiceControlStatus == 0)
           {
               // Obtain messaging for minors verification URL
               // Open above URL with OpenURL
           }
       }
   }
   

   Unreal Engine

   // Process the INTLComplianceResult callback
   void OnComplianceResultEvent(INTLComplianceResult complianceRet)
   {
       if (complianceRet.MethodId == (int32)kMethodIDComplianceQueryUserInfo)
       {
           // Underage, messaging verification is required but not completed
           if (complianceRet.AdultStatus == -1 &&
               complianceRet.NeedVoiceControlIngame == 1 &&
               complianceRet.VoiceControlStatus == 0)
           {
               // Obtain messaging for minors verification URL
               // Open above URL with OpenURL
           }
       }
   }
   

   Field	Description	Remarks
   AdultStatus	Determines whether the user is an adult -2: Below the minimum age of game rating; cannot access the game -1: Minor 0: Not set 1: Adult	Important
   VoiceControlStatus	Authorization status of social feature controls -1: Messaging feature denied by parent (Messaging scope set to Nobody) 0: Unauthorized 1: Authorized for all 2: Authorized for friends only	Important
   NeedVoiceControlIngame	Whether social feature controls is required in-game 0: Not required 1: Required	Important

3. If messaging verification is required, call ComplianceGetSocialFeatureVerifyUrl to obtain the URL for messaging verification for minors.

   Unity

   string url = INTLAPI.ComplianceGetSocialFeatureVerifyUrl();

   Unreal Engine

   FString url = UINTLSDKAPI::ComplianceGetSocialFeatureVerifyUrl();

4. Open the above URL with OpenURL to display the webpage for messaging verification for minors.

   Unity

   INTLAPI.OpenUrl()
   

   Unreal Engine

   UINTLSDKAPI::OpenUrl()
