Configure an achievement

​

Create an achievement

5. Under What type of achievement is this?, select from the following options.
   • Base achievement
     The achievement will be available to players when the game is initially released.
   • Non-base achievement
     The achievement won’t be available to players until after the game is launched.
6. In the Gamerscore field, indicate the amount of Gamerscore to be awarded when an achievement is unlocked. Specify a value greater than 0 and less than or equal to 200. Your title has a total of 1000 Gamerscore points that you can allocate among the base achievements.
7. Under How should the details be treated?, select from the following options.
   • Public
     The achievement and its details will be visible to all players.
   • Secret
     The achievement and its details will be visible only to players who have unlocked the achievement. This is useful for avoiding plot spoilers and rewarding players for experimenting.
8. Optional: In the Achievement deep link field, specify the in-game location to which players will be redirected to attempt the achievement immediately. For example, in ms-xbl-11aa99ff://default?trackId=18, 11aa99ff is the TitleId and default?trackId=18 is the code that your game will understand and use to redirect players to the particular location in the game.
9. Select an Unlock logic that will determine how an achievement will be unlocked.
   • Do something with incremental progress
     Select a single player stat. When the player stat meets the specified criteria, the achievement will be unlocked. Players will be able to see their progress toward unlocking the achievement. To meet the criteria, a stat must be equal to or greater than the specified value. This doesn’t apply to a stat configured with the min operator. Such a stat must be less than or equal to the specified value.
   • Do multiple things, cumulatively
     Select multiple player stats configured with the sum operator. When all the player stats you selected meet the specified criteria, the achievement will be unlocked.
   • Min/max one of several things
     Select multiple player stats that have been configured with the max or min operator. When at least one player stat requirement is met, the achievement will be unlocked.
   • Do something once
     Select a player stat. When its instance is created as a result of triggering a stat rule, the achievement will be unlocked.
   • Custom logic
     To create a complex condition for unlocking the achievement, select the Add stat button and then add a stat condition to the current condition. To add a new condition clause, select the Add condition button.
     • All stats in a single condition clause must be of the same operator type and must meet the same criteria for satisfying the condition.
     • If the stats use the min or max operator, the clause uses the OR logic to meet the condition.
     • If the stats use the sum operator, the clause uses the AND logic to meet the condition. When all conditions are met, the achievement will be unlocked.
10. Optional: To grant an additional reward (art or in-game) for unlocking the achievement, do the following:
    1. Select the Add reward button.
    2. On the Achievement rewards page, select Art or In-game.
    3. In the Display name field, provide the reward’s name to be shown to players.
    4. In the Description field, provide the reward’s description to be shown to players. The description can’t be longer than 90 characters. Include details such as the reward’s duration (if applicable) and instructions for redeeming the reward.
    5. Perform the following according to the reward type you selected.
       • If you selected the reward type Art, then use the Art field to specify the art reward that the player will get upon unlocking the achievement. The reward must be 1920 x 1080 pixels in size and formatted as a PNG file. While developing your title, you can select use placeholder image to use a default XBOX image until your final art is ready to replace it.
       • If you selected the reward type In-game, then
         1. Use the Image field to specify an image that represents the reward that the player will get upon unlocking the achievement. While developing your title, you can select use placeholder image to use a default XBOX image until your final art is ready to replace it.
         2. Use the In-game value field to specify a value or code passed to your game. Ensure that your game can use this code to unlock a reward.
    6. Select Add to add the reward to the achievement or select Cancel to cancel and return to the New achievement page.
11. Select Save to save the achievement or select Cancel to cancel and return to the Achievements page.
