Discord

Discord Rich Presence allows you to display custom status information for players in their Discord profile, such as the current level, score, or time elapsed.

Features

• Update activity details and state.
• Show session duration with timestamps.
• Display custom images (large and small) with hover text.

Setup in Construct 3

If you are using the Pipelab Construct 3 Plugin, you can update your Discord status using the dedicated action.

1. Add the Pipelab Plugin to your Construct 3 project.
2. Initialize the integration using the Initialize integration action at the start of your game.
3. Use the Set activity action to update the status:

Action Parameters

The Set activity action takes the following parameters:

• Details: A description of what the player is doing (e.g., "Exploring the dungeon").
• State: The current status of the player (e.g., "Level 5" or "In a party").
• Start Timestamp: A Unix timestamp (in seconds) representing when the activity started. This is used to display the "elapsed" time.
• Large image key: The name of the asset uploaded to the Discord Developer Portal for the large image.
• Large image text: The tooltip text shown when hovering over the large image.
• Small image key: The name of the asset uploaded to the Discord Developer Portal for the small image.
• Small image text: The tooltip text shown when hovering over the small image.

Example:

To show that a player is "Exploring the dungeon" on "Level 12", you would call:

• Set activity("Exploring the dungeon", "Level 12", "1742458171", "main_logo", "My Game Title", "level_icon", "Dungeon")

TIP

To get the current timestamp in Construct 3, you can use the expression floor(Date.Now / 1000).

Configuring Assets

For images to appear in the Rich Presence, you must upload them as Rich Presence Assets in the Discord Developer Portal:

1. Go to your application in the portal.
2. Navigate to Rich Presence > Art Assets.
3. Upload your images and give them names (these will be your keys).
4. Use these exact names in the Large image key and Small image key parameters in Construct 3.

Testing

To see your Rich Presence in action, ensure that:

1. The Discord desktop app is running.
2. You have enabled Activity Status in your Discord user settings (Settings > Activity Privacy > Display current activity as a status message).
3. Your game is running via Pipelab.
