Introduction
Gets the state of a subset of the current user's inventory. The subset is specified by an array of item instance IDs. The results from this call can be serialized using the Serialize Result node and passed to other players to "prove" that the current user owns specific items, without exposing the user's entire inventory. For example, you could call this with the IDs of the user's currently equipped items serialize this to a buffer, and then transmit this buffer to other players upon joining a game.
Instance Ids
The array of instance IDs to serialize
Return Value
An Inventory Result object defining the handle and success state.
Example
This process requires two steps, first request a result handle with the desired items
The second part is to listen on the Steam Inventory Result Ready event callback and when received check it against your expected handle, if it is the handle for your request Serialize Result produces an array of bytes that can be sent over the network and destroy the handle.
