Introduction

using HeathenEngineering.SteamworksIntegration;

public struct AchievementData : IEquatable<AchievementData>, 
                                IEquatable<string>, 
                                IComparable<AchievementData>, 
                                IComparable<string>

A data wrapper around Steam's concept of an Achievement. This is implicitly convertible from string expecting that string to be the "API Name" of the achievement.

AchievementData myAch = "ACH_WIN_100_GAMES";
myAch.IsAchievd = true;
myAch.Store();

Achievements are a common feature of Steam API and one of the simpler to implement. They are typically used to mark milestones or key accomplishments of the player, you can learn more in our Steam Guides.
