ADS SCRIPT NOT WORKING

Unity Engine
1

Hello,
I have an ads script and its supposed to make the button interactable when its avaliable but nothing happens, it just stays un-interactable and I tried it in other projects and it works fine so im confused to why it isn’t working in this project

using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.UI;
using UnityEngine.Advertisements;

[RequireComponent (typeof (Button))]
public class RewardedAdsScript : MonoBehaviour, IUnityAdsListener {

    #if UNITY_IOS
    private string gameId = "4283178";
    #elif UNITY_ANDROID
    private string gameId = "4283179";
    #endif
    Button myButton;
    public string myPlacementId = "rewardedAdvert";

    void Start () {  
        myButton = GetComponent <Button> ();

        // Set interactivity to be dependent on the Placement’s status:
        myButton.interactable = Advertisement.IsReady (myPlacementId);

        // Map the ShowRewardedVideo function to the button’s click listener:
        if (myButton) myButton.onClick.AddListener (ShowRewardedVideo);

        // Initialize the Ads listener and service:
        Advertisement.AddListener (this);
        Advertisement.Initialize (gameId, true);
    }

    // Implement a function for showing a rewarded video ad:
    void ShowRewardedVideo () {
        Advertisement.Show (myPlacementId);
    }

    private void OnDisable()
    {
        Advertisement.RemoveListener( this );
    }

    // Implement IUnityAdsListener interface methods:
    public void OnUnityAdsReady (string placementId) {
        Debug.Log(placementId);

        // If the ready Placement is rewarded, activate the button:
        if (placementId == myPlacementId) {       
            myButton.interactable = true;
            Debug.Log("Ad activated");
        }
    }

    public void OnUnityAdsDidFinish (string placementId, ShowResult showResult) {
        // Define conditional logic for each ad completion status:
        if (showResult == ShowResult.Finished) {
            // Reward the user for watching the ad to completion.
        } else if (showResult == ShowResult.Skipped) {
            // Do not reward the user for skipping the ad.
        } else if (showResult == ShowResult.Failed) {
            Debug.LogWarning ("The ad did not finish due to an error.");
        }
    }

    public void OnUnityAdsDidError (string message) {
        Debug.Log("Log the error");
    }

    public void OnUnityAdsDidStart (string placementId) {
        Debug.Log("Ads Started");
    }
}

Here’s how to track such things down:

You must find a way to get the information you need in order to reason about what the problem is.

What is often happening in these cases is one of the following:

  • the code you think is executing is not actually executing at all
  • the code is executing far EARLIER or LATER than you think
  • the code is executing far LESS OFTEN than you think
  • the code is executing far MORE OFTEN than you think
  • the code is executing on another GameObject than you think it is

To help gain more insight into your problem, I recommend liberally sprinkling Debug.Log() statements through your code to display information in realtime.

Doing this should help you answer these types of questions:

  • is this code even running? which parts are running? how often does it run? what order does it run in?
  • what are the values of the variables involved? Are they initialized? Are the values reasonable?
  • are you meeting ALL the requirements to receive callbacks such as triggers / colliders (review the documentation)

Knowing this information will help you reason about the behavior you are seeing.

You can also put in Debug.Break() to pause the Editor when certain interesting pieces of code run, and then study the scene

You could also just display various important quantities in UI Text elements to watch them change as you play the game.

If you are running a mobile device you can also view the console output. Google for how on your particular mobile target.

Here’s an example of putting in a laser-focused Debug.Log() and how that can save you a TON of time wallowing around speculating what might be going wrong:

Hello Kurt-Dekker,
I managed to fix the problem by using the Game ID’s from the unity dashboard and the text “Rewarded_Android” as my surfacing Id. Thank you for the advice as that will be very helpful in the future
