  7. Play the “E3DSFeaturesTemplate” game and run to the 12th Bay.

  8. Check the color of the Sphere which should be green (i.e. same color as the Command -green).

After completing the steps above from the document, you are now ready to move to Step 2 of this tutorial to Append Parameters To your App URL.

  1. This URL will be copied to the Clipboard (Username is your Eagle 3D Account user name) :

https://connector.eagle3dstreaming.com/v5/Username/E3DSFeaturesTemplate/CmdLineDemo

Step 4. Add the Command Lines to the copied App URL

We are going to add '?exeLunchArgs=-[variable]' to the end of the URL. Follow the examples below.

 

  • Example 1 :

In this example, we are adding ?exeLunchArgs=-blue to the end of the URL :

https://connector.eagle3dstreaming.com/v5/Username/E3DSFeaturesTemplate/CmdLineDemo?exeLunchArgs=-blue

 

The system has now appended the Command and has sent both the Command added into the Config (i.e. -green) and the Command added into the URL (i.e. ?exeLunchArgs=-blue) to the UE game.

 

  • Example 2 :

In this example, we are adding ?exeLunchArgs=-green pink red to the end of the URL :

https://connector.eagle3dstreaming.com/v5/Username/E3DSFeaturesTemplate/CmdLineDemo?exeLunchArgs=-green pink red

 

The system has now appended the ?exeLunchArgs=-green pink red Command and has sent both the Command added into the Config (i.e. -green) and the Command added into the URL (i.e. ?exeLunchArgs=-green pink red) to the UE game.

Step 5. Open the game. Run to the 12th bay

Paste the App URL from the Clipboard to the Browser :

https://connector.eagle3dstreaming.com/v5/Username/E3DSFeaturesTemplate/CmdLineDemo?exeLunchArgs=-blue

 

Warning

 

In the game, 2 values will be getting parsed from 2 places in the CMDLine arguments (image below):

  1. From the “Parameters To Pass to App” Config Feature (the green color).

  2. From the additional Command added to the end of the URL (the blue color).
