Gamecenter Achievements Object [Missing Function]

[UrbanMonk]

The Gamecenter Achievement Object is missing a function to clear the achievement list.

It's not possible to just set an achievement to 0% so we need a action to use the built-in method.

You can read about it here:
http://developer.apple.com/library/i...ievements.html

I was able to clear the list by replacing one of the existing actions with this list of code:

[GKAchievement resetAchievementsWithCompletionHandler:^(NSError *error){}];

It works perfectly using the above, but it would be nice if this was part of the object.

Thanks!

EDIT:

Here is the full code from the apple dev guide:

- (void) resetAchievements
{

// Clear all locally saved achievement objects.
achievementsDictionary = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] init];

// Clear all progress saved on Game Center.
[GKAchievement resetAchievementsWithCompletionHandler:^(NSError *error)
{
if (error != nil)
// handle the error.
}];
}

I second this (request in March 2012). For whatever reason a player may want to reset his Achievements. Thank you UrbanMonk for posting a workaround.

They may want to reset their progress if the app's internal save data gets reset. Depending on how you sync your achievements with Gamecenter this could come in handy in other cases too.

Anders, could this function be implemented in the next update please?

Does anyone know if resetting will cause you to lose the GC points you earned? Or is this a way to farm points if you add it to your app? I would like the reset feature for development, but just wondered if it would have consequences in the player's hands.

[UrbanMonk]

I think points are reset. I didn't think anyone cared about them though!

[mobichan]

Just like Gamerscore on Xboxlive, you have to assume someone cares about them.

I need this feature, be it only for easier testing on the device/simulator. Is this being worked on?

[Anders]

I'll ask Francois if it is possible for him to add this action.
