Admob newbie question (SOLVED)

YES! The listener gets called. I made the listener toggle physics debug and it toggles after about 3 seconds.

Could it be that it has to do with Z order?

Mattias_Hedberg · November 15, 2018, 1:45pm

Could be, the default render script only renders things between -1 and 1.
Remember that the position is inherited, if a parent got 0.5 and the child got 0.7 the actual position is 1.2

To get the prints, launch adb logcat.

Here’s a nifty deploy, launch and log script that I use in my daily work, in situations like this.

Ok! Thank you for the script. I will use it. Looked at Z axis ordering and found that the main.script was attached to the player game object which renders correctly so there is no problem there. Would attaching the main.scipt to a separate game object with a Z of 1 work? We know the issue is in the load function. Maybe position smart is overriding the Z.

I have re-downloaded sergey.lerg’s example and tried to export it for android and got an error. I then tried to use https://github.com/defold/extension-admob by mathiaswking. The example in for that project was working. I tried to scrape the example code to the bare bones to implement and read the docs. However, when I try to implement it, I don’t see the ads show up. Here is the code I used inside of a gui_scipt.

admob.load_banner(‘ca-app-pub-5899342264159115/5277419906’, { width = 320, height = 50 }, callback )

And then I added the following code in a button’s function. I also tried putting it in the callback. Both of which did not work.

admob.show_banner()

Just in case you were wondering, here is the error I get when I try sergey.lerg’s code in the example.

Sorry it was not letting my copy the error.

Not sure why the ad doesn’t show.
Do you get any error messages along the way?

For the “adUnitId” / “adSize”, there is this workaround: Admob extension failed building (DEF-3657)SOLVED

Sorry for the late response but just as a final note, I got it working. I used sergey.lerg’s code. I used that workaround and it all worked. If anyone in the future comes and needs help I can. For me it was a temp file issue and it now all works.
