I'm attempting to get used to the systems that GameSpark operates with but I have a few questions:
Whats the best way to create custom functions and call them through cloud code?
Are runtime collections persistent?
Is there any native API for comparing the date/time?
Is it better to use runtime collections or SetScriptData() for persistent data such as XP, items in an inventory etc?
Thank you.

Hi Ian,
1- We have Log Event Requests for custom function creation. These functions have a key in which they can be referenced by and input in the form of attributes. 2- Runtime collections are persistent in an environment. They are not persistent from Preview environments to Live. 3- Yes we have the JavaScript time and date libraries for that. 4- That depends on your approach. setScriptData() is still saving it in a collection. If you're saving tons of data on the player you might want to store it in a separate collection to save on packet sizes when getting default player scriptData back in responses and messages which uses more bandwidth.
