指定された時間枠内のプレイヤーの進行状況を統計データサイクルを使用して追跡する

Last updated on October 23, 2024

Overview

The statistics service offered in AccelByte Gaming Services (AGS) allows you to track various player attributes and track them within a specific time frame with a statistic cycle. After the cycle ends, the progress will be reset so players can start to compete again. For example, you could track the weekly kill counts, or track how many specific items the player collects this season.

Furthermore, you could also integrate the statistic cycle with other services such as the new Leaderboard, allowing you to rank players based on the selected statistic and the cycle it belongs to.

Goals

  • Provide an understanding of statistic cycles and how to configure them.

Prerequisites

You must have:

  • access to the AGS Admin Portal.
  • access to AGS statistics API documentation.
  • statistics code configurations that will be added to the Statistic Cycle.

Creating statistics cycles

It is very important for a game to persistently track user attributes within a specific time frame to increase competition among players. You can set up a statistic cycle configuration from the AGS Admin Portal to track users' attributes for a specific time frame by following the guide below:

  1. In the Admin Portal, go to Progression & Inventory > Statistics > Cycles.

    Navigate to statistic cycles in the Admin Portal.

  2. In the Statistic Cycles, click Add Cycle. The Add New Cycle form will be displayed.

    click to create new statistic cycle

    add new cycle form

  3. In the Add New Cycle form, fill in the following:

  • The Name of the cycle.

  • The Description of the cycle.

  • The Start Date and End Date of the cycle. The End Date is optional, and will run indefinitely if the value is empty.

  • The Cycle Type for the Cycle Configuration. Every Cycle Type will have a different configuration for reset time:

    • For Daily:

      • Define the hour (UTC) Reset Time for the daily cycle.\

      daily cycle configuration

    • For Weekly:

      • Define the Reset Day for the weekly cycle.

      • Define the hour (UTC) of the Reset Time for the weekly cycle.

    • For Monthly:

      • Define the Reset Date for the monthly cycle
      • Define the hour (UTC) of the Reset Time for the monthly cycle.

      monthly cycle configuration

    • For Annually:

      • Define the Reset Date for the annual cycle.

      • Define the hour (UTC) of the Reset Time for the annual cycle.

        annually cycle configuration

    • For Seasonal:

      • Define the Season Duration by number of days for the seasonal cycle.

      • Define the hour (UTC) of the Reset Time for the seasonal cycle.

    note

    For the incremental statistics cycle, the default value as the initial value (after reset) is used instead of 0.

  1. Click Add to complete and save the configuration.

Adding stat code to cycle

  1. In the AGS Admin Portal, go to Progression & Inventory > Statistic > Cycles.

  2. In the Cycle Lists, select the Cycle Configuration you want to add the Statcode to, and click View. The Cycle Configuration details page will be displayed.

  3. In the Cycle Configuration details page, add a Statcode by clicking the Add Stat Code button. The Add Statcode modal will be displayed.

  4. In the Add Statcode modal, fill in the Statcode you want to add.

  5. Click Add. The Statcode will be added to the Statcode List.

note

You can use the cycles in the new Leaderboard to create a time-based leaderboard if you select the Statcode that is added to a specific cycle.

Cycle Status

After the statistic cycle configuration is successfully created, it will have one of several status states based on the cycle configuration. Understanding the status is essential so that you can utilize the feature better.

StatusMeaning
INITThe Cycle is not started and/or there is no active Statistic Configuration registered in this configuration
ACTIVEThe Cycle is running and/or there is an active Statistic Configuration registered in this configuration
STOPPEDThe Cycle is finished or manually triggered to be stopped by accessing Stop Cycle endpoint

Use the statistic cycle from the game

Get a list of statistic cycles

You can get a detailed list of all available statistic cycles in your namespace.

Unreal Engine
FApiClientPtr ApiClient = FMultiRegistry::GetApiClient();

EAccelByteCycle TheCycle = EAccelByteCycle::DAILY;
int32 Offset = 0; //Optional
int32 Limit = 20; //Optional

ApiClient->Statistic.GetListStatCycleConfigs(TheCycle,
THandler<FAccelByteModelsStatCycleConfigPagingResult>::CreateLambda([&](const FAccelByteModelsStatCycleConfigPagingResult& Response)
{
// Do something if GetListStatCycleConfigs is successful
})
, FErrorHandler::CreateLambda([&](int32 ErrorCode, FString ErrorMessage)
{
// Do something if GetListStatCycleConfigs has an error
})
, Offset
, Limit);

Get a statistic cycle by cycle ID

You can also get a specific statistic cycle in your namespace. This will help players to focus on a specific statistic cycle.

Unreal Engine
FApiClientPtr ApiClient = FMultiRegistry::GetApiClient();

FString StatisticCycleId = "Your Cycle Id";

ApiClient->Statistic.GetStatCycleConfig(StatisticCycleId,
THandler<FAccelByteModelsStatCycleConfig>::CreateLambda([&](const FAccelByteModelsStatCycleConfig& Response)
{
// Do something if GetStatCycleConfig is successful
})
, FErrorHandler::CreateLambda([&](int32 ErrorCode, FString ErrorMessage)
{
// Do something if GetStatCycleConfig has an error
}));

You can get a list of user statistics using a statistic cycle ID. This will help players to focus on a list of statistic items that are tied to a cycle. To get all the statistics that belong to the user, you can make StatCodes empty, or remove StatCodes.

Unreal Engine
FApiClientPtr ApiClient = FMultiRegistry::GetApiClient();

FString StatisticCycleId = "Your Cycle Id";
int32 Offset = 0; //Optional
int32 Limit = 20; //Optional
TArray<FString> StatCodes = {"Your StatCode 1", "Your StatCode 2" }; //Optional

ApiClient->Statistic.GetUserStatCycleItems(StatisticCycleId,
THandler<FAccelByteModelsUserStatCycleItemPagingSlicedResult>::CreateLambda([&](const FAccelByteModelsUserStatCycleItemPagingSlicedResult& Response)
{
// Do something if GetUserStatCycleItems is successful
})
, FErrorHandler::CreateLambda([&](int32 ErrorCode, FString ErrorMessage)
{
// Do something if GetUserStatCycleItems has an error
})
, Offset
, Limit);
