Feature Suggestions

I implemented this pretty easily just using events. Instead of adding a friend I instead send a 'friendRequest' event to the potential friend. once that player views the event and accepts the request the friends are added.

Thank you! I've hacked an implementation for now that just guesses the ranks on the client side without grabbing the actual ranks. The players will only discover it if they're playing sitting side by side. 🙂

Almost, but you can't define the price in virtual currency.

The solution I came up with is to make a cloud script that purchases and then immediately sells a user item. The user item has a buyPrice and a sellPrice which effectively does the currency conversion.

yes that reason too. readgroup result data is not enough so need more data(like score) so need.

@william Thanks a lot for your feedback and suggestions! It’s really helpful, and we appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts.

Cool. Thanks for the update @MattForemanDev !

Regarding #1, It looks like this can be implemented within the current functionality as follows:

When the client is viewing the chat channel, have the client write a user entity saying, in this channel I have read messages up to (the date of the most recent message they have seen). Next, when the app loads the next time, call “getRecentChatMessages” and count up the messages since (the date of the most recent message they have seen). This will give you your count to show for that channel.

Limitations:
The chat queue for a channel has a limit of 250.
Messages have max days and max history (settable by the developer) so if the players been away a long time, some of those messages wont be around to be counted up.
Go to Messaging Chat to view the settings for these.

Then just call GetSessionForSessionIdAndProfileId() again.

The check your are doing requires the retrieval of the session from memcached. Retaining a copy of the session and then checking that field later will not solve your use case...

i.e. if the players session was valid at the time the system calls GetSessionForSessionIdAndProfileId() -- and then becomes invalid while you've got the session cached --- you can't just check the "isLoggedOut" field - because even if you COULD access it - you would be accessing a STALE copy of it.

So just re-call GetSessionForSessionIdAndProfileId() and if that call is non-null - the session is STILL good - and you are gold.

Thank you for sharing your suggestion with us. We will review it.

Actually, the feature you’re asking about has already been implemented in the 5.9 release. You can now add a discount rate for items in the Promotions section. For more details, please refer to the 5.9 release notes here: https://updates.braincloudservers.com/

Thanks @noah I will keep you updated

Hi @Omar-Alzayed When apps have millions of users, browsing all users can have poor performance.
If you have a smaller number of users, it can be useful.
There is a way to create a segment so you can browse all your users.

Go to App > Design > Segmentation > Segments
Create NEW SEGMENT

There's a couple different ways you can return ALL users. The one I like is to use the criteria A/B Testing ID 0-99 which will return all your users.

Looks something like this:

Segments are automatically run nightly at around 3am but you can press REFRESH SEGMENTS to run it immediately.

Note that the refresh will take time to complete according to your user count, you may wish to do this during low player traffic.

In the case of this particular segment, I believe the Refresh will need to run TWICE to capture all your users. (I think the AB code needs to be initialized in the first pass, and then it can be read in the second pass, capturing all of your users.)

Please take care not to launch the second Refresh before the first one completes. (If you have 10,000+ players then wait about 30 minutes or so)

Once you have players in the Segment, you can browse by Segments. Go to
User > User Browser

Choose BROWSE, then check the box to browse within a segment. Choose the segment.

Reminder, once you have millions of users, this can be very slow. But you can create more refined Segments to filter to just the interesting users, such as Has Bought Something, Is at Least Level 10, and so on.

Segments allow compound conditions so you can really filter to exactly who you want.

Segments can also be used to target Sales and Promotions to specific player groups. For example you could create a $0.99 one-time, loss leader promo that is available to only those players who have not bought anything in your game yet. It's a very powerful system.

Could you let me know if this helped you?
Thanks

@Ali-Raza could you let me know your Team ID and the AppIDs you would like this increase for? thanks
