Looking back, I realized I forgot to mention a couple of things—sorry about that. I'll list them here:

Is there a way to determine how many purchases a user has made of products affected by a given promotion? This is especially relevant for automated promotions, which have a "max purchases" value but no "purchases left" value in their data structure.

For automated promotions again, is there a way to check how much time is left before a promotion is disabled? A Unix timestamp indicating when the promotion became active would be useful for this purpose.

Both values would be helpful for displaying accurate promotion data to the user across multiple sessions.

Okay - cool!

[Hi. Apologies - but we only provide support in English.]

You can schedule a recurring daily cloud code script to run after the completion of your daily tournament. This script will use the GetGlobalLeaderboardPage method to retrieve the daily tournament winner's information and score, then post it to the monthly tournament using the PostTournamentScoreOnBehalfOf method.

We agree with that @antony - we'll get that request to the devs.

Hi folks,

FYI, here's one minor update regarding the Retention Analytics screen:

We have changed it to show Classic retention by default.

The reason for the change is that Rolling Retention naturally trends downward over the 30-day period of the report. That's simply due to mathematics. Rolling retention for a particular day measures whether the user returns that day - or any day thereafter. Thus - the days at the end of the calendar period have fewer days after them - and so the stat will naturally be lower.

We don't want folks to mistakenly think their retention is trending down - so we're now defaulting to Classic Retention which is more deterministic over the 30 day period. For those who wish to view the Rolling Retention - it's just a mouse click away!

Cheers!

Paul.

thx, I will give it a try

Thank you for sharing this information. It does not have an impact on our server-side validation.

Update - we've confirmed with the server team that we believe we are all set.

We'll perform some tests when the Sandbox servers cut over the week of Jan 20th to confirm.

Paul.

@wjurica Assuming you're using c#, consider Newtonsoft for the deserialization & mapping process. It's two lines of code to map your data to a class.

Hi @kinco-h - I assume (hope) you got the info you needed from our support folks?

Thank you so much!

You can achieve it by writing a cloud code script that retrieves the data of each individual user's user entities and stores it in a custom entity collection. After that, call the method RunBatchUserScript() to execute this process for every user within the app. Then, the resulting collection can be downloaded for analytical purposes.

For clarity, Firebase Cloud Messaging recommends creating a topic using Pub/Sub, though this approach is optional.

Oh, server can use client API

Okay, I built it using the commented out part above.

Hi there- thanks for bringing this to our attention! A newer version of the Unity Package containing a fix for this has been uploaded. Available here: https://github.com/getbraincloud/braincloud-csharp/releases/tag/5.4.1

one workaround im thinking of doing is having a "fake" user stat. one that tracks the actually XP and another that's "unlocked XP". then just increase the unlocked XP whenever someone "claims" the milestone

brainCloud doesn't directly support loot boxes currently... Though of course the Item Catalog and User Items services give you the building blocks to construct your own system in cloud code.

To implement such a system, you would:

use Global Entities or Unowned Custom Entities to represent the collection of loot box templates construct your JSON with the rules (percentages, etc.) for constructing the loot box then write a cloud code script that when run - performs the work to award the user the relevant items

Note - there are future plans to add such a feature to brainCloud - but it isn't scheduled yet. I'll add your +1 !

Paul.

@Brad-Hester That bug has been fixes (and patched). Thanks for reporting it!
