Event setup for equipment and skills the player use in the pvp battle

I would like to track the equipment and skills the player use in the pvp battle.
However, we have many equipment and abilities per player. So I guess the event will look like this:

Event name: match_end
Parameters: game_mode, ability1, ability2, ability3, ability4, equipment1, equipment2, equipment3, equipment4, equipment5, equipment6, match_result, match_duration, gold_earn, character_use, score_earn

Is this a correct approach? Does Unity Analytics support array data type in parameters?
If the player has many types of equipment (up to 10) and ability (up to 8 ), we may reach the limit of 10 parameters per event.

Or should I use the follow approach:

Event name: match_end
Parameters: game_mode, match result, match_duration, score_earn, gold_earn

Event name: ability_use_in_pvp_match
Parameters: game_mode, ability1, ability2, ability 3, etc.

Event name: equipment_use_in_pvp_match
Parameters: game_mode, equipment1, equipment2, etc.

 

To reduce the parameter count, you could always use a bitmask if the datatype fits. You could also put several variables into a JSON string, or simply separate values with commas, etc. Unless you are using Raw Data Export, you would not be able to link together the last 3 event types, so you are aware. The Dashboard only provides an aggregated view of the data. I'm not sure if we support a dictionary as a parameter type inside the parameter dictionary, but would be easy to test

 

Hi @JeffDUnity3D . Thank you for your support. I'm quite new to Unity Analytics and those methods. Do we have any document in Unity sites? How, I can do the test as you said?
Besides, I'm not familiar with working with the queries from Raw Data Export yet. So it could be better for a "Dashboard" solution at the moment. Then I will study working with Raw Data Export later on.

 

Raw Data Export is a Unity Pro license feature only. You can use Standard Events https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/UnityAnalyticsStandardEvents.html or if those don't serve your needs, then you could use Custom events https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Analytics.Analytics.CustomEvent.html You would need to research bitmasks and JSON on your own as they are common topics in general programming

 

Thanks. I'm a pro subscriber. My last question: Could you please provide a simple example of using JSON string to keep some variables, especially in my case?

 

It's just a string in JSON format (Google JSON if you need the exact syntax). Although in your case just using a comma separated list would accomplish the same thing instead of JSON if you are not familiar with it.

 

Thank you. Then I will use queries to get whatever I want from the exported JSON data, not the dashboard?

 

That is correct! This may help https://support.unity3d.com/hc/en-u...ries-with-Unity-Analytics-and-Raw-Data-Export . One note however, the Couchbase cbimport application mentioned in the article does not currently ship with their free product, but will sometime next year. There are many other NoSQL (JSON document) db's available.
