Heatmaps - All data aggregating to one point

Hi all

I tried implementing Unity Heatmaps a few days ago for death, but all the data is aggregating to one point

Code (CSharp):

1. //Death code
2.     public void Die()
3.     {
4.         #if UNITY_ANDROID
5.         //Viabrates device on death if available
6.         if(ViabrateOnDeath){Handheld.Vibrate();};
7.         #endif
8.  
9.         //Sets up variables for dead state and respawn stage 1
10.         Alive=false;
11.         DeathTimer=1;
12.         Session.StartTime=Time.time;
13.  
14.         //Instansiated explosion effect, and repositions it to the player
15.         DeathPosition=gameObject.transform.position;
16.         ParticleSystem Explode = (ParticleSystem)Instantiate(Explosion);
17.         Explode.GetComponent<PlayerExplosion>().Player=gameObject;
18.  
19.         //Disables main fire emitter and resets its parameters
20.         Fire.gameObject.GetComponent<ParticleSystem>().emissionRate = 0;
21.         FireStrength=0;
22.         FireSpeed=1;
23.  
24.         //Plays death sound effect
25.         Instantiate(DeathSound);
26.  
27.         //Repositions player to the centre of the screen
28.         gameObject.transform.position=new Vector3(-4.493752f,-9.49f,0);
29.         GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>().angularVelocity = 0;
30.         GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>().transform.rotation=new Quaternion(0,0,0,0);
31.         GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>().velocity=new Vector2(0f,0f);
32.  
33.         //Stores score gained during current life
34.         //If first life adds entire score
35.         int n = 0;
36.         if (Scores.Count==0)
37.         {
38.             Scores.Add((int)Session.Score);
39.         }
40.         //If not, code adds up all previous saved scores, then subtracts it from the total score to get the amount gained during current life
41.         else
42.         {
43.             foreach (int s in Scores)
44.             {
45.                 n+=s;
46.             }
47.             Scores.Add((int)Session.Score-n);
48.         }
49.         //Logs analytic data on how long they survived for that life, and how much score was gained
50.         UnityAnalyticsHeatmap.HeatmapEvent.Send("Death",DeathPosition, new Dictionary<string, object>
51.         {
52.             { "Lifetime", Lifetime },
53.             { "Score", (int)Session.Score-n}
54.         });
55.  
56.         //Updates lives and lifetime
57.         LivesLeft-=1;  
58.         Lifetime=0;
59.  
60.         //If lives are still remaining normal camera shake is called and the spawn animation is reset
61.         if (LivesLeft>0){Camera.main.GetComponent<CameraScript>().Shake(1.0f);gameObject.GetComponent<Spawn>().ObjectSpawn();}
62.         //Game over code when no lives are remaining
63.         else
64.         {
65.             //Player rendering and collisions are stopped, as it will not be controllable until a 'Play Again' reset
66.             GetComponent<Renderer>().enabled=false;
67.             GetComponent<Collider2D>().enabled = false;
68.             //Very strong camera shake is called
69.             Camera.main.GetComponent<CameraScript>().Shake(2.5f,32,4f);
70.             //Stops spawn code from running and interfering with the collision state
71.             GetComponent<Spawn>().enabled=false;
72.             //Game over is initiated
73.             Session.GameOver();
74.         }
75.     }
76. }

Does anybody know what's going on? If you need any more information just ask and i will do my best to provide it

Many thanks in advanced

 

I tried following your advice and now its just one red square in the middle, thanks though

Am i doing something wrong or do i just need more data?

 

Ah yeah, the lifetime is updated every frame and is reset somewhere else, regardless it worked when i had it as a normal custom event before heatmaps were integrated

give me a moment to check the files

 

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but where is Application.persistentDataPath?

 

Ah yes, I know what youre talking about, I think thats because when i was testing it was grabbing the transforms position instead of the var deathposition, I tried it again and they seem to be working fine this time

 

I got to the folder you specified but there was no heatmaps folder, only analytics

 

Do you think its just the case of not collecting enough data since I fixed the problem?

 

Ah thank you for all this! I will report back once i see a new processing cycle and see what happens, in the mean time ill be playing the game to get data produced!

I have a mac which i used to develop on, would you like me to go check it out there?

Thank you for all the support! this is what i really love about unity
Best technical support ive ever experienced

 

Came back today, but there isnt really any new change
Is it because im playing it from the standalone?

 

Do we have to specifically build them as a development build?

 

Just tried it again today without changing anything and it worked perfectly! guess I just had to wait longer?
Also, may I ask why you have changed the thresholds on yours?
Again thank you for all the support, weve finally got it working!

 

Is there any word if a gradient based system will ever be implemented? So instead of switching colours at intervals, have it ease?

 

Okay, thank you for that, I was just curious about it as i dont really know much about the development of heatmaps
